she was only 8 month old, my mum, brother and his wife, my oldest sister and her
husband who were our pilgrimage group’s tutors and about 20 other people. This
wasn’t simple tour but it was pilgrimage, trip by bus for more than 30 hours through
all Europe – from Latvia to Bosnia and Hercogovina. But we reached it successfully.

trip I knew that it’s impossible to go there with ID

decided that I can’t go without them, because
there was a problem to leave them with, also I
couldn’t imagine me without my children. But at
the morning my oldest sister called me and told
