I would like to dedicate this essay to my family. I knew my bloodline pretty badly, so my goal was to learn it better. I asked my mother, father, grandmother and grandfather about their lives and about my relatives. Combining all the stories, I was able to imagine my whole big family. First I want to tell you about my grandfather. My dad's father. His name is Peter Nikolaevich and he was born during the war. It was a difficult time for his whole family. Once he was a little older, I began to help my mother. After that time, father Nicholas left for the front. Grandpa used to say how much he missed dad. In wartime, there was little food at home, and my grandfather was a skinny teenager at the time. Grandpa told me that mommy went to the plant, which manufactured ammunition for the military. After that, he started walking with her. It was very difficult and hard work. He still lacked food, and he stopped growing altogether. This went on for several years. But, the war ended and the situation in the family began to improve, the head of the family returned home. Grandpa was very happy about it. Then my grandfather told me about the most beautiful time in his life, which he said is still going on. He told me about the meeting with his wife, my grandmother. Grandpa said she was as beautiful as she is now. He loves her. I want to tell a little about my beloved grandmother Lyudmila Dmitrievna. She was born in a large family, and was the oldest. All of her family at that time lived in the village. My grandmother had two sisters and a little brother. As my grandmother said, her mother and father worked all day. My mother worked in a shop and harvested, and my father on a tractor in the field. Since the grandmother was the most adult, she was left to watch her brother and sisters. In addition, she cleaned the house, cooked food and watched the house. Grandma said life was hard, but she didn't complain. Then they met my grandfather and moved to the city. Well, then, my father was born. I have a big family, and everyone has their own interesting life story. I am proud of my ancestors, because some of them went through the war. Thanks to them, I'm safe now. I love my family very much!
