October 25 - November 1, 2022. Days 244 - 251 of war.
During these days my parents moved from a temporary place to a little more permanent place. Mom is collecting leaves, pine cones, and sticks and taking photos. She finds lots of interesting plants on her walks and tells me about them. Dad bravely started to swim. And he is working with the photo archives to support Mom's memoir-writing.
Their days start and end with getting in touch with relatives and friends, with everyone who is in Ukraine at the moment. I think this is true for all Ukrainians around the globe these days. They are still checking air raid warnings but not as often. The most important topics are how to get backup plans for power and heating. Also - how people are supporting each other and the country. But we are also receiving some amazing photos of a beautiful fall - in Kharkiv in particular.
