Awesome Andreij

Welcome home son. We're happy to see you very happy in your Spiritual Recollection. Let the Holy Spirit shine on you. Always look at the good things in life and never dwell on what keeps your head down. If you keep your head down, you'll miss the blessings. God is placing great opportunities and graces in your life. Pause and appreciate them.

Our biggest wish for you son is that you are and will always be happy and comfortable
with your choices in life.

Always remember Daddy and Mommy love you so dearly, I know we have told you this every day since you were a little boy, but I hope now you appreciate just how much we do love you the way your age can understand love in many ways.

We are very proud of you for being such a responsible young teen and we are looking forward to a successful man you will become, I know you are strong and you have great morals, values, and principles, something we hope we have instilled in you.

We hope you have listened to us when we said you should get a good education, this way you have more choices in life. We also know it might have sounded like a lecture whenever we went on about how a good education can help you in life. We also told you that you could be anything you wanted to be. We hope you will choose wisely and will always be happy with life.

On all the occasions we moaned at you to tidy your room, to wash the dishes, to take out the bins and to take the dog for a walk it was for a reason, I hope you see that now and I hope you know that these little chores were teaching the value of working together and being a part of the family.

I hope you have forgiven Daddy and Mommy for all the times we sent you to your room, without TV or the play station, for telling little lies, breaking our house rules, breaking good manners and values. We know now that you will realize that telling the truth is a great strength, it can be hard, but ultimately it’s what separates the men from the boys. Telling the truth can be hard sometimes, as you’ll now know, and you will probably know that it’s the right thing to do, always. If you have told the truth with tact and diplomacy so much the better as long as it’s the truth.

Treating people how you would like to be treated is something we know you were always good at and something we so much wanted to instill in you. we hope you have carried this through your life.

We always taught you to work smarter than the next person, not necessarily harder but smarter. You were always intelligent, always thinking ahead, even the day I first brought you in swimming class.

We know you will have come across irritating people in your life and some stupid people; however, We hope you did not sacrifice your integrity by making yourself look good at the expense of others.

Remember the time we used to talk about many stories and also playing "Harutan" together in bed until you get tired and fell asleep, those are some of our best memories. The time when you thought you couldn’t jump off the big pool, I was proud of you when you left your fear behind and jumped; it set you up to do so much more. The time when you learned to swim a breadth of the pool, your face was a picture.

We pray that you learned to be comfortable with yourself and learned to like yourself for who you are and not let others manipulate you. You were always funny in your own little antics, always laughing at our jokes, caring , loving and loyal. We always love those traits about you.

Our biggest wish for you son is that you are and will always be happy and comfortable with your choices in life.

We love you, as always.

Daddy and Mommy

Long way to go son!

Learn to appreciate what you have,
before time makes you appreciate what you had.

Time is precious, waste it wisely.

Not everything is meant to last forever, so enjoy every moment as it happens.

GOD always gives his best to those who leave the choice with him.
(In this picture: 14 years old Andreij )

When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, so when you are safe and happy, remember that someone is praying for you.
