Спасибо, что священники does not intend to arrive at the hospital. Подарки — it's hot, it's not glaring, it's about to come and go говорят с ними.

It is good that they listen to the boys and talk to them. They also brought gifts, but they need to talk more now.

Lenka Svobodová

Yes, I agree with Camille. The gifts are nice, but the most important thing is that the priests come and just talk to the guys. It lifts one's spirits more than anything else in the hospital.

I agree, Salome, the conversation is really more important now than the gift. Our boys often just need someone who will listen and not shy away from the topic. Maybe they should come again and just talk to them?

Marek Dvořák

You're right, Lenka, the conversations in the hospital really help the most. I once saw how our father said after such a visit that the soldier himself started to tell him about his family and he felt relieved. What do you think, are such meetings once in a while enough, or should they go more often?

You are right, Irakli, a conversation often means more than a gift. My uncle, who returned from the war in Abkhazia, said for years that it was easier when someone just listened and didn't take his eyes off him. What do you think would be the best conversation for them?

You're right, Irakli, a simple listen sometimes does more than a gift. When I travel in the mountains, I often see how a man's face changes when you just share an ordinary story and do not run away from his pain. What topics would you say would be most helpful for them to talk about right now?

You're right Nicholas, chilling in the mountains and sharing a simple story sometimes makes more of a difference than the nicest gift. I think now it would be most useful for them to talk about family, home news and how they are waiting at home. What do you think, what topic came up most often at such a time?

ალექსანდრე დოლიძე

You're right, Anna, family news really comes out most often - who cooks what at home, how the children are growing up. And more often, I ask them what they want when they return, so that I can then pass it on to their families. Do you often meet such men?

You're right, Nicholas, at home I often see how children's faces change when I just listen to their stories. I think it would be most helpful to talk about how fathers have overcome small difficulties in the past - it would give them hope. What story do you share most often in the mountains?
