Dear Shuhra and Shaharzad,

Your father was the love of my life. He was more than enough for this “poor girl.” In marrying him, I was a lucky girl indeed.

Marriage is an important rite in a woman’s life, but I truly believe marriage should not prevent her from living her dreams. Rather, her dreams should become those of her husband, and her husband’s dreams should become part of hers. This new couple should stand together and make the world theirs and theirs alone.

Sometimes, I long to see the day you will get married, but other times I don’t want it to happen because I know that on that day you will stop being my little girls and become grown women. I don’t want that to happen too fast.

But of course, I hope you will find love one day. Love is important. But not everyone thinks so. Many people believe duty, respect, religion and rules are more important than love.

But I do not think these things have to be separate. Love can exist alongside duty. Love thrives on duty. And on respect.

With love,

Your mother
