A Ukrainian girl wrote an emotional letter to her dead mother — presumably killed when Russians shelled their car amid the ongoing invasion — promising to “meet in heaven.”
“Mama. This letter is a present for you on March 8. If you think that you raised me in vain. Thank you for the best nine years of my life,” the child wrote in a journal.
“I am very grateful to you for my childhood. You are the best mum in the world. I will never forget you. I want you to be happy in the sky. I wish you go to heaven. We will meet in heaven. I will try my best to be a good to go to heaven also.
“Kiss you, Galiya.”
