Oh, how the soul aches… Words cannot express the bitter pain of having to leave our dearest ones – mum and dad – alone at home yet again. Like so many others, they were forced to leave their native Ukraine and move to Italy to be closer to us, their daughters. But in a foreign country, while we are at work, they are left on their own within unfamiliar walls, with no one even to exchange a word with. Their faces, weary with age and with longing for their homeland, are searching for comfort.
How lucky we are to have mum and dad close by, even far from home. Their old age is a gift not everyone receives. Why did God grant them this chance? Perhaps so that we could enjoy their wisdom all the more and learn from their experience and their love.
It is time to realise that our dear parents, now past retirement age, deserve a full and happy life, even far from home. Their hands, which once caressed us, and their eyes, which shone with pride at our achievements, now need our support. Let us help them take the first step towards a new life full of joy. Let us bring them together in a group where they can chat, make new friends, share their experience and feel needed.
Together, let us create a world full of warmth and care for our dearest ones, even in Italy. They gave us life, and we can give them a happy old age. It is the least we can do for those who devoted their best years to us.
