The first time Tanzilya got married before the war. But the happiness was short-lived. The husband was called to the front, from where he did not return. Their firstborn died in infancy. When the war ended, she was 49. No family, no children. But, as it turned out, the best years were ahead of her.
Soon the elderly Kazakh proposed to the widow. After the war, few of the young men returned to the village. And Tanzilya agreed. And at 53 she gave birth to a son. A year later - the second, and at the age of 57 she again became a mother.
All three sons are already pensioners themselves and live nearby. They, like everyone else in a big friendly family, are proud of their mother and, as soon as they have a free minute, they come to visit.

Surprisingly, Tanzilya's grandmother did not go to doctors until she was a hundred years old. She even gave birth at home. Only now, when she celebrated her centenary, her eyesight began to fall, she even had to be operated on.
According to Kazakh tradition, a woman lives in the family of her youngest son. She is looked after by her daughter-in-law. On the street Tanzilya no longer goes, but moves around the house and serves itself. She is always aware of all the events happening around. And very often he starts songs in his own language. Grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren consider grandmother to be a sorceress. And the sons still believe that love and a kiss from a mother heals better than any drugs.
