Ten years later, I accidentally found a leaf that my grandmother gave me a long time ago.

We all want to believe in miracles, but life does not spoil us with them. But sometimes they do happen. Especially when you least expect it. This is what happened in our history, which began on the Day of the Intercession of the Virgin. Thanks to pure chance, our heroine found the happiness she dreamed of all her life.



Editorial "Site" A story that will melt the hearts of even the most avid skeptics.

Nadia loved to go to her grandmother in the village. She spent all weekends and holidays there. Alevtina Fedorovna always warmly treated her granddaughter and tried to share with her everything she knew.

On Sunday morning, Nadia was awakened by her grandmother and offered to go to church with her. She said, “Today is a great holiday – the Day of the Intercession of the Virgin.” On this day, the Mother of God gives the girls a happy fate. Go and ask for yourself.” But Nadia wanted to sleep longer, she didn't want to go.



When the girl was going home in the evening, her grandmother tore a leaf from the rolling calendar, where it was written about the holiday, and put it in her hands. She told her granddaughter that if she wants to marry successfully, it is necessary on this day to pray to the Mother of God and say the following words: “Pokrovo-Mother, cover the earth with a snowball, and me, young, with a handkerchief.” A happy marriage will not keep you waiting.

Then Nadia did not understand why she was doing this, because she already had an enviable gentleman. In the village, she met a guy who began to take care of her, promised that he would invite her to marry when the time came. Although her grandmother did not approve of this union, she said that Vaska was not a couple to her at all. But who listens to grandma at 17? Nadia thought she knew more about this life than anyone else.



Three years later, Nadia was still waiting for Vasya to call her to marry. She was sure that it would happen very soon, and even looked at the dress. But when she came to the village for the weekend, she found out that Vaska had a wedding in a month. Not with her, but with the daughter of the village head.

Nadia came to her grandmother in tears and shared her secret: she was expecting a child from Vasya. Alevtina Fedorovna that day until the morning calmed her granddaughter, wiping her tears. By the morning, they decided that they would not say anything to anyone, Nadia would just go to the city and somehow raise the child herself. Better to grow up without a father than with a traitor like that.



Her parents also supported her decision and tried their best to help. She gave birth when she was in her third year of university. Mom quit her job to sit with her grandson while her daughter finishes her studies. That's how we raised little Bear together. After studying, Nadia found a good job, in a couple of years she was already the head of the department at the company.

But she never found personal happiness. All these years she worked to raise the child on his feet, did not think about himself at all. Her heart had not yet healed after the betrayal, it was difficult to open up to a new person. But she pushed her thoughts to the farthest corner of her consciousness. Nothing to worry about.



The Forgotten Leaf in early October was a disaster. Grandma Alevtina suddenly left this world. After the funeral, Nadia was hard at heart, she could not recover for a long time. That day she was looking for something in old papers and accidentally came across an old yellowed sheet of paper. It was a leaflet from a rolling calendar that her grandmother gave her a decade ago.

Nadia looked at him and wept bitterly, remembering that day. Then she was firmly convinced that only happiness awaited her, but she never had a happy fate. All these years she lived alone, no one asked her to marry. Then she remembered what her grandmother told her about the Day of the Intercession of the Virgin.



The holiday fell just the next day. Nadia decided to go to church and this time ask the Virgin for happiness for herself. She wanted someone to brighten up her loneliness and give her some love. She stood for a long time in front of the icon of the Virgin Mary, and then said barely audible: “Mother’s Intercession, cover the earth with a snow, and me, young, with a handkerchief.”

She did not expect that everything would suddenly become good and the prince on a white horse would jump straight to the church, but her heart became somehow calmer. Happiness was yet to come.



Miracles happen a month has passed. One evening, Nadia returned from work late. In the morning, the day was still sunny, and by the evening began to pour rain. The woman walked to the stop, wrapping herself in a wet coat. But the bus left right in front of her. She already wanted to cry with annoyance when a handsome man approached her, offering to hide under his umbrella.

Together they stood in the rain, waiting for transport. Nadia felt that at that moment the whole world stopped. Six months later, she was walking with him. Past failures are behind us, and only a happy fate lies ahead.



Maybe it’s all about divine intervention, or maybe it’s just the time when luck smiled at our heroine. You can be skeptical, but miracles happen even when you don’t expect them. Have you ever had such stories?
