Two girls growing up in the same city,
Going to the same primary school,
With paths never crossing in childhood,
Both making a life in a foreign land,
Each having a child in 1993, one girl, one boy,
Both destined to lose those children, 46 months apart,
Both children taking their own lives, in the same way,
One in the comfort of her home, the other in the eerie darkness of the woods,
One grieving for her beautiful daughter, Shahdi,
The other, Shahdi, grieving for her handsome son, Dara,
Getting to know each other for the first time after decades,
Through the involuntary membership in "The Unfortunate Mothers Club",
Both asking fate about the hand they were dealt with,
Both facing unanswered questions and grief till eternity.
