“I’ve seen firsthand how the bad leads to a generous abundance of good.”
Mahtob Mahmoody, My Name Is Mahtob: The Story that Began the Global Phenomenon Not Without My Daughter Continues

Mahtob Mahmoody, My Name Is Mahtob: The Story that Began the Global Phenomenon Not Without My Daughter Continues

“As hard as I fought to hold on to my anger, to continue to hate my dad, the tugging of the good memories eventually found an inroad to my heart. No one is all good or all bad. The reality that my father would forever be a part of me was inescapable. A big part of making peace with myself was rediscovering the good in him and claiming that as my inheritance. The act of forgiving wasn’t like flipping a switch—forgiven . . . unforgiven . . . forgiven . . . unforgiven . . . forgiven.”
