2. Today I took my daughter to the altar. And ten years ago, I pulled a 14-year-old boy from his mother's burning SUV after a serious accident. Doctors said he would never walk again.

3. Today I came to work at 7 am (I am a florist) and saw a soldier standing near my store. He was heading to the airport to leave for Afghanistan for one year. “I give my wife a bouquet of flowers every Friday and I don’t want to leave her without them while I’m away,” he said.

He provides for our entire family. This morning I was looking for pliers in my dad's tool box and found an old piece of paper folded many times. It had my father's handwriting on it, and the date was exactly one month before I was born.
This is what I read there: “I am 18 years old, an alcoholic who was kicked out of college, a victim of child abuse with a criminal history of theft. Next month I will become a teenage father. But I swear that I will do anything for my little girl. I will be the kind of father that I myself never had.” And I don't know how he did it, but he did it.

60. Today my blind friend told me in the most vivid detail how beautiful his new girlfriend is.
We, at the editorial office of Infoiac.ru, were very moved by these incredible stories that showed that love really exists and that you need to believe in it.
This was over 10 years and 2 children ago. In December 2005, we agreed to meet at the gates of my office after work. I didn’t go out for an ungodly long time (about 40 minutes from the appointed time), but he still waited. I hope he doesn't regret it. As well as the fact that he sent me a private message on a popular dating site.
Yes, I was looking. Active, as they say ☺ 43 acquaintances in six months. Anything could happen. Media mogul on a Cadillac, Hollywood film academic, freak who bet that whole year Every day he will go on a date with a new girl.
"Hello! Shall we go to the cinema?!” I studied the profile. 4.5 years difference in my favor, student. “Aren’t you too young?” - she wrote as she snorted. But he was not embarrassed.
I still remember roses dusted with snow, and how on the second date he fed me nuts, and on the third, tangerines. You say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach? Ha! Caring is pleasant for everyone... And a man who knows how to care is the most valuable specimen in the world...
Two years after we met, planning to propose to me, Ilya prepared romantic dinner, hid a diamond ring and wanted, according to all the rules, to ask my parents for my hand in marriage first (we lived with them then). Here, however, a small incident arose. The potential father-in-law and mother-in-law were watching TV, the series was very exciting, and what was going on in real life, could not distract them from the on-screen ups and downs. The future husband had to be persistent on the path to family happiness. Well, or they just heard me sob that “if this continues, I will never get married!” ☺
Now we have two children. My daughter is 4 years old and my son is 1 year 8 months old. The eldest has not yet asked how mom and dad met, believing that we have always been together. But I think we will tell her this story soon. It’s always nice to remember such moments in life☺
Ksenia and Andrey, together 9 years
My husband and I met online on a dating site. I don’t even remember what it was called - besides, our sites were definitely different, just with the same database. A friend registered me.
It happens that in life everything does not go the way you want, and it seems that everything around is gray and monotonous. But it is worth remembering that miracles are all around us and happen every second.
And if you forget about this, then we can easily remind you of this with the help of unimagined stories of people who share them with us. Read and recharge yourself with positivity and faith in miracles and good fortune!
There is a small park next to the house. My sister and I often walked here. There is a mystical place where my mother met our father, and where my sister met her current husband. So, today a guy ran into me in this very place. He apologized and helped me up. The whole family is already preparing for the wedding.
Until I was 10 years old, I lived in Tashkent, where I also went to kindergarten. My mother and aunt told me that in kindergarten I was friends with a certain Dasha and even promised to marry her. Many years have passed, I live in Moscow, I met a girl, and our communication grew into something more. Her name was also Dasha, which I didn’t attach any importance to at first. Over time, we got to know each other better, I told her a story about kindergarten. And it turned out to be that same Dasha! The wedding is coming soon. The man said it, the man did it!
I realized that he was my destiny when I found out that he was Alexander Alexandrovich! And all because I am Alexandra Alexandrovna! Never mind, they continued the tradition and named their son Alexander!
I moved to a rented apartment and lived there for two weeks. One day I decided to have a spa day: I covered myself from head to toe with blue clay. Suddenly someone comes in. I’m in an “Eve costume”, blue like Avatar, meeting the gaze of a guy who is dumbfounded by what he sees. She hid in the kitchen and grabbed a knife. The guy took out a gas canister, and we began to find out who got here and how. It turned out that the apartment belongs to this guy, and it was rented to me by a granny who dreams of arranging a personal life for her grandson. We still remember our showdown that day. But I never moved out of the apartment - we live in perfect harmony.
