About my son



The loss of a son in war is an irreplaceable tragedy, a pain that pierces the heart and leaves an unhealed wound. Waves of anguish from the tragedy. It’s a grief that changes life forever, dividing it into “before” and “after.” Words are powerless to convey the depth of despair and sorrow experienced by a mother who has lost her child and a father who was unable to protect his son from death in war.

A son is hope, support, the continuation of the lineage. He is the person you nurture, raise, invest your soul in, dreaming of his happy future. And suddenly, in an instant, everything collapses. War mercilessly takes the lives of our young ones, cutting short all dreams and hopes.

Only memories remain. Memories of his first steps, first words, first successes. Memories of his smile, his voice, his embraces. These memories are the only connection to him, the only thing that remains in this world.

But along with the memories come waves of pain. The pain of realizing that you will never see him again, never hear his voice, never feel his embrace. The pain of knowing that he will never achieve his goals or live his life. These waves of memories come unexpectedly, and you feel like a small sailor on your tiny boat navigating them, struggling to stay afloat.

Surely, this pain should lessen over time. It dulls, but it will remain forever. It becomes part of me, part of my essence. Now I have to undergo a new learning process, to learn to live with it, but I will never forget my loss.

A mother who has lost her son in war is a hero. She has endured the most terrible thing that can happen in life. She finds the strength to go on living, despite the pain and despair. She preserves the memory of her son, passing it on to her children and grandchildren. She becomes a symbol of courage and resilience.

The memory of a son who died in war must live on forever. We must remember his contributions and his sacrifice. We must do everything to ensure that this never happens again. We must cherish peace and protect the life of every person.

P.S. While writing this text, I received a message that our dog, who loved Timur, passed away last night, crossing the Rainbow with him. On the day of my son's death, she fell ill, and on the third day, she died.

The Benefits of Blood Donation and the Donor Regimen

Image
My wife and I donate blood every six months. At least, that's how my wife has conditioned us, and she is right to do so because donating blood is not only a noble act but also an important medical procedure that brings significant benefits to both the donor and society as a whole. Blood is an invaluable resource necessary for treating numerous diseases, performing surgeries, and providing emergency assistance. In this article, we will discuss the main advantages of blood donation and key aspects of the donor regimen. The entire process, from registration to the actual donation, took about 30 minutes. We were also given a candy and lemonade to help replenish our glucose levels. Before the procedure, we naturally had a meal, and then we were ready to go. The blood draw isn’t painful. For those with trypanophobia, it's better to turn away at the moment the needle touches the skin and think about the fact that you are starting a cleansing process. Benefits of Blood Donation 1.

Music in Leonardo da Vinci's fresco The Last Supper. “One question - one answer” - is it possible to reach such a level?

Image
Music in Leonardo da Vinci’s Fresco "The Last Supper" Leonardo da Vinci’s fresco "The Last Supper," painted in the late 15th century, is one of the most famous and studied works in the history of art. The event depicted in this fresco—the final meal of Jesus Christ with his apostles before the crucifixion—is filled not only with drama and symbolism but also with a unique atmosphere that can be compared to music. Although the painting does not show musical instruments or produce any sounds, its inherent interactions and emotional depth invite us to consider what music might accompany this moment. Music as an Expression of Emotions The fresco demonstrates a complete range of emotions: surprise, anxiety, betrayal, and sorrow. At the center of the composition stands Jesus, who announces the betrayal of one of his disciples—Judas Iscariot. This moment can be characterized as a true symphony of human feelings. The music that could resonate at this moment would likely be c...

Long Live Music!

Throughout the history of humanity, nations have arisen, developed, and often been destroyed, leaving behind traces of pain and suffering. By nature, humans strive for unity, yet paradoxically, they also exhibit feelings of superiority and competition that simmer and lead to conflicts. Nations, instead of serving as places of unity and support, often become arsenals for weapons, symbols of enmity and division. Why does this happen? Why, possessing a common human essence, do we continue to remain divided? On one hand, each nation takes pride in its heritage, culture, and traditions. This is natural and even necessary — to feel a sense of belonging to something greater than oneself. However, this pride, transformed into nationalism, often leads to unfounded claims of superiority. The desire to protect one’s interests frequently turns into war, violence, and intolerance. We see how political ideologies and economic advantages become a priority, overshadowing the shared humanity of all peo...
