To glance into Iryny's eyes"It hurts in my knee", - once Iryny told after walk. Poor thing, kisses - children often fall. But when the girl again complained on pain in her knee parents had begun to worry. Why? In less than a month the truth - such bitter, sharp, terrible - has sounded.Osteosarcoma of the left thigh bone. And if easier - cancer. Does it happen to our child? To our?... To our... " We did not live on these first days, - Iryny's daddy says, Roman Mykoliv - but simply shivered. From grief and despair. " And Iryny is such a beauty. Her eyes are the eastern story-teller Shaherezda's eyes. And there is something sensible and grown-up in her sight. And what is more - faith. Children's confidence that daddy and mum can do everything. Yes, I am ill, but you, my big and kind magicians, and all all the best, that are in this world, will think up something! You can do, I know. And they are overcoming themselves. Who needs their tears? They appael to people because she is their girl. Searching for rescue. Because only two of them know all about her - from the first push in mom's tummy till that day when as a verdict," It hurts in my knee " has sounded. And so it is necessary for them that their girl has someday given birth to her own girl. Or a boy. "I shall not be a model, - Iryny says all the time. - Clothes design is much more interesting". In a minute she finds herself in the world where there live unusual dresses, jackets and blouses. And all these things start to appear on a paper (drawing is Iryny's hobby). Yet not asleep she dresses up her younger sister Anny. Her masterpiece is made of blanket and ribbons. But how cute it is! ...She is a child. And how should her parents feel? In Ukraine Iryny can't be cured. And just now in Israel to get chemotherapy, do an operation and rehabilitate the child, it is necessary... 150 thousand dollars. Such a ridiculous sum. Unreal for usual Ukrainian family. But the parents have faith - it does know no bounds. That's why people who have a heart and concern and love in it - all of them will understand everything without any words. And if you think that it'll never happen to your child, let for a moment close your eyes and see... A smiling beautiful girl with hair which as a raincoat cover her... And in some days it will fall down because of the chemotherapy which rescues children's life. |