I found out about my husband's mistress right at the wedding. I couldn’t control myself, I couldn’t contain my emotions - I burst into tears, ran away, went to the subway, went somewhere. Huge wedding dress, a girl in snot and tears, attracting all the attention of passengers, sidelong glances. And then one young man, apparently deciding to lighten the mood, picked me up and carried me out of the carriage, as if he were a groom. Thanks to fate. Now I am truly happy with my new husband.
Back in the fall, my mother was diagnosed with cancer. Doctors said that the chances of recovery are very low. I constantly sat with her in the ward, and there was a cat at home, which was left alone. And over time, I took her to the ward, to my mother and me. On the very first day, the cat lay down on her mother and slept like that the whole day. In the morning they came to take tests and noticed that the cat was not breathing: she had died. And the next day we were told that the disease was going away, and the tests were very good, and this was some kind of miracle. The cat gave its life to its mother... We have no other explanation.
I lost my wallet: there were documents, money, cards and a photo of a cat. And two days later I found a phone in a minibus. I called the mother of the bereaved person and made an appointment. I come to him, he is joyful, he says that there are still honest people. I tell him that I recently lost my wallet myself, so I know what it’s like... And then the guy takes the wallet out of his pocket and asks if it’s mine? I open it, and there’s a photo of my cat! You can't imagine how stunned and surprised we were. All the money and cards were there. Now we're friends with this guy. It’s not for nothing that fate brought us together this way. Still, miracles still happen...
Drops of fresh rain suddenly touched me with their coolness, leaving the wet green leaves. A slight trembling ran through my body. I walked step by step along the forest path. The eyes moved slowly across the distant pine expanses. There's not a single soul around. I'm the only one in vicious circle your thoughts against the backdrop of calm birdsong. The comfortable silence was unexpectedly interrupted by the familiar melody of Lara Fabian “Meu grand amore”. A wet hand reached into his jeans pocket and pulled out a ringing Nokia. The screen blinked persistently, displaying the inscription “Seryozhenka is calling” in black and white.
My fingers, it seems, having absorbed all the strength of my spirit, squeezed the mobile phone so tightly that a lightning-shaped crack appeared on the screen. The phone was still playing its ringtone.Then my hand again, having absorbed all the strength I had, swung and threw the mobile phone with all my hatred into the forest thickets. There was a loud crash. The previously beloved Nokia, hitting a pine tree, shattered into pieces. There seemed to be a moment of calm in my soul. But it only seemed so. There was no reassurance. Only pain, hatred, hatred... Hatred for a man named Serezhenka. Oh, what a pity that it was impossible to break this man’s heart like my poor cell phone. An insensitive heart that betrayed me after three years of what seemed like an impeccable life together.
Treason. Betrayal. I don't want to add anything else. I don't want to trust people anymore. Do not trust anyone, because sooner or later you will be deceived and your heart will no longer withstand the outburst of bitter feelings. And I can never forgive, not for anything. I don't have the strength to do this. No matter how sweet the excuses may sound, I will no longer be able to open a new page of life with the person who betrayed me. I won’t be able to, because I trusted you before, I won’t be able to give a second chance...The circle of the same thoughts constantly enveloped me. And the sad, gray weather seemed to deliberately induce melancholy and sadness. Suddenly the circle was forced to open. Walking along the same path, a few meters ahead, under another pine tree swaying in the wind, I saw the outline of a small man dressed in a dark blue sweater. Having looked closely, it became clear that under a forest tree sat a lonely boy, about seven years old, sadly looking at the ground. Its slightly elongated dark hair, completely wet from the rain, stuck to their cheeks, and children's hands tightly clutched the teddy bear. I continued to walk as quietly as possible along the path in the direction of the little stranger, trying not to scare him away. Having almost approached him, my foot involuntarily stepped on a pile of dry branches, and the silence was interrupted by a sharp crack. The boy instantly raised his head and looked at me in fear. In his blue eyes I immediately noticed the tears. The poor wet boy was crying. I immediately felt incredibly sorry for this fragile tiny man who was still looking intently at me. Without thinking for a long time, I sat down next to him, smiled broadly and finally calmly said:
The boy was silent for about five seconds, and then slowly began to rise from the ground. I helped him, and the two of us walked along the forest path.Our conversation flowed very smoothly. I managed to find out that the boy’s name is Andryusha, that he lives in a village near the forest. And he and his dad came there to visit his grandmother for the weekend. I told him that I myself was also from the same village and was visiting my mother there. We started talking animatedly, and I tried to cheer up the boy. And he seemed to have completely stopped crying, which made me very happy. We slowly went down the hill towards our villages, leaving the forest - our meeting place. Andryusha told me a lot about his summer holidays: and how he and dad went to the sea, and how they went to carousels, parks, cinemas, and fished here in the village. But he never said a word why he was crying. I thought for a long time whether to ask him again or not. I was afraid that it might start again. But my curiosity won.
