My Name is Tina Gurgenidze I was born and raised in Tbilisi, Georgia. Now I live in Berlin, Germany with my husband. Here I would like to talk about my gradmother Tamara with whom I have spent lots of time in my life. When I
remember my grandmother Tamara I always remember the stories she used to tell me, the stories about the war, about her life in the village etc… What I also remember is the game we always played together. We used to make a house out of the blanket and hide inside of it. This was something like our secret. I loved this game and I was always very happy when grandma came to visit us. The blanket house was like a hiding place for us where all our dreams could come true, it was like our imaginary world, we would spend hours there and never get bored. I could not really say what I have actually learned from my grandma Tamara, no recipe or a handcraft, I think I just learned things about life from her that definitely influenced me in my own life. Grandma Tamara was a person full of life and always happy, without worries, just looking at everything easily. From her I learned to always take the difficulties in an easy way and stay calm in any situation. Looking at h
er I understood that in spite of all the difficulties that life brings along we should always try to stay calm, continue living and never loose our hopes.
