MEHRAN
They still love each other.
Tue June 30
When I found out that Candy's book was being released around the same time as Mommywood, I knew the media's focus would turn from Tori's experiences as a new mommy to her strained relationship with her mother. My biggest concern was that the press surrounding the releases would drive them even further apart since their only form of communication lately has been through what they read in the news or magazines. This lack of direct communication is obviously a huge part of the problem. I knew that this situation would only add more fuel to the fire.
Obviously, my hope is that Tori and her mom reconcile one day. I know that despite everything that's happened, they still love each other, and on some level want to be in each other's lives. The press has only focused on the negative, but having known Tori for quite some time now, there are aspects of their mother/daughter relationship that she misses and values. Personally, I have a great relationship with my mother. She's more than a mother to me -- she's become my friend. Ultimately, I want Tori to experience some, if not all, of the strength and inspiration I draw from that bond.

Mehran - I need your help getting a message to Tori!
My daughter has a rare syndrome - Aicardi Syndrome. (You can get information at www.aicardisydrome.org) When she was diagnosed at 4 months old, I was told not to expect her to live very long. She just celebrated her 11th birthday this past February.
July 9-11, 2010 the Aicardi Syndrome Foundation will be holding it bi-annual Family conference in Chicago, IL. I watch Tori's show, have read her 1st book and am about to read her second, watched her on 90210, etc. Needless to say I am a huge fan. However, I am also an admirer of her skills of juggling such a busy career and being a good wife and mom.
Many of our mom's have to juggle careers, non-disabled siblings, doctors' appointments, etc. (For example, personally, I am a teacher, attending college working on my doctorate, being a soccer and volleyball mom to my 17 year old son, taking my daughter to various appts -she has 5 different doctors, and trying to find time for myself.)
I think that Tori would be an excellent role model to have at our "Mother's Tea" that weekend. The conference is actually an informational type conference with breakout sessions on different topics that affect our daughters (the syndrome only affects girls). However, next year we would like to have our first "Mother's Tea". I thought that Tori would be the perfect guest for that. The day of the weekend and time could revolve around her schedule - we would just be honored to have her.
hey myran, u should but out of their business, if dean wants to ride, u should shut up! damn your so annoying...
Wow Mehran, you need to be on the show more! You bring nice balance to the show.
I wish that I had kids so that I could buy little maven! sooo cute! love watching the designs come to life.
I admire you, I really, really do. There aren't many people that are (as I gathered) as self-sacrificing as you left in this world. It seems that you are as supportive of Tori as you would be to your own family, and that is a connection I strive for in my own life. Keep it up!
tori is very lucky to have a friend like you.you always show her your love and support.
I love you Mehran! I wish I had a GUSBAND like you!!! Your relationship with Tori is so much fun to watch on the show. I must admit, I was a little disappointed with the lack of air time this week. I love your hopes for Tori to reconcile one day with her mother. I, like you, love and appreciate my mother and want the same for Tori. CHEERS!!!
Mehran! You're getting more and more "air time" and I like! You are the only person that Tori can seriously sit down and talk too, and she needs that...everybody needs a sounding board and confidante, and that is you!
It was great to hear what an amazing relationship you have with your mother. I have a great relationship with mine as well, and it is one of the most (if not THE most) important relationships a person has in life. I truly believe you are the person that can ultimately orchestrate that reunion.
I hope we'll see more of you next week, and it would be amazing to get to meet you one day!
I agree with Carrie above...you need a Twitter acct!
Wow Tori is so lucky to have you! By the way, I don't like your photo on this blog page... Please find something that's more you, bright, sweet and nice!
OMG Mehran you are my favorite person on the show. You are so cute and every girl needs a gusband like you. You definitely weren't on as much as I would like to see you, but happy to see you make an appearance anyway.
I love that you are close with your mom. My mom and I are really close too and I know what a huge inspiration my mother has been to me. I can only imagine that your mom is as wonderful as you are.
Stay Fabulous!
Mehran, you are lucky to have a good relationship with your mother. In life I have come to understand that not everyone has the ability to be a compassionate mother. I also hope that Tori and her mother can move forward. I have to agree with Tori, on the point that its not really about them anymore. Tori is married with children and her focus is on her husband and kids right now. Which is great, because these are the most critical years of a young childs life.
Hey Mehran! You are my favorite on the show? Do you have Twitter yet? Mixed feelings about tonights show - It was mostly sad because of what was going on, but to make it worse you weren't on that much...But after seeing the previews for next week I think I'll be a happy camper!!
Also - I would LOVE a BFF just like you!! Do you have any friends in Connecticut? :)
You are the kind of best friend every woman should have! Tori is lucky to have you!
