Therapeutic historyRussian field, and along its edges there are two villages. There were many of these scattered throughout our vast country. One was flat, okay, with one street and huts on both sides, and the second was on a hilly area, where houses were located here and there. Who would have known that it was here that a new family would be born, which would go through 57 years of long life together. They had a lot in common: both were children of war, born and raised in peasant large families and met with difficulty very early, both were kind , loyal and easy-going, never left others without help and support, lived with optimism and faith. But they knew nothing about each other. As it happened in Rus', they were matched. Lina and Tolya met for the first time when matchmakers were sent to the bride’s house. Without saying a word, they liked each other at first sight, both beautiful and young. True, the girl, who was only 19 at the time, at the beginning was delighted that her groom was mature, which means he will be reliable - she thought momentarily, and then got scared - or maybe he will be divorced, after all, he is already 24 years old. But the earth is full of rumors, and the girl was glad to learn that Tolya studied in the city and therefore postponed starting a family until later. They played a cheerful wedding and went, like many young people, to explore the city. It was not easy - they built their own house, ran a household, completed their studies and became successful specialists, and gave birth to two children. Life was without excesses. With their first salary they bought a chest of drawers, which toured with them from one apartment to another, like a talisman that was impossible to part with, even if it was already shabby. But they never forgot about their small homeland and every weekend they went out to help their parents who were aging year by year. . The village and their family were a place of strength for them - they gave them support, a sense of pride and reliability, closeness and warmth. Therefore, after working together on the ground, sitting at a large round table and gathering several generations of the family around it, adults and children went out into the yard after dinner to chat, exchange thoughts, dance to the accordion and sing ditties. Those were the times! People lived simply, but with a sparkle in their hearts and souls. In such an invisible, but very clear, visual way, the connection of generations was passed on to children through blades of grass and blades of grass, work on the land, helping loved ones and having fun, playing with their siblings and cousins. This is how their unity passed and, when the wisest generation passed away, the connection remained. It came from the soul and heart through the memories of that time, forever remaining in memory, character, attitudes, rules and values. Those pieces of furniture, dishes and towels that were real conductors between several generations were especially valued, treasured, stored, as if feeling a connection times and those states that are forever etched in memory. Anatoly and Angelina went through a difficult but very happy path of life together, passing on to their children and grandchildren everything that was revered in their Family. Thus, they remained alive with bright memories. After all, it is very wisely noted - we are alive as long as our history is alive, as long as we remember and honor our loved ones. Recently, this is especially valuable and relevant in our troubled world. And most importantly, a lot depends on ourselves - what the future of our children and grandchildren will be like... And the chest of drawers has found a new life, brighter with a good memory of the past. What could be better!? All this means - life goes on, Rod’s memory is significant!
