..."Right now this is really hard for me," Jenia replies. "It's really hard to comprehend."
Before the family leaves us, Oksana wants to say something to other Ukrainians who have been separated by the war: "Love each other and take care of each other. Hold on to your love until the end."
In a month they will have to say goodbye again. But Jenia's words from Lviv station at the beginning of the war come back: everything will be fine.
I realise they are more than simply words to this family. They are an enduring act of faith the war has not destroyed."
