they came here and they tour and they liked me thanks changed numbers then became friends and i told dad i don't know what's going to happen next. for the priest the most important thing is that his daughter's fiance is a good man christina's husband is a policeman she was studying to become an accountant to norm berg which is where she met her spouse. i don't my father that i have met a guy and he's had he wanted to meet him to. go to acquainted with said that he's a good guy and we can be friends and so on this is nice chance of gay basically it was a man who got married. he was the next one. the girls love looking at wedding pictures hanging in the house as well as those of all seventy children who all call this the dembski used their father and mother.
2:46 am
the parents mens to look out for the first group of children themselves but as the family grew they had to hire people to help them. the mother could not cope with washing diapers for three dozen babies and checking the homework of twenty schoolchildren but like all parents this dembski is trying to spend all their free time together with their children. basically i was my mother's favorite shows holding mean her arms all the time can you see me in her arms in the pictures and here i am in her arms too she was holding me all the time. little by little the day to day lives of the children have changed before it was the mother who put everyone to bed now the older sisters are in charge of the task it's also their responsibility to look after the little ones. it takes four shots to cope with the family a lot of food is needed as the children can eat their way through one hundred fifty
2:47 am
kilograms of potatoes in just three days but the children always help in the kitchen it's very important for them to know where food comes from and an orphanage children don't even know how to make friday since they only see cook dishes. children come and get your pies. father nikolai's sometimes drops by to see if everything is fine now it is he has very little time to do so. with. first children got a lot of our attention we spent all the time together with them we took them to try everywhere we went to the but. they received lots of our attention i would be biological parents sometimes give less care to their kids than we did. but with the kids that we have now lu situation is somewhat different. perhaps because we have
2:48 am
grown older. at first glance it may seem that life for the children here is no different than in a good orphanage. what makes the difference is that they feel protected they don't want to leave this place and they don't ask me to pass them to another family this is the best sign that they feel protected. if they were different from an orphanage even know when i married my father calls me to ask how my kids and i are doing my children treat him as their grandfather and. in addition then bought us a house which is never the case that often injures one with. he helps us as any normal parent but he's got too many children. the priest knows that one day many of them will ask him for a blessing of guidance. here i just want to know why they abandon me.
2:49 am
sooner or later almost everyone of the children will wonder why they were abandoned and try to find out who their birth parents are. she was at home when i arrived. i said her maiden name and she confirmed that it was her i said making him sure remembered a certain person the name of the date she said yes so i told her i was his son but she said i wasn't what i said was that strange it's me on the look at my birthday to. but she kept on saying i was not her son so that's the kind of conversation we've had with the record although she doesn't want me of course i'm not going to thrust myself on the i do have parents here they are my dad and my mom that's all i need. my mother in the right she knows that i leave here and she knew that i had been
2:50 am
taken to select ash. near me i don't carry steen about her. and she doesn't want me if shit bend in me when i look for her. i have the parents who took care of me and my childhood newell's lose the little and they take care of me of a now. but they can still help me even though i am an adult of them and i have my own family. nowadays they all gather together for big holidays like christmas not just the children but the children's children too. it. is at least

2:52 am
are you crying divied. the children know their father supports them and that miracles do happen ask and it shall be given seek and you will find knock and it shall be opened onto you. for instance an ordinary person won't feel very doubtful about building a church you would saying he had no money or other resources and he wouldn't cope with the task but as for him he doesn't think he's going to do it he simply does it he's not afraid of anything. home. father nicholai had a parish without a church good he managed to found an orthodox town he had no children if he became the father of a very large family. i always want this house to be full of children this is my dream what used to maybe

my son nikolai will be able to do it more i must raise a successor who can continue what i've been doing for the dog to children. he told me that will be his successor he's always saying that to the guests. nikolai is eleven now his father often takes them along on trips like to moscow once as they were traveling he told his son what happened to him on the border with afghanistan in the one nine hundred eighty five. during a skirmish she was hit by a bullet which broke his stores but saved a. school stirred was upset because the cross was broken. so he put it on the table and went away. but later when he came back and like. he saw that the cross was really as good as new.
2:54 am
