Kaarhayeh Aghab Oftaadeh

She said you need to take care of them, every single one of them, because if you don't, they sit there in the corner of your mind forever, watching, nagging, shaking their legs in boredom sometimes, crying like babies at other times...take care of the unfinished business---it's actually a mental health issue.

She said it has taken her two years after her mom passed away but she is alomst done...with her Kaarhayeh Aghab Oftaadeh. It helps her heal, it helps her move on.

The smallest things count...even sewing a button on that old blue shirt, throwing away an old shoe box, and for me, finishing the Kite Runner from last year (since I just couldn't put up with all the tragedies of that book at that time in my life), and I have about three or four other books that I half-read...they have been sitting in the corner of my brain.

And yes of course, I need to finish knitting his scarf now, which has been sitting in the corner of my room for a while. And in the corner of my heart.
