An appreciation letter


Dear My Professor, Mrs. Dr Marandi

I am talking to you about a man, a great man, who was besides me all the time. When I wanted to get married he taught me how to get ready for the pregnancy. He taught me I should be both physically and mentally for bringing up a child. He taught me how to breast the baby. He taught me when I wanted to breast the baby how to caress, touch and feel my baby. He believed that the fathers are the best friend and help for mothers. He had written a program for feeding, vaccination and bringing up the babies. I kept those instructions after 21 years because they remind me those pleasant days and a serious, hardworking man that was lover of babies. He was not only for me but also for all mothers like a friend, consular and physician. It was one of my desires, in all those years to see him and appreciate him.

Now I can remember him how he eagerly talked about the mothers and their babies. I am one of those women that are very indebted to him. I couldn’t imagine that some day I will be accepted in Alzahra University and will meet you as my professor. Could you please favor for me? Could you please say hello to your father with the best wishes for him? I ask my god give him all blessings.

At the end, I am sure, all his services as a minister is recorded in Iranians mind.

Yours faithfully,

Robabe Rezaei

Ms. Rezaie,

Thank you so much for your sweet words about my father, (neonatologist) Dr. Alireza Marandi. I didn't know that your babies were his patients! :-)

You are right; my father does care a lot about the health of mothers and their babies, and he is a staunch advocate of breastfeeding, and a firm believer that men with newborns should help their wives around the home and support them to make things easier for them. Hear ye, hear ye! ;-)

Anyway, thank you for your appreciation and your sweet words. I will tell him you said 'hi'; he is always glad to hear of his old patients. It was very sweet of you to write this; I hope we are both worthy of it!

Bless you! :-)
