“He always called me sunshine, but it turned out that our sunshine is him,” Matushka Nadezhda said about her late husband, Priest Vasily Glumakov.

“This year has been very difficult in our lives. The first anniversary of our father’s memory is approaching. We learn to live without him. Our eldest son Andrei went to the army—we are really looking forward to his return. The youngest son Matthew is preparing for school. Vasya is preparing for the Unified State Exam and is finishing 11th grade. Nastya will graduate from university in the summer. Arseny is in adolescence and doesn’t let us get bored. I renovated the boys’ room. The eldest daughter, Anna, has grown up and has the opportunity to come home more often and make us happy. The children, of course, are still experiencing the death of their father, but thank God they don’t leave the Church. We live, not without difficulties, but the Lord controls everything.

I thank God for the people helping us get through this difficult time.”

Let us recall that a year ago, on March 3, 2023, after a long illness, the cleric of the Annunciation Church of the Bishop’s Cathedral in the city of Yaransk, Priest Vasily Glumakov, died. Matushka was left with six children.

The story of this amazing priest, a man who forgot himself for God’s sake, is described on our website: https://matushkideti.ru/donate/glumakov/

We ask for prayers for the repose of Priest Vasily, and the strengthening of his family: Matushka Nadezhda and her children. Matushka has three minor boys.
