What is the rank of a mother? The holiest, the most wonderful creature in the world. How does Darwin justify such creature? Is it a random phenomenon?

Tonight N is with Mam in hospital. Today, we heard of former dean of Polytechnique University has died of colon cancer. Every time I hear this name my heart stops for a second.

I wish no one was hungry in this cold night as I'm not. I wish there was no one unsheltered. I wish there was no one shivering. I wish my Mam wasn't sick in this cold dark night.

It's half an hour since me and A1 have arrived but Mam has been taken for sonography. This night I'll leave for A2.

I'm in Mehrabad airport heading back home. Mam's still hospitalized in Kasra; N's with her. A1's in Hotel. Now 5 days has passed since Mam was operated. Her conditions have improved considerably but still not so good. Clinical signs around the operation quite good; no internal bleeding and wounds being remedied but they are still too painful. The worst problem is that her morals are too bad.
