“I think I am in my last days, but it doesn't really matter because I have had such a beautiful life.Â I have lived through many wars and have lost everything many times - including my husband, my mother and my beloved son.Â Yet, life is beautiful, and I have so much to learn and enjoy.Â I have no space nor time for pessimism and hate.Â Life is beautiful, love is beautiful, nature and music are beautiful.Â Everything we experience is a gift, a present we should cherish and pass on to those we love.”
