Dear Sharon,

We came back to Krakow ten days ago, and since then we are ill. Adaptation back in Poland was awful. We were at home for two full weeks, between the shellings. It seemed that we can be used to everything. But we cannot be used to leave home, again and again.

Now Yaroslava has a terrible ear ache, but now I finally give her proper medicine, so it would be better soon.

You are right, this week would be one year from the that terrible day of 24th of February. Psychologists aware us about the anniversary syndrome. We became nervous and stressed even more than every day. But today we all are glad about Mr Biden's visit of Kyiv. It was a big secret and surprise, and also it was very vital and hopeful. Thank you the support of your country's government 

Good news! I had my new children book published in Poland, in two languages, Ukrainian and Polish. It is about one kitty which had lost in the evaluation train. It is funny, though it is about our experience of evacuation from Kyiv.

Now I want to write a book for grownups, sometimes I will do.

Yours sincerely,

Olha
