I suggest that I don’t have so a lot stories that really affected on me. So let me tell about the story from a childhood. That time I was a 7 years old boy. I was studying on my first class of the school. Who is my grandfather? Was in a house. That house is quite big. So in the center of the house, there is a green garden with a fountain near it. So there is also a chair or sofa. I don’t know what it was. I don’t remember really. So my grandpa was sitting in that sofa and I was just playing around him with the sticks, like a sword. And exactly that day my mom had a party with her friends, hosted something like gathering with her friends. I was just playing with my grandpa, he was just looking at me and watching what I’m saying, what I’m playing with. And at the one moment my grandpa just stopped the acting. When I looked at him, his back was, his head was moved back to the sofa and he was not answering me. I don’t really knew at times that something about death. I tried to call him two, three times and it didn’t help. And after it, I called my grandma and mother. There was such a panic. And then my mother said, your grandfather is just dead, died. After it I had like stress or locking into myself and really didn’t really talk to my friends, my classmates, my brother. I was only in contact with my parents. So, that’s all.

My grandfather was in a house. That house was quite big. In the center of the house, there was a green garden with a fountain near it. There was also a chair or sofa; I don't know what it was. I don't really remember. My grandpa was sitting on that sofa, and I was just playing around him with sticks, like a sword. On that day, my mom had a party with her friends, hosting a gathering. I was just playing with my grandpa; he was looking at me and watching what I was saying and what I was playing with. At one moment, my grandpa just stopped reacting. When I looked at him, his head had moved back against the sofa, and he was not answering me. I didn't really know at the time what death was. I tried to call him two or three times, and it didn't help. After that, I called my grandma and mother. There was such a panic. Then my mother said, 'Your grandfather has just died.' After that, I felt stressed and locked into myself and really didn't talk to my friends, my classmates, or my brother. I was only in contact with my parents. So, that's all.
