Natalya Antonenko, the wife of Vitaly Kirkach-Antonenko, a defender who died at the front, published a photo of her daughter Vitalina. Born in May 2023, the girl closely resembles her father.
Natalya posted a corresponding message on her Facebook page. The woman called on parents who may be with their children during the war to appreciate these moments.
“Our daughter is incredibly similar to you, my beloved Vitasik! Look and smile, character, laughter... I couldn’t even hope for such a miracle, but she’s almost a complete copy of you,” Natalya wrote.
It is worth noting that earlier in the message about the death of her husband, the wife wrote about her unborn daughter as if she knew that the child would look like his dad: “I hope in six months he will be born and look at me with his kind and gentle parental eyes.”
“I am raising our Vitalina as you dreamed. Everything you planned, I do for her, and she grows up cheerful, smart and smart. Thank you for this miracle - to take care of your continuation in this world,” added Natalya.
The woman also urged parents to value the time spent with their children. “All dads who can hug their children during war, appreciate these moments. There are families next to you whose children will never be able to feel this happiness - to be close, or to see their own father at least once in their lives.”
