Quote #10

Since the night of September 9, 1994, I only saw [Grandma] again once, during the Iranian New Year in March 1995. She died January 4, 1996… Freedom had a price. (38.88)

Death is irreversible. Marjane will always live (well, until she dies) with the fact that she left Iran for her own freedom, and that means she barely got to see her grandmother again. What's that? Oh, we have a speck of dirt in our eye. That's all, we swear. *sniffle*
