We all stood there, we were equal. I didn't even have time to get old
She was the oldest in the printery team. She worked there until she was 70. Of course, she was the second mother to many.
We all went there, we were equal. I didn’t even have time to get old.
She was also popular with her boss and accepted her as a tribal employee instead of the brigade she originally signed up for as a fresh pensioner. Ms. Milka still had a lot of enthusiasm for her work, and she had been working for thirty years in cotton factories and eight years in the production of seats.
She married for the second time at the age of 54, and she and her husband have been together for thirty-one years. He’s a piece of gold.
Summer is spent with her husband in Drietome at the cabin. The man went there now, Mrs. Milka stayed home because she had to wash.
Milka loves singing and dancing. In her youth, she even won an audition for SĽUK, but the family had nothing to support it with. She also liked sports, running and jumping far away. They don’t go dancing today because age doesn’t fool people. Singing, however, will sing a song, especially folklore and breath music.
Milka’s family comes first. He compliments us with family photos, shows his wedding and finally adds a picture of his grandson Janko, who was elected the most beautiful man in Europe in 2018. The sad news for all the girls is already married.
