When Apricot Blooms

People and lives… Before, I did not pay attention to the meaning of these simple words. I did not really grasp their deep sense. Later, with all the complications of my life, I became a little more aware of the meaning of similar words.

Yes, a little more… You cannot really say that you learned all the life’s secrets. Therefore, they rightly say that “to live a life is not to cross a field.”

And our life was filled with spring hopes and desires for better life. You can compare these unforgettable days of youth with the season when apricot blooms…

On one of these spring days, I met a guy, a respectful and open man. My heart pumped with excitement and I understood that this was my destiny. So it happened. One month had not passed, when we had our wedding. There were times of happiness and joy.

We created a family and had a child. My husband became well known among people as a respected public servant. Friends and acquaintances became proud of his name, Azat Mashurov. His life became an example for followers.

However, how short and how difficult was his life. Spring season of apricot bloom very quickly turned into period of fall, when leaves turned yellow… These memoirs are based on the short but full of life past.

To start these memoirs, maybe, it would be right to begin with the story of Azat’s older sister – Patam-hada, which tells you about his harsh childhood.
