    Those Babushkas... I love them

    These old ladies made me cry and laugh and made me feel that warmth inside my heart I felt every time I visited my grandma. Those ladies are wild and brave and crazy (in a good way) and that makes me feel love towards them. They are also a great example for us, the young generations. They made the impossible to get back to their homes and are making the impossible possible by living there despite the risks. That is a True spirit. And I wish one day I could visit them.
