From Wendy Pippin:

"Thank you, Majid, for another wonderfully insightful poem. I wish I had been there to see Azad's bangs fluttering and little legs pumping. This poem is particularly poignant because the main event —Azad— is celebrating his 30th BD. What a lovely tribute this is! I am honored to know both of you.

Happy birthday, Azad. I wish I could be there! 

Love,
Wendy"
