aiIt has been 3 months since
the war started. Everything
changes really fast. At this
moment all my relatives are
separated. My mom and
brothers are in the UK, my
father and 2 grandmothers in
Dnipro. My aunt and
grandfathers went back to
Chernihiv, and I am here, in
Turkey. I couldn’t imagine that
it would have turned out this
way.
aiI am already used to calling
everyone by Telegram every
day and putting up with not
seeing their faces in real life.
Only now do I really
understand how important the
family is.
Now I would give anything
to see them, to have a
5-minute talk during our
family dinner, and walk in
the park.
aiI regret that I once
quarrelled with my parents
and did not talk to them. Now
I would give anything to see
them, to have a 5‑minute talk
during our family dinner, and
walk in the park.
aiI would advise all young
people who are still living with
their families to spend more
time together because you
never know what might
happen next.
