On the first anniversary (Nov 22, 2006) of losing my friend Vika, I just tried to translate a poem I wrote in her memory on December 6, 2005 in Armenian. It doesn’t sound in English the way I feel and describe it in Armenian, so I have given up on translating the “Unanswered Prayer.”

I don’t know if they read my blog in Paradise, but I want to let Vika know that I love and miss her very much, and always will.

…Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the States. Enjoy life…
