Family

man knocking on door- cropped

On October 28th we decided to visit our family in Iran after 2 years of not visiting the country. I thought it's not bad if we don't say that we are going to visit them and then we surprise everyone at the door. So, we bought the tickets and the only person who knew that we were going to Iran was my sister. Meanwhile, when we bought the tickets suddenly we received an email from the government to inform us that it's our citizenship test time. It was really stressful time for us, so in fact we got a surprise too! Anyway we studied so hard in a short time and passed the test and with lots of happiness we went to Iran. When we arrived there, my sister, with her friend, came to pick us up. Then, we went home to surprise my mom, and it was the best part of our trip! We got home, knocked the door, she opened the door and then... surprise!

She was really shocked, she gave me a big hug and both of us were crying a lot, then she saw my son and my husband. She was really happy; it was the first time that my mom met my son, since he was only 8 months but now he is almost 3 years old, he's a big boy now!

Eventually we surprised everybody in the family and every single reaction was totally different. It was a very nice experience that won't happen anymore but will be staying in our minds forever.
