Always Thinking of You

"Hassan had so many questions about you." pg. 207 I think that this quote and the letters that came after it really shows the bond between Amir and Hassan. Even though Amir made a terrible mistake and let Hassan down in the worst possible way, they never stopped thinking about each other. Did they marry? Did they have kids? Were they happy? These were things that seeped into Amir's thoughts everyday and every special occasion that he attended, but always with grief and regret. We don't know what Hassan thought when he thought about these things except for what he said in his letters, but I think that he never stopped loving Amir or wanting the best for him. The bond that lasted years and generations was strong and had been tested in the most terrible and life-altering ways, but they never forgot. Eventually, I think Hassan forgave Amir and Amir was able to move on and realize the bond they has without grief and anger and with more love and respect.
