I think that each person perceives his relatives and friends in a special way. We look at them through the prism of relationships that have developed over the years. Sometimes, we do not always notice the changes that occur within the personality.
Sometimes it seems to me that she is still my little sister, whom I cared about since she was seven, but she is already an adult girl who herself is building her own life. Therefore, I so called this post: "Portrait of a familiar stranger. My sister Daria."
Daria is my cousin, but we grew up together like family. As I already wrote, in one of the previous posts, most of my childhood I was brought up by my grandfather and grandmother. It so happened that Daria grew up without a father, and my aunt, in order to provide the child, was forced to work in two jobs and often stayed late. Therefore, my grandmother and grandfather took care of me and Daria.
I, as an older sister, understood from an early age that I have a responsibility to care for, teach, protect and help my sister. I always took it with me wherever I went. Due to the fact that Daria played with children of my age who were older by about 7-9 years, she quickly developed and was much more intelligent than her peers.
I learned to read and write well long before I went to school. I remember we had our own big room, two beds, near each grandfather made us a lamp and every night, at night, we read something from a large home library. The love for reading has remained with Darya ever since. She is very fond of poetry and prose. Constantly tells me that he reads and tries to read something interesting. From the last that I read, after her admiring recommendations were "Azazel" and "Turkish gambit" of Boris Akunin.
It can be said that our childhood was not easy financially, because we could not afford much. But we were very happy, because we learned to appreciate relations in the family and supported each other.
Darya, taking into account all life circumstances, formed a strong character, she is persistent, persistent and knows how to achieve the goals. At the moment she is 21 years old and she already fully provides herself and helps to take care of her grandmother, as she lives next door.
Since childhood she has been inclined to drawing, and in adolescence she was very fond of it. Now it helps her in the work. She is a master of manicure.
She loves animals very much. I went out and saved more than one kitten. They have in the house, thanks to their aunt were constantly selected kittens, puppies, pigeons, crows and other living creatures. Daria is well done, she has learned a lot about treating animals and treating them. She repeatedly had to give injections and bandages to cats and cats. So she's a kind of volunteer for homeless animals.
Although Daria is very fond of animals, she is very afraid of spiders and at the sight of even a small representative of this species falls into a melancholic mood. So it was worth a lot of courage to take a picture at the exhibition with this yellow-black handsome man. Impressions were enough for a week :)))
It was very interesting for me to observe how it grew and formed and I, on my part, tried to invest in it, the best that I had and taught it myself, as best I could. Thanks to this, I myself grew up more sensitive, attentive and caring towards other people.
We now continue to closely communicate and often see each other. We try at least once a year to go somewhere together, especially at sea.
Very fond of organizing small photo sessions, which as a rule, are obtained from us spontaneously. We like to experiment and invent something.
Although time passes, we become more mature and life differently changes and shapes us, I very much hope and believe that we will never lose close relationships and will always be supportive and supportive to each other, as it was from childhood.
