Marjane the little girl in Persepolis,is going through a hard time dealing with the fact the only uncle she knew that seemed like a hero to her was her uncle Anoosh. he was in jail for 9 years until he came out and came to meet back with his family and then he met Marjane. they hit it off pretty good, her uncle Anoosh told her stories and she would hang on to every word that came out of his mouth. they had a very close bonding, it was instant that he became her favorite uncle and she became the daughter he never had. he had a family but his wife broke his heart and he hardly saw his own daughters, so Marjane was as close he's ever got to a daughter. everything was great in Marjane's life, until the day she came home and her uncle was gone. she later found out he was taken back to jail. she paid him a visit,they talked and he told her how much he meant to her, that was the last time she got to speak with her uncle Anoosh. he was executed.
in my life i think the hardest thing i ever had to deal with was letting go of something that at one point meant something to me. old friends,old loves,and just facing the fact that life is not the way you would always expect it to be. but then at the end you just know it was bound to happen and then all those bad times you went through all that pain and hurt you once felt,you just find yourself a stronger and better person. you find out a little more about yourself and what kind of person you are on the inside. its almost as if your just finding yourself every step of your journey through life. so in a way its the worst feeling of letting go you once felt close to your heart but once its gone its like you know its only for the best and know you can walk away a stronger and a new person.
