For Baba on his birthday: Part II

Back to the topic of how full my dad's stay in Haifa was:
besides taking care of me in the hospital and when I was at home resting, he had the privilege of volunteering his language skills to the Institution of Huququllah. I couldn't have picked a better service for him to do! :)

To conserve water during the summer months, the gardeners remove nearly 70% of the grass on the Baha'i properties, which meant my dad could walk where the grass once was to pick for his co-workers petals that had fallen from the trees in the gardens surrounding Amatu'l-Baha Ruhiyyih Khanum's resting place. They were the same petals that his co-workers gave him his first day of volunteering.

You are entirely too sweet to me. I truly had an amazing experience and am grateful to you for applying to serve at the World Centre, to the House of Justice for accepting your application, to Allan Waters for accepting your suggestion to invite me to serve in Dr. Varqa's office, to Marcie for accompanying Grandmother home, to Jackie Silver for allowing you to flat sit, to all of your wonderful friends for treating me with such love and respect.
Last night your mother and Ruha made dinner for me and showed me "The Queen". After the movie I showed them the pictures of our trip on the CD-Rs that you made for us. They enjoyed them very much. Today Ruha and I are going to get a cable that she needs for her video camera so we can watch the video that you and I made. To be continued on Part II...