- Andryusha, what happened to you anyway? Why did you come running into the forest in such weather?
To my surprise, the boy answered:
“I always come running here when I want to be alone.” Today I overheard a conversation between grandma and dad. Dad told her that he was seriously ill. He also talked about some kind of operation and that we did not have money for it. It scared me a lot.
This news almost knocked me off my feet.
– Andryusha, perhaps everything is not so serious and you didn’t hear everything. You need to talk to dad, who now has probably turned over the whole village looking for you. And also, if you want to know, I am a surgeon. And if something really serious happened to your dad, then I’m happy to help.
“Thank you, Katya,” the boy said affectionately, smiling at me.
I almost started crying.
Our conversation was interrupted by unexpected shouts of “Andryusha! My boy! And then I noticed a tall, dark-haired man running towards us. When he approached us, I was already convinced that it was Andrei’s dad. I don’t know what the boy’s mother looked like, but he also looked very much like his father. The same brunette, blue-eyed, with attractive facial features.
Andryusha rushed towards. I just stood nearby and admired the picture of the warm embrace of father and son.
- Son, where have you been? We have already raised the whole village on its feet. Everyone is looking for you. Where have you been, you prankster? - the excited dad began, slowly turning his gaze to me.
- Dad, I decided to take a walk and ran into the forest. And got lost. And there I met Katya. By the way, let me introduce you,” Andryusha pointed at me with his pen.
- Igor. Very nice. And who will you be, exactly? – the boy’s dad asked curiously.
I was ready to explain myself, but Andryusha interrupted me.
- Dad, I’m continuing. I got lost and met Katya. We walked a little, and she accompanied me home. So you were worried in vain.
Andrey secured his a short history a kiss given to dad. And I just stood there, lost, nodding my head in confirmation.
“Well, thank you very much, Katya,” Igor said affably. - We are very grateful. Maybe you can come to us for tea tomorrow afternoon? Surely you live nearby?
- Yes! Yes! Yes! - Andryusha answered for me.
I looked at the smiling child, which made my soul so happy, and said:
- Of course, of course I’ll come in. And you can.
For some reason I was shaking inside. The excitement in front of Igor and his sincere gaze took my breath away.
- That’s wonderful! We’re waiting for you... that is, you, forgive me,” said dad. Andryusha at that moment broke free from his embrace, ran up to me, pressed me, kissed me on the cheek and said in a cheerful voice:
- Katya, why did you throw your phone into a tree?
My surprise increased even more after this question. I was already confused for a moment, looking at Igor, who raised his left eyebrow in bewilderment. But without prolonging the silence, I answered the boy:
- Oh, ta... He was old. So I decided to destroy it, along with all the old memories, forever. But you better not do that, okay?
