It is very heart touching story. It reminded me my own experience my own impressions of childhood. In the soviet union all families had almost the same conditions of living. That is why my own remembrances are so close to your's. You didn't say about New Years holiday. About our winter funs. About many exciting things that i like till now. Thanks for this wonderful voyage by the ship of memories. I hope to see next parts. And you are very lucky! Your parents are realy outstanding. Especially, your dad Hive account@rarog!
