Wow! Persian and Arabic literatture! Do you have anything of hers you can publish? My late husband was a writer. There is a book that wasn't finished that I think about.... and I have so many of my own to finish.... I so enjoyed this letter and it is a reminder to each of us writers! What a literary heritage you come from. Some of my friends study Farsi and Arabic so that they can read the Baha'i Writings in the original, and onoe of them started a project teaching people to read some of them in those languages. What a scholar your mom must have been!
