My sixteen-year-old son brought a child home.

My name is Tatiana.

As reported: Fakta.today

I am forty years old.

I live in a village, fifty kilometers from the district center.

I had a complete family, but a few years ago, I became a widow.

At that time, my son, Dima, was only ten years old.

I had to raise him all by myself.

I did everything I could to raise my child to be kind and decent, and it worked.

After completing ninth grade, Dima entered a vocational school in the district.

He now lived there and only came home on weekends, and not every weekend.

My boy did well in his studies, but as it turned out, he had made a mess in his personal life.

After finishing his second year, my son had to come home for vacation to our village as usual.

Dima came suddenly, two weeks after graduation, and not alone.

When I opened the door early on a summer morning, I thought I was still asleep and dreaming.

Dima held an envelope with a newborn baby.

"Meet Victoria, Mom!"

"What do you mean? Whose child is this, son?"

"Mine. I'm sorry, Mom, I couldn't leave her at the hospital."

I felt like I was dreaming and still couldn't wake up.

I closed my eyes, shook my head a few times, and pinched myself just in case.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the same thing: my son gently holding his daughter and kissing her tiny nose.

"Dim, can you tell me what happened and where you got this girl from?"

"Of course."

My son began his story.

Right after entering the technical school, he met Arina.

She was in a different group, and Dima liked her.

Arina immediately seemed something special to my son; she didn't have fashionable clothes or vibrant makeup like other girls.

Soon, Dima found out that the girl was from an orphanage.

After a while, they started dating.

And then my son left for summer vacation.

When Dima returned in September, he found out that his girlfriend had committed suicide, afraid that he had left her.

And then, as proof of true love, Dima and Arina began a real adult relationship that soon turned into a pregnancy.

Dima was afraid to admit that they were getting married.

Together with Arina, they decided to wait until they turned eighteen to get married without asking anyone.

The child was supposed to be born in early June, just before the holidays.

But something unexpected happened: Arina died during childbirth.

It turned out she had a heart defect, and it was contraindicated for her to give birth.

Dima had to do the impossible to get custody of his daughter.

He literally spent the night under the windows of the maternity ward, making sure that the child wasn't sent to an orphanage but was given to him.

The director took pity on this unfortunate soul and helped him register the child under his name.

After hearing this sad story, I had no choice but to accept my granddaughter.

Dima switched to correspondence courses and started working on a farm in our village.

He loves his daughter very much and takes care of her.

I think he sees in her the qualities of the girl he loved.

This is how my son grew up decently.
