I
want to tell you about my grandparents, mother’s parents.
My grandmother’s name is Valentine Epina. She
was born in 1943. In
her family there were seven children, five of them died, because of
illness-scarlet fever. In family stayed two children- my grandma and her elder
brother Nicolai. Great grandfather died when grandma was three years old, so my
great grandmother Anna brought up children herself. The war time was hard. She
worked hard, but they starved.
When grandma was 16, she went to Tara to study in a technical college, but she did not
graduate it. She worked at our local hospital, now she is a pensioner.
My grandmother has two children - son Vladimir
and daughter Olga - my mother.
My grandfather’s name is Ilya Epin. He was
born in 1935 in
Perm. He was 6
when the World War 2 began. He lost his mother and his father married again.
Grandmother and grandfather brought him up.
When grandpa was 18, he went for an army.
When
he came back, he married for the first time. From this marriage my grandpa has
a son Evgeni. Now we know nothing about him.
My grandpa has been living for 10 years in
town called Bereznyaki and worked on factory. Then he studied a welder and went
to Gor’kovskoe. Here he married my grandma and this year there will be 25 years
of their marriage. I love them so much and want them to live together for a
long time.
