Aug 2, 2004, I was holding my little girl who weighed eight pounds, while Sarala, my lovely wife, was recovering from giving birth at home. Now one year later on Yasmina's first Birthday, we are in Makawao, surrounded by the beauity and power that is Maui, with family and friends close by, and we are thankful. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, LITTLE YASMINA! Grow happy, strong, intelligent, creative, and brave. We love you.

Robert Farhad Vafaie, Sarala Dandekar Vafaie, and Buster!
