The Silent Angels

Hello Everyone!

I promise that today will be shorter than last time, because the previous blog was probably a bit too long, but I must admit that it is because the topic really interests me. So today I am going to tell you about another film, in my opinion very touching, "Silent Angels: The Rett syndrome story”. Be warned there are spoilers

It is a documentary about parents caring for their children with Rett syndrome. The film tells about the process of research into Rett syndrome and the subsequent stages of understanding this disorder. Shockingly, parents often waited many years to learn the name of the disorder that their child suffers from. One of the mothers waited 18 years for this moment and says that just knowing the name of the disorder was a relief for her and her husband. The most important story is that of a mother who, having two daughters, only had one who suffered from Rett Syndrome, or so she thought. She says that the second daughter may have been a bit shy and had learning difficulties, but she developed normally and when she was an adult she fell in love and got married. However, when she gave birth to a baby girl, a few months later she called her mother and asked her a question that terrified her: “How did my sister behave when she was little, what were the symptoms of Rett syndrome?”. It soon turned out that her daughter also had Rett syndrome. When she became pregnant again, it turned out that she would give birth to a boy. Unfortunately, it turned out that her son also suffered from this disorder and, despite the great will to fight, died after a few weeks.

I don't want to describe too much again, but there's one thing I think worth mentioning. Parents who raise children with Rett syndrome report that although they often do not speak, they know when their children are happy and see how delighted these children are with the world. They also often discover activities that give them the greatest joy and soothe them, such as ice skating, horseback riding or listening to music.

I highly recommend this movie.

Christmas disches

Hello  everyone !   I hope that the topic of Christmas has not bored you yet, because for today I have another interesting topic related to Christmas. And exactly food. I will tell you about what dishes we can most often find on Christmas Eve table and I will try to give you their meaning, symbolism.   As some of you may already know, there should be 12 dishes on the Christmas table according to tradition. The number 12 has many meanings, it can symbolize 12 apostles, 12 months of the year or 12 generations of Israel.    I will exchange 12 dishes for you, of course we can meet others in every home, as well as in other parts of Poland. That's why my list will be quite subjective.   mushroom soup    borscht (the soup made with beetroots) with “ uszka ”    fried carp    patties with cabbage    cabbage  with mushrooms    herring in oil   compote of dried fruits   Gree...

Majorca part 3

Obraz
Hello Everyone!   Today I'm going to finish telling you about Majorca.   The next day of our trip we had to get up early because we went to visit the caves:  the Caves of Drach . It cost us 13 euros per person, but it is worth spending t he  money. After walking 2km along the path for tourists located in the cave, you finally reach the underground lake. When the whole group gathers, the lights go out and a classical music concert begins on  the boats floating on  the lake.  It  only lasts 15 minutes, but it makes a great impression.  At the end of the day we went to one of the recommended beaches.   On Sunday (another day of vacation) we went to the beach which I liked the most from the whole trip. The beach is next to the town of  Alcudia , I've never seen such white sand and blue water in my life. Then we took the road full of bends to Cap de  Formentor , a beautiful viewpoint. And we ended the day in t...

Where and how to look for flights

Obraz
In today’s post we start to organize our journey. When the crazy idea of vacation comes into our minds, we need to think about where, how and when we want to go out into the world. That’s why today I will tell you how to search for flights on the Internet. My favorite and in my opinion the best flight search engine is Skyscanner. Here is the link for the page: https://www.skyscanner.pl . This search engine is very clear and easy to use. I sincerely recommend it. Its three biggest pros are: You can get a preview of whole month which allows you to compare flight prices on different days. You can also choose the cheapest month. You can choose a whole country as your start or destination.             After you click search, you get a list of cities sorted by price: As a destination you can choose 'Everywhere' (it’s my favorite function).             After we click search, we get a list of countries sorted by price: ...
