Vitaly Semenovich and Natalya Petrovna Gerasimov have been friends since elementary school. We played, talked, and then met. After a while, Vitaly and Natalya realized that they were created for each other. It happened when they were 38 years old. They got married and decided to tie the marriage together forever. In the same year, they had a son, whom they named Alyosha.
The spouses were united not only by love, but also by common interests - music. Vitaly Semenovich worked as a music teacher at school, instilled in children an interest in classical music, took them on trips around the country, showing monuments and talking about works of art.
Natalya Petrovna was the director of a children's music school in Saratov. More than two hundred children studied music under the patronage of Natalia Gerasimova.
Vitaly and Natalya Gerasimovs have been happily married for twenty years. Their son grew up as a handsome guy, entered the university. Mother and father considered themselves the happiest people in the world. One day, everything changed dramatically. On October 8, Alyosha leaned too far out of the window of a speeding train and a post broke his head. Alyosha was only 22.
The life of the Gerasimovs seemed to have stopped. It became unbearable to live in the old apartment - every little thing there reminded of her son. The Gerasimovs moved to another district of Saratov.
Having lost their son, Vitaly Semenovich and Natalya Petrovna became even warmer towards each other. Their new home was always open to guests, and they always tried to help those in need.
Once the Gerasimovs noticed a strange pattern in their lives. The couple drew attention to the fact that in their life the number 38 was encountered several times. In 1943, Vitaly Semyonovich's father died at the age of 38. In the same year, at the age of 38, Natalya Petrovna's mother died. The Gerasimovs got married when they were 38. In 2012, the couple waited with particular anxiety, this year they should have turned 76 years old, and this - twice 38. In the same 2012, 38 years have passed since their wedding and birth of Alyosha.
The fears of the Gerasimovs were not in vain. In October 2012, Natalya Petrovna suddenly became ill. The ambulance took her to the intensive care unit. To his horror, Vitaly Semenovich suddenly realized that Natalya became ill on October 8. Their son died that day!

- This day will kill her! - the desperate Vitaly Semenovich lamented. “I'm afraid she won't make it through the day.
On October 8, he asked the doctors to let him see his wife so that she would not be left alone. The doctors were adamant.
“You can't go to the intensive care unit,” they answered.
On the evening of October 8, he became a widower. Vitaly Semenovich did not escape the magic of the fatal number. The news of his wife's death led to a heart attack.
