Nadi, of course, agreed
that it was a wonderful idea
:02:49
to cut down the trees at
our home on the Caspian,
:02:53
to have the sea spread before us,
:02:55
to reach infinity with our eyes,
:03:00
to see forever.
:03:05
But then, our life went
the way of the trees
:03:10
when the Ayatollahs ripped the
soul out of our beautiful country.
:03:17
Well, enough.
:03:20
Today is not a day for the old.
:03:22
It is a day for the young.
:03:25
To the future. To our Soraya.
:03:28
May she be a happy
wife as she is a bride.
:03:31
And, perhaps,
:03:33
she will not forget her poor
mother and father so soon
:03:37
and return to us and give to
us many little grandbabies.
:03:43
A father can dream.
