First I thought that you were Jehovah's people, but then I saw the sign Trenčin and I thought it might not be. I was just waiting for it to happen. Something like that hasn't happened to me. It was a very nice surprise and I don't know if I deserve it at all

First I thought that you were Jehovah's people, but then I saw the sign Trenčin and I thought it might not be. I was just waiting for it to happen. Something like that hasn't happened to me. It was a very nice surprise and I don't know if I deserve it at all
Ms. Zdenka lives in a pink apartment under Sokolicami. We haven’t been looking long. When we rang the bell, she welcomed us pleasantly surprised by her household clothes, but she quickly went to the gala and invited us further. We were greeted at the door by a two – year – old bitch named Civi, who is called Kivi. It should be added that the American Stafordhízsky terrier is a temperamental breed, literally on a spring. How much easier it is to lose Zdenka, the harder it is to leave her. Zdenka told us about her joys and concerns. It’s not easy, but it does help everyone it can. Especially a neighbor who moved in from Kyjiv with three children just before Christmas.
That’s where the bombs fell on us, where we got the amazing neighbors, he says. Yulia’s gratitude knows no bounds, and it can be seen in tears that shine in her eyes every time she talks about how the Fraňovci help her, but also in a voice that trembles in remembrance of what circumstances she had to flee from Kyjiv and what a pleasant home she and her children found here.
The Fraňovs invited them on Christmas Eve to celebrate the New Year. They got what they knew, whether it was a TV or a bike, so the new neighbors could feel the best. According to Zdenka, every person will be able to help others at birth, but not everyone will. Her husband adds that helping is rare, but at the same time it should be self – evident.
Zdenka promised us nominations for the next day. Instead, she prepared us a large bag of sweets to pass them on. You can’t leave Zdenka after 20 minutes. You don’t even know how to talk. We finally got nominations on the third try. She wanted them tip-top. Even then, we would like to be settled and entertained, but this time we already rushed to another meeting. Every next award in Zdenka’s nomination line gets her chocolate candy.
In the evening after our meeting with Zdenka, we read such beautiful news:
♦Thank you very much and also your colleagues for the wonderful moments spent with you. It was a great honor to meet you. Thanks to you, I experienced something indescribably beautiful. This project is something amazing and I don’t see you as a sect anymore, but as blue angels of TN.♦
