The Last Member of the Big Family

All my family are now gathered at Shabnam's, in a very beautiful town in north of Iran named Astara. It's her first ceremony after she has left us. I am the last member who is still far away, and hope the weather stays clean so that I can catch my flight tomorrow. And still will have one hour ride to the town from the airport, which again I hope the road stays not frozen.

The last time I wanted to go there the flight was canceled because of the heavy snow and I had to cancel my trip since I couldn't find any place in the next flight! It's been exactly one year since my last visit from Astara and I miss all my family, though I know I will not see the most important one among them; Shabnam.

There's gonna be lots of lots of people wearing black, with sad faces, some with tears...
There's gonna be her beautiful picture surrounded with candles...
There's gonna be red roses rounded with black ribban; she loved red roses.
There's gonna be her mom and her dad, it's hard for me seeing them like this, we used to be like twins and I'm gonna always remind them of their daughter.
There's gonna be her brother, how can I tell him how sorroy I am that he doesn't have a sister anymore?
There's gonna be her little nephew who doesn't like God, blaming him for taking his aunt away!

And after a few days, everybody will go back to their own lives...that's how it has always been.
Only the memories will stay.
