Early morning cries of Somayeh woke me up. She was hungry. I had to breastfeed her. She fell asleep as I got up and sat in my bed. Through the window I saw the sky was still dark. I looked at the clock; it was five and half. Getting up to perform ablution, again I heard the cries of Somayeh. I hugged and breastfed her. Mahdi had lain beside me and Khadija and Masumah slept side by side a little away. I felt sorry for them. How innocent and meekly they had slept. They were good and silent children. From dawn to dusk they were inside the house. Going from this room to that room, running after each other, playing, and watching TV, were their hobbies.
