A difficult fate was judged by Valentin Pracheva from the village of Hoteshov. Five years have passed since his young wife Jeanne, at the age of twenty-five, passed into eternity (the couple lived together for only five years). Kids almost every day flip through a photo album with photos of mom. It is still difficult for them to understand that mommy will never return to her home again. And the youngest five-year-old Victoria will not remember her mother at all…
— Everything was like in a bad dream, — Valentin shares his memories. — Nothing, as they say, then did not portend trouble. After all, my wife carried the third child without any problems, and in general we were a family that had a lot of ambitious plans for the future, raised children. I worked for a living in the capital. Thanks to this, we quickly managed to raise a certain amount of money to build the desired house. Three years after the wedding, a housewarming party was celebrated. I did all the interior work in the house with my own hands.
Half a year after the appearance of Victoria’s daughter, Jeanne suddenly lost consciousness. Although until this day I have never complained of feeling unwell. Cancer was diagnosed, experts advised not to operate, they say, it’s too late. And almost a month later his wife was gone…
Maybe I am sinning by saying this, but it seems to me that some «well-wishers» were even glad that my wife was gone.
Not everyone was willing to help
After the loss, Valentin had to master reality in a new way. And, as you know, it is in moments of sadness that relatives are also known — friends are experiencing misfortune.
To help podolati everything, scho znenatska spitkalo homeland, for the words of Valentine, blizki, it’s a pity, not for a long time kvapilsya. «So viliti is a little bit, it seems to me, I’m not particularly bulo to whom, — we are sorry for every cholovik. — It’s not easy to read the viconuvati that routine for the robot to watch over the children, so call the robila mother. Girko na dushi bulo vid moreover, sho zhodna i babus krihitnih ditok, ani be-hto z rydnih titok my siritok not zvazhiv for potribne boday chastkovo pereinati obov’yazki druzhini z doglyadu for children.
At the end of the year, I will have to wait for the day to come to the end of motherhood, my sister Tamara came to the help of a young cousin. Dev’yatnatirichna dyvchina alone z-pomizh close relatives took worthy of that vimushenii viklik.
To make things easier, Tamara watched the children, and I went to work on the sparrows. Not for a long time did people come to the memorial close to me, if the squad was already going through the ceremony. You won’t say anything about calling strangers. I’m a new year’s eve, I’m a warm word, I’m a robot giver in the world of the capital, I’ve put my shoulder to a difficult hour. Chuina zhinka y nini opikuetsya our spravami that pereymaetsya dolya call someone else for her homeland.
Nina often comes to the help of fellow villagers-Protestants. Schorok in advance of the religiynih holy stink generously obdarovuyut ditlakhiv gifts. And the daughter of Ruslan from our village of samotuzhki shie sukni I willingly give to my children.»
Fit zi sorrowful that rozpochati life z pure arkusha
— Insanely, cleverly bulo to make a reservation about that situation, in which we were able to describe ourselves mimovoli, — every cholovik. — However, children have become the most important bugs in our life. Vinikalo pitannya: sho zh robiti, abi kompensuvati vtratu materi, їi viddanist, ta, zreshtoyu, yak zapovniti marriage zhinochoi energetiki u domi? Aje is especially necessary for the gloves of the vona vkrai. With the rocks, the naystarsha Christina pochala shvidko doroslishati. The additional help I want in the kitchen is so dorechna I neobhidna.
The children grew up, the two older ones went to school. Kristina is in the third grade, Maksimka is studying in the second. But five-year-old Victoria is just getting ready for science- next year she will go to the preparatory group. Since children study in different shifts, it is not so easy to plan joint leisure or travel together. Moreover, for the convenience of movement, a car would not hurt the family. However, the head of the family cannot afford such a luxury now. Because in order to buy a car, you need to go to work, but there is no one besides Valentine to watch his children.
All three of the little ones draw well, and Maksimka, in addition, still dreams of mastering the guitar. However, again, you need to have a car to take him to music school. Therefore, while the creative plans of the children cannot be realized, their father undertook to restore landscaping in his own yard. For a week or two of intensive work in the courtyard of the Prachiv hung fence. In addition, the family plans to equip the second floor of the house. But this is later, when additional funds will appear, says Valentin.
Man is created for happiness, like a bird for flight
Valentin Prach is not only a widower, but also a person with his own thoughts, feelings, values and tastes, who deserves love and female attention. However, since his wife died, the husband has not found the only one who would share his plans for life, became a good partner in a relationship. Who knows, maybe remarriage is almost the only way to overcome loneliness, which will give you the opportunity to fully console yourself with life?
