In 1950, the year the first of June was first celebrated international children’s day. It took 70 years, but the need for protection has disappeared. And even fewer, although the meaning of this word has acquired a slightly different meaning.
a Couple of weeks ago told me one simple story.
single mom single-handedly raised her son. Nothing surprising in this. Like that single mom raising a son with a disability.
Raised as expected: went with him to the doctors Yes, for hospitals, went out for the funds using embossing, nursed after another surgery, and during the break worked in the office, where he was a nurse. Because nurses in the Department are not always enough, and single mothers with a disabled child usually do not have enough money.
would Live probably happily ever after, but there was one circumstance: a mother raised her son with the famous but fatal diagnosis. That is what they did not go to the doctors and funds, the final was known for both. And pretty close the final.
One day they came home with another examination, the mother I asked: “what do you dream About?” It may, of course, not right and not exactly these words, the narrator for the accuracy not vouched. But the meaning was transmitted accurately.
“I dream about hotel” — without hesitation replied the son.
Probably (history is silent about it) I was surprised by both: the son, his dream, and mother of what he is thinking about something else, in addition to a miracle happened and he recovered. Or at least that he felt a little better.
anyway, the question was asked, the response is received, and mom began to think. On the one hand it was possible to continue the treatment, or rather maintenance therapy, because doctors gave a disappointing Outlook. On the other if I wassatsa help the second time no one will offer. Third — where to take money on a dream. In short, which side do not look the hotel looked bad.
it was Good only one thing — that her son have any other desires in addition to sick leave. And the thought mom clung with all his strength. Because for my mother most importantly — could make a dream of her child was. To help him, to defend its interests.
Any other protection of the child provided by the Family code of the Russian Federation, but there is a subtext, intonation of this word acquire a formal and dramatic color. And my mother’s is to protect. That is, to treat childhood dreams, challenges, loves and disappointments carefully, with care, quietly guard, leaving free.
This real Maskim qualities, by the way, in the last months of isolation began to learn many parents. Unexpectedly for themselves, they began to hear and understand children before they did not have enough time. And families are now emerging a new type of relationship — solidarity against the common ills and the desire to protect, to protect children from the terrible disease. Although it is difficult to call it truly new: still in primitive society, parents have banded together to protect themselves from the threat.
It would be a lie even for the sake of the children’s Day to say that all parents have changed, and now all the family heal happy life. It is important that the thousand families had a desire to see, to notice relatives and attitude to protect them. To protect always.
as to our history, mother managed to sell the apartment, take out a loan and started a small gostinicu in a small town. Money is “the dream” brings, but it brings great joy to both the mother and the son.
Which, thanks to genuine protection, survived all the doctors.
