Imam Khomeini and Leader

Father and Daughter moment: Ayatollah Khamenei and daughter visit Imam Khomeini

 

Once I took my daughter to visit Imam Khomeini. She was about 4 or 5 years old then. My family had left to Mashhad for Nowruz, and my daughter stayed with me to meet Imam Khomeini. On the morning of our visit, after waking up, I brushed her hair, dressed her up, and tried to braid her hair--you can't do that when you only have one hand! I know very well how to braid hair, but it’s impossible with one hand. You really need both hands to braid as hair must be divided into three sections. Eventually, my companions arrived to help us, and we finally managed to braid her hair together! Afterwards, she eagerly put on her chador and we went off to visit Imam Khomeini.
