I was born a year after Islamic revolution and some months before the Iran-Iraq war.

I always ask myself why my mother gave me birth, not thinking if her baby will be happy in this situation. Why she wanted me to live in war?

I think she was brave, but if I could choose for myself, I wouldn’t choose Islamic Iran, in the middle of war.
