Dear Reza,
It is so hard to believe it is 40 days that you are not with us. In past 40 days, I was thinking about all our good memories from the day I was 3 and you offered to take me to Istanbul in you luggage,to days we were selecting your favorite songs to play in your new car , and to days we were having coffee at your favorite place in Toronto while you were showing me around. I don’t know if one day I can accept you are gone, but I am sure you are in a better place watching us with that smile on your face. Rest In Peace my lovely Reza. You will always be loved and missed.