I gave Andryusha a gentle kiss on the forehead and winked at him.The next day, as I promised my new friends, I went to visit them with a fresh pie, which I had prepared in the morning with my mother. She managed to tell me a lot of things about this little family. She told me that Andryusha really lost his mother on the day of his birth, when she was only nineteen. And all his life his father took care of him, trying to provide his son with love and prosperity, as well as his grandmother, the mother of that girl. Igor himself was twenty-seven years old, he worked as a journalist in the capital's newspaper. And my mother also said that it’s been three years since he brought some girl Marina into the family, who rarely visits here in the village. I don’t know why, but hearing this news made my heart sad. Did I really hope that yesterday’s acquaintance would lead me to further developments? All this is my sick fantasy. Naivety is obviously ruining us.I also tried to find out from my mother whether Igor was sick with something. She was very surprised by my question and replied that she had never heard anything like that. I thought about this all the time while I was visiting. I was tormented by the thought that such a beautiful, at first glance, absolutely healthy person, may be seriously ill.With a load of thoughts, I finally got to the house of my friends. The weather was sunny today. But, alas, I was in for a huge disappointment. When I came to my new friends, it turned out that Igor and Andrey had left for Kyiv early in the morning. Granny And-ryushki only conveyed to me their deepest apologies and said that they urgently had to return to the city. Why, she never told me. And my heart at that moment became very worried. Is Igor really sick and left for Kyiv because everything is so bad? The cycle of thoughts did not give me peace.Leaving Grandma Andryusha with a fresh pie and my greetings, I returned home. The next day, important matters in the capital forced me, too, to leave the fabulous comfort of the village. In Kyiv, the most difficult operations awaited me at the clinic. Again worries, no peace. And dozens more messages on the answering machine from Seryozha. As soon as he tried to persuade me to forgive him, to understand him, to give him a chance. I barely resisted the temptation to smash my home phone into smithereens. Inside, there was a burning desire to destroy everything that reminded me of this traitor.The days flew by unnoticed. The weather alternated between sultry heat and the soft coolness of pleasant rain. And I kept thinking about how to return to the village for the weekend and finally find out something about Igor and his son. But apparently I’m not destined to. For three weeks in a row I came with hope and each time I lost it. Igor has disappeared. Granny refused to explain anything and all the time referred to the fact that he had business, work in Kyiv, and he could not break out of this captivity. But I didn't believe it. Andryusha’s words about some unknown illness of my father were deeply embedded in my head. I didn’t know him at all, but when I first met him, I felt a strong attraction that didn’t want to let me go. But as time passed, all disturbing thoughts quietly and calmly dissolved. The daily routine of hard work in the surgical clinic did not allow me to relax and go into my thoughts.Returning to my home apartment after another working day, I passed out instantly. I just went inside, dropped my bag and headed to the bedroom. I vaguely remember how my cat Rita purred above me, and my eyelids smoothly closed.The sharp ringing of my recently purchased mobile phone broke the sweetness of all my dreams. My limp body barely left the warm bed, pushing sleepy Rita aside. Through narrow eyes I could barely see the letters on the phone screen. And when I managed to see the name of the person who called at seven in the morning, my heart sensed something clearly wrong. Alexey Yurievich, the chief surgeon of our clinic, called.
– Good morning, Ekaterina Vasilievna. Sorry for bothering you so early. I know that you rightfully have a day off today, but we have problems at the clinic and urgently need your help.
The surgeon's voice sounded very serious and firm. I was seriously worried about what happened there.
- Hello, Ekaterina Vasilievna! Can you hear me? Do you hear?
“Yes, of course, Alexey Yuryevich,” I answered instantly. – I am completely perplexed. What's wrong with you?
“In an hour we will have a very complicated and urgent operation.” We simply cannot do without your professional help. Your colleague Irina is sick and cannot go to work. I have already ordered a taxi for you. Please come quickly.
- Certainly. I’m leaving right away, Alexey Yuryevich.
- Thank you. Waiting for you.
I quickly jumped out of the invitingly cozy bed and rushed to change clothes.
The taxi was already waiting at the entrance. Rushing through the summer streets of the capital, I imagined what a complex operation awaited me.And at 8 o’clock I arrived at the clinic. Alexey Yuryevich met me at the entrance and immediately began to explain the situation. We had a long operation to remove a cancerous tumor in the lungs. Heading to the operating room, I mentally braced myself, and various memories were spinning in my head. I didn’t understand why, but my first meeting with the little boy Andryushka, his wet hair, quiet forest and cool rain. And he was also haunted by the penetrating gaze of his father’s two warm blue eyes. Our acquaintance with him lasted only a couple of minutes, but his silhouette loomed in my imagination every day.Trying to shake off all unnecessary thoughts, Alexei Yuryevich and I entered the operating room. All my colleagues were only waiting for my presence to begin the operation. I greeted them and was ready to get to work when my heart almost stopped. Igor lay silently on the operating table. Its motionless pale face expressed some kind of calmness and tranquility that was far from me. Before my eyes, everything seemed to become dim and blurry with unexpected anxiety. Alexey Yuryevich, standing nearby, immediately noticed that something was wrong with me and, grabbing me by the arm, interrupted the general silence:
– Ekaterina Vasilievna, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling bad? I will take you away from here right away and find a replacement for you.
