Life is like the wind—you cannot hold it, but you can feel it. Each day slips away, leaving a trace in our memory, sometimes vivid, sometimes barely perceptible. Like a flock of birds, colorful and swift, with the quiet rustling of wings, our memories soar into the past, only to return one day and awaken something deeply cherished.

The collection "Birds of the Wind" is a mosaic of stories where joy and sorrow, dreams and disappointments, love and loss intertwine. I wanted to convey to the reader the full spectrum of life: its unexpected turns, profound emotions, and happiness hidden in the simplest moments.

Within these stories lie the destinies of people, their feelings, choices, and trials. "A Wedding in January" is about family values and the continuity of generations. "Snowy Confession" reminds us that true love can overcome any obstacles. "The Road of Life" tells the story of a man who rescues his beloved from the grip of the past. "The Vanished Angel" speaks of a mother’s tragedy after losing her child. "Assol" is about those who are willing to help lovers preserve their happiness.

A special place in this book is given to stories about animals—our loyal companions, friends, and saviors. They heal, bring joy, and teach us compassion and wisdom. In "Mark’s Feat," "The Colorful Cat," and "The Waltz of a Little Dog," you will find touching and remarkable tales about our smaller brothers.

This book also contains memories based on real events. Some stories are filled with humor, while others invite reflection. Some will remind you of something deeply personal—something that is dear to you.I believe that among the "Birds of the Wind," you will find your own—the one that resonates in your heart.
