The water spring methodically pumps water: one-two, three-four, one-two, three-four. Small streams of water, breaking through the ground, merge into streams and then look for their way. Directly to the river, literally a couple of steps. Here it is, the stream of the elder brother, very close. But getting to it is a task with an asterisk: here you need to go around a lying stone, and here - a bush. Well, a little further there is a lot of sand, and it greedily looks at the inquisitive water streams: it wants to return to its domain, no other way. We observe life in water miniature on the bank of the Western Dvina in those places where Belarus ends and Latvia begins behind those three bushes on the horizon. In this place we found ourselves with a resident of the border agro-town Leonid Kaskevich. Here, to the river, he runs to recharge his batteries and throw off all the unnecessary burden of life. And to Leonid Petrovich, at 73 years old, something heavy has stuck like a burdock. His childhood was not easy: he grew up in an orphanage. And seven years ago he lost his wife. Insidious oncology took his spouse, leaving only photographs and unbearable depression in return. In the fight against it, Kaskevich ran to the river for the first time. It was hard, but one evening it let go. So from that day on, Leonid became a strong athlete. If you like the video, support us in the comments, like it and don't forget to subscribe to the channel.
