The Flowers of Our Life

As you’ve probably guessed from the title, this book is about the most precious thing we have—our children. Almost all women consider the birth of children the main and happiest event of their lives. Because everything—lack of sleep, arguments with the husband, suffering over an ruined figure—is nothing compared to the happiness when an adult son says, “Mom, I love you.” Or when he mentions a girl he likes very casually: “And she looks a lot like you.” Or with pride, when the grown-up daughter shares her secrets with you, and you recognize yourself in her—so romantic, so confident, and ahead of her lies only happiness. I sincerely wish you, my readers, that this premonition of happiness never leaves you. And don’t be afraid of difficulties—they can be overcome when you know what they are for.
