When two are brighter
A married couple from Nizhny Novgorod with a visual impairment shared the secrets of their happiness
For Irina and Dmitry Balykin 8 July, Family day, love and fidelity, - special date. On this day, Dmitry made an offer to Irina. The couple loves to travel, although they perceive the world more by ear - Dmitry is blind from birth, and Irina has only residual vision.
Dmitry and Irina met while working at the Foundation for the Support of the Deafblind. Now they work together in the public organization of the disabled "Invatur".
“We talked for six years at first just as colleagues - Dmitry lawyer, I'm a PR man, Irina says. - We met infrequently - I lived in the Smolensk region, he is in Nizhny Novgorod. He bribed me with his sincerity, decency, responsiveness, kindness to people. And also conquered me, that he is a very wise man. Everyone has their own destiny in life, you have to live in those conditions, that life gave, and take something positive out of it too. And he's great at it.".
Dmitry attracted a broad outlook in Irina.
“We always had something to talk about, and then everything else came, he remarks. We lived in different cities, and the relationship required development. We looked at each other for a while, this period lasted more than a year, and I understood, it's time to propose. Made it 8 July, Irina immediately agreed".
The couple travel a lot
Irina, despite severe visual impairment, always loved to travel. Visited Prague before marriage, twice in Israel with friends. Having moved after the wedding to Nizhny Novgorod to her husband, immediately began to actively explore the sights of the city and the region. And infected her husband with her enthusiasm.
"You can't go alone without sight., need company and incentive, Dmitry explains.. - And then, and another gives Irina. Sure, we got married already in adulthood - me 42, Irina 38. But the desire to be together is more important, than the so-called "grinding of characters", when people run away in the first year. It is important not to accumulate resentment and discuss everything with each other..
« Жить слабовидящему человеку в Нижнем Новгороде легче, than in that region, where i was born, - Irina does not hide. – Do you have smart stops, buses glow in the dark, we don't have anything like that. I really like to discover the Nizhny Novgorod region. Ride on "Valdai" in Makaryevo, visited the Orange Monastery, in the near future Diveevo. I love visiting museums, especially such, like the Nizhny Novgorod Technical Museum, where you can touch everything. The Toy Museum also allows you to touch some of the exhibits. Sure, a good tour guide is essential, typhlo translation".
Irina and Dmitry have already visited Sochi, plan to go to Dagestan this year.
Recall, с этого года День семьи, любви и верности по указу президента Владимира Путина стал официальным праздником. State Duma deputies have already prepared a bill, в соответствии с которым этот день должен стать выходным.
