Goodbye Oxford

I have been thinking about the day we moved here and how uncertain I felt about living somewhere new. It seems like yesterday that we went for that long walk along the canal on our first evening in oxford. We passed beautifully decorated canal boats and people making there way home on their bicycles. We new no one in this magnificent city and our loved ones were left behind. We were excited about being here and nervous about what the next two years of our lives held in store for us. We ended up in the city centre by which time darkness filled the warm summer night. Almost two years have passed since then. We got to know and love Oxford. We found many new friends. We lived and worked happily. And now we are returning to London with a new addition. It’s true when they say ‘time flies when you’re having fun’.  We will soon close the ‘Oxford chapter’ in our life and begin a new one.

I will miss this wonderful city in which I have so many memories. I will miss seeing the students dressed in their examination outfits some smiling, some looking somewhat unhappy about the outcome of their exam. I will miss my friendly patients and the kind people I worked with. I will miss the colleges and historic buildings which gave this city such character and dignity.  I will miss our long trips to and from London on the red and green coaches and the journeys that I may not have necessarily enjoyed at the time. I will miss that canal which I passed everyday on my way to work. Oxford will always have a special place in my heart.

Now I know that wherever I go it is I who could make that place work for me. It is I who can make my life enjoyable or detestable.  So from now on I vow not to be afraid of ‘NEW’.

Dear Sara
That is true,what make our life is us ,our attitude and reactions for what happen around us.However this has exceptions and there are some other factors sometimes.

آری دختر عزیزم
باده از «ما» مست شد ، نی ما ازو
قالب از «ما» هست شد ، نی ما ازو
این ماییم که جهان و هر چه دراو هست را می سازیم.و آنچه در ذهن ما می گذرد ، در واقع ، دنیای ما را می سازد.

Accept our warmest and most sincere hellos from Kerman. we wish you lots of good moments and a plethora of better memories in London. Build of your imaginings a bower in the wilderness ere you build a house within the city walls. Good Luck and see you soon.
