From: Meanwhile in Ukraine: ❤️🩹 Vitalia Kyrkach-Antonenko, the widow of the Ukrainian Hero from Slovyansk, published a poignant post on her Facebook page:
“Our daughter is incredibly similar to you, my beloved Vitasyk! Look and smile, character, laughter… I couldn’t even hope for such a miracle, but she is almost a complete copy of you.
Today you have not been with us for a year and one month, and you, my beloved, cannot share with me the adoration of our little one. I am raising our Vitalina as you dreamed. Everything you planned, I did for her, and she grew up cheerful, clever, and intelligent. Thank you for this miracle of taking care of your continuation in this world.
To all dads who can hug their children during war, cherish these moments. Next to you are the families whose children will never be able to feel this happiness—to be near, or at least once in their life, to see their own father. And you, Vitasyk, would be one of the best dads in the world! I love you forever, my handsome Vitaliy Kyrkach-Antonenko,” Natalia wrote.
Vitaly died in a battle with the Russian invaders in the Luhansk region on November 9, 2022. The defender was originally from the Donetsk region.
On May 19, 2023, he became a father. He had a daughter…💔