Having instantly recovered from this unexpected state, I was still able to pull myself together.
- Everything is fine. It's okay, don't worry. I'm ready for surgery. We can start.
The operation lasted four and a half hours. It was the longest, most unbearable and difficult four and a half hours of my life. I've never been so scared. I have never listened to the pulse of my heart, breaking into thousands of particles, for so long. It trembled and fought for the life of another person. With its loud beating, it generated incredible strength in me. My hands fought for Igor’s life. I would never forgive myself if I allowed myself to make the slightest mistake...Walking along the quiet corridor of the clinic on the third floor, I heard familiar voices, and tired eyes caught three silhouettes near the room where Igor was after the operation. “The operation was successful, don’t worry. I am sure that Igor will feel healthy and vigorous again very soon. He'll be all right now." It was the voice of Aleksey Yuryevich. Next to him stood dear Andryushka and his grandmother. The click of my heels interrupted their conversation. The boy, as soon as he saw and recognized me, rushed towards me with a loud exclamation of “Katya!” He ran up to me and hugged me tightly. The morning tension instantly subsided from my soul, and a wide smile stretched across my face. Igor’s mother-in-law and Alexey Yuryevich looked at us in great bewilderment.
- Kate? - Granny said in surprise. - How did you end up here? Who told you that Igor is in the clinic?
- What, you didn’t know? - Alexey Yuryevich intervened. – Ekaterina Vasilievna took an important part in Igor’s operation. And she should be greatly thanked for her efforts today. I apologize, dear ladies and Andryusha, but it’s time for me to get back to work. As for you, Ekaterina Vasilievna, with peace of mind I’m letting you go for a week to have a good rest and gain strength.Having said goodbye to us, Alexey Yuryevich has already hurried to the nurse who was calling him from the next room.
- Katya, is this true? - Grandma continued. – Are you really a surgeon? Why didn't you ever talk about this?
“And I knew, I knew about it.” And I believed that Katya would help us,” Andryusha jabbered cheerfully.
– Why didn’t you ever tell me what happened to Igor? Why did they keep it from me and make up all sorts of excuses? – I started indignantly. “If I had known about this earlier, I would have taken immediate action long ago.” If only you knew how anxious I was from the unknown.Granny fell silent for a few seconds, sadly lowering her gaze and gently hugging Andryushka to her. And then she quietly answered:
- Katenka, if only you knew how much we have been through. last month. How many examinations, how many worries, how many tears. I have never been so scared for my grandson. After all, we were so afraid that he might be left without his own father. After all, he never knew the happiness of seeing his mother. And if Igor had also been there... I don’t know what would have happened...
“That’s it, stop,” I interrupted her. – Please, I understand everything perfectly. Let's better go to his room. Just, Andryusha, don’t make noise. I am sure that even though he is unconscious now, he will still feel the presence of his loved ones and this will instill strength in him. And very soon he will forget about everything that happened. Everything will be fine. Believe. I kissed the boy and his grandmother on the cheek. They tried to persuade me to stay with them, and then invited me over for tea. In my heart, I passionately wanted to go into the room and again look at the sweetly sleeping Igor. But I didn’t want to disturb this family. I didn't know what to do with myself. I felt like I was a little superfluous there. And Igor’s fiancée, Marina, could also unexpectedly arrive. I wouldn't like to see her at all. I was surprised at myself, but it seemed that I was jealous of a person practically unknown to me. Remembering Marina, it was as if something pierced my heart and brought me longing.Having kindly refused the reservations to stay, I nevertheless went home, so as not to completely become limp. Having called a taxi, an hour later I found myself back in the same bed, still with the same floral blanket and still with the same purring Rita.The expanse of heaven spread out before my eyes. The sun's rays blinded with a bright radiance and burst through the cotton clouds into the quiet forest. I wandered along the path, enjoying the untouched nature and solitude. I decided to spend the entire week that Alexey Yuryevich gave me for rest, with my mother in the village. I wanted to again take a break from hard work, city life and immerse myself in my thoughts.Walking through the cozy forest, I remembered that rainy summer day when I met And-ryusha, all wet and huddled under a pine tree, when I met blue-eyed Igor...
