During my wife’s childbirth, a terrible tragedy occurred. She couldn’t make it. She gave birth to two healthy girls, but she passed away. I couldn’t imagine how to live without her, how to endure such grief. But I didn’t have the luxury of grieving for long because I had two newborn girls in my arms, and I had to take paternity leave, which didn’t provide much income. I hardly slept in the first few months.

I learned to take care of the children, took on odd jobs, and tried my best to make ends meet. But we still didn’t have enough money. Then, I looked at myself in the mirror and was shocked. I hadn’t shaved in a long time, and I looked disheveled.

There were dark circles under my eyes, and I felt like I had aged ten years in just a few months. That’s when acquaintances suggested hiring a part-time nanny and gave me a phone number. I called, and a young woman named answered. She turned out to be not an older woman but a very attractive young lady.

I left my daughters with her and went to the barbershop. When I returned, my sleeping daughters awaited me, and the house was clean, something I hadn’t seen in a long time. I found a job and started calling Kateryna more often to look after my daughters. I noticed that she quickly bonded with the children.

It turned out that lost her parents at a young age and had been living with her younger sister at her aunt and uncle’s place. They had their own small children, so she had to learn how to take care of the kids. I became more and more attached to Kateryna, and when she wasn’t home on weekends, I found myself missing her deeply. Then I realized that I couldn’t help but think about her all the time.

Finally, when I started earning well and felt more confident, I confessed that I had feelings for her. She reciprocated, and that’s how our love story began. Now, my wife, she’s pregnant, and we’re expecting a boy. Soon, our family will have a new addition.
