Her daughter, grandmother Valya, told me about my great-grandmother Maria. Great-grandmother died when she was 89 years old. She was a very kind and sympathetic person, she treated people, despite the fact that she herself lost her sight.
Great-grandmother Maria lived in the village since childhood and was very well versed in herbs and various conspiracies. And her eyesight was lost when she treated one blind old man.
As a result, he began to see, but the great-grandmother, on the contrary, stopped. Many in the village said that it was her God who punished her for witchcraft. But the great-grandmother replied that although she could not see now, she could hear what others did not hear.
She helped everyone and warned relatives, neighbors or acquaintances about good or bad, what they were about to face.
When my dad (Maria's grandson) said that he decided to marry, she exclaimed:
- What gorgeous black hair your bride has!
And it really was like this: the hair of my future mother could be envied.
During the wedding, the great-grandmother predicted that the young would live happily - but not more than 10 years. Indeed, after 10 years my mom and dad divorced.

I was named after my great-grandmother - Maria. At the age of twelve or thirteen, I had a dream that I was sitting on a park bench, and a thin old woman with a wand came up to me. Is talking:
- Maria - what a beautiful name!
But I didn’t tell her what my name was!
The old woman continued the conversation:
- But the bones of these girls are weak.
In the morning I woke up, I had to go to an athletics competition, I was running cross-country. I remembered my dream only when I fell and I was taken to the hospital with a broken leg. When I told the dream to my grandmother and mother, they unanimously said that I saw my great-grandmother Masha. I was shown a photo of her - it was an old lady from my dream!
After some time, I suddenly dreamed of my great-grandmother, standing in a snowdrift. And in the morning a snowball fell on my head from the roof - it's good that everything worked out in the end.
Now I understand that if something is destined to happen to me, my great-grandmother will warn me in a dream. Whether it is mysticism or not is up to you.