And the sun kept nurturing me with its warmth, while my feet smoothly stepped in a spontaneous direction. Suddenly my gaze was caught by the remains of my former Nokia. I immediately remembered the whole outburst of anger that made me break the phone. And I remembered Seryozha. After the messages on the answering machine, there was no further news from him. But the pain is long gone. The anger is gone too. Only emptiness and the insignificant name Seryozha.I smoothly sank under another pine tree and closed my eyelids. A light breeze rushed past. I don’t remember how long I sat there, admiring the ideality of nature, but my peace was interrupted by some noise. I barely had time to open my eyes when I saw someone’s silhouette in front of me. I couldn't immediately because of the bright sun rays clearly see who it was. My heart began to beat faster. A smiling Igor stood in front of me. My surprise knew no bounds. I immediately contacted him:
- Igor? What are you doing here?
My voice seemed to be shaking.
“I’m looking for you,” he answered smiling. “You ran away from the clinic and didn’t even allow me to thank you.”
I was embarrassed. But she immediately tried to answer him confidently, without trembling in her voice:
“Sorry, but I didn’t want to disturb your family.” After all the difficulties that happened to you, you needed to stay with your loved ones. And I am just a doctor who has fulfilled her duty.
“And she helped save my life.” I don’t even want to imagine my son being left without a father. He has been through more than enough: lack of maternal attention, my illness, separation. No matter how life has hit us, we still try to stay strong.His inviting lips spread into a pleasant smile. I stood very close next to him, looked intently into his eyes and could not find the words to answer Igor’s last words. But he got ahead of me:
“You don’t need to say anything, Katya.” It is I who must thank you endlessly.
“Igor, that’s enough, you shouldn’t,” I contradicted.
- It should. And I’ll start thanking you with what I promised. We are now going to my place, where Andryushka is waiting for us, and a delicious pie with tea.
– Thank you very much, Igor. But with all my desire, I will probably stay here and refuse your enticing offer. Again, I wouldn't want to disturb your family. You probably all gathered there together: Andryushka, and his grandmother, and your fiancee. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'll feel a little awkward and...
- Katya, stop it. What do you mean awkward? You have done more for my family than anyone else. Yes, Andryushka and his grandmother are waiting for us at the house. But as for the bride... Then, most likely, you won’t see her.
– Didn’t she come with you? – I asked in surprise.
- No. And he won’t come,” Igor snapped firmly.
– She probably has a very serious job in the city, right? – I asked curiously.
- In her city it’s very serious relationship, which recently have not affected our family in any way. Let's not talk about this, okay?
I looked closely into his heavenly eyes and saw a bitter aftertaste there. To break this sad silence, I said, smiling:
– I really want to try your pie. After all, you and your son never tried mine, which I prepared for you that day that I was going to visit you.
“I’m sure you won’t have time to taste today’s pie if we don’t hurry.” Andryushka gobbles it up instantly.
We both filled this sunny day with big smiles.Igor slowly and gently took my hand in his and helped me up. He helped me get up from the ground and rise in life, realizing what difficulties sometimes fall on the shoulders of fragile people, and bestowing incredible happiness on my destiny.
Pages of love stories
It all started about six months ago. I'm in a conversation where I met a guy. At first we fought all the time. His sister was added to the conversation. Of course, I didn’t know about this yet. We started talking to this girl. She was a good friend. But then she told about her brother Seryozha (I quarreled with him). I liked it. I went to his page and liked his first photo.
Love Story: Nanny
As far as I can remember, I have always loved children very much, these amazing pure creatures, so different from adults. Everyone knows the legend that angel children in heaven choose their parents. But I believe that earthly, already born children also have such a gift.
As often happens, when you love something very much, fate, as if in mockery, deprives you of it. At the age of 19, a terrible car accident deprived me of both parents and the opportunity to have my own children. I had no one except my parents, no one. When I returned from the hospital to our empty apartment, I realized with horror that I was left completely alone.
After crying for a couple of weeks, I also realized such a banal thing that I have no money to live on. Job! That's what I need! Work will save me from this abyss of pain, from days within the walls of a dull apartment where grief has settled.
What could comfort me better than a child's laughter? I will work as a nanny!
