Just Life| Tale of Three Persian Carpets

There are two small Persian carpets in my bedroom. One used to belong to my late Grandmother and the other carpet is from my childhood home in Tehran.  Every morning, I see these two carpets and my mind is flooded with childhood memories.

In another room, there is another Persian carpet which was a gift from my mom.

I imagine one day in the far far future, my daughter would point to these Persian carpets and share a memory of us with her own child. How wonderful that would be.

Since Persian carpets last for a very long time, I imagine these small carpets would travel from one generation to the next.  Hopefully, our names and who we were, would also be traveling from one generation to the next.
