Mishiko crawls on the floor and makes strange sounds… He is stopped by his 7-year-old brother Gela. He is afraid that Mishiko will hurt his hand again on the rotten and cracked floorboards. Mishiko screams louder and tries to crawl away from his brother, who is desperately trying to hold him back. They are alone at home. “Dad went to buy bread, and mom is in heaven,” says Gela.

“I feel neither good, nor bad. I feel nothing. My only son and husband lie motionless in the cold earth of the cemetery… and here I am within these four walls,” whispers Grandma Lamara barely audibly, wiping her dry eyes. Not a single tear has been left in 17 years – she’s cried it all out. She cries, crying from within, shrouded in darkness. She wants to die, to be near those she has lost, but death seems to avoid her, and condemns her to endless torment.

Mariam is sick with all the diseases of the world! There isn’t a single healthy spot on the small, tormented body of this unfortunate child! She was born with multiple diseases: everything hurts the girl! Her liver was located in the intestine, she has multiple heart defects, an open arterial duct, urinary tract infection, pneumonia, multiple rib fractures… She spent 6 months in the intensive care unit. She fought for her life, battled with death, and survived. Her mother was told that the girl is under God’s protection because children like her usually never survive.

If you want to curse a man, just tell him: “I wish your children were sick. And that’s it – he’ll be the most miserable person on the planet. “I don’t know how I find the strength to live, how I manage not to go crazy.” I think God gives strength to mothers who have sick children. I have two sons and both are sick. Gabriel, 5, and Lasha-Giorgi, 18-month-old. Gabriel has cerebral palsy – he can’t move or do anything on his own. Every month we lie in the hospital or in a rehabilitation center, and Lasha-Giorgi, a martyr, has been in an intensive care unit since birth, hooked up to machines. I haven’t even taken him in my arms, haven’t hugged him. He probably thinks he doesn’t have a mother.”

“If I die today, my grandson will die tomorrow, or maybe he will be buried alive with me, because nobody wants him but me! Nobody wants him… his mother left him, and his father left him. They left their sick child and found happiness elsewhere” – says Malardo and hides her eyes. She is ashamed for Soso’s mother and the father. Who needs a sick man? And they are still young, they can give birth to new and healthy children!

I do not ask for myself because this is not life! But why should people I love so much suffer with me?! God help me!!!

Talks about mom end with tears. 5-year-old Anna-Maria and 10-year-old Giorgi recently lost their mother. “She cried a lot, coughed a lot, and then flew to the sky,” says Anano. She is sure that it was her mother who asked us to come to their family. “She sent you to us. Will you tell her that we miss her very much? And if I draw a picture, will you give it to her?”

Giorgi (12-year-old): You know, Mate sometimes has a nosebleed or starts to choke. I’m so afraid of this. He cannot play ball for a long time – he says that everything hurts him. Mate (9-year-old): Yes, it hurts here (points to his stomach). And mom sometimes falls to the floor and starts to twitch.

When I went to the Tsetskhladze family to interview them, I did not expect that, in addition to hunger and cold, I would literally have to look death in the eye. One careless step may become the last one, and these words are not just an exaggeration. To get to the hut (it is simply impossible to call this building home), you need to cross the river along some structure made of wood and iron, which is held between the banks by ropes and cords wrapped around a tree. I probably wouldn’t even dare to come close to such a “bridge” if it weren’t for Ninuki and Nika, who were waiting for me and cheering me on

“It is so bitter to see your body dying gradually. I understand everything, my brain works, but everything else does not. I mourn myself, and they scold me, they say that I should not do that, they say that I should not lose hope … hope for what? My legs were paralyzed, my arms were paralyzed, now my voice is being paralyzed. Sometimes I can’t speak at all. I want to explain something with my eyes, but they don’t understand me. I call it life in hell! And I’m still young, I’m only 45 years old. Eighteen months ago, I used to go to work, I was so cheerful. I dreamed of living up to a hundred years! And after they told me my diagnosis – multiple sclerosis – my thoughts are only about death.”

Jilda: I was so afraid of this – I didn’t want to believe … They said that Luka’s condition would worsen over the years, but I believed in a miracle! I thought – what if everything would go differently for Luka, not like the others? I thought, what if the monster that lives in his head would stop developing and leave my son alone? But he started having headaches and seizures recently.
