The Kim family album

An app and a grandmother

Tulpar, the chat that all the grandchildren are on, and my first message in it.

My grandson Artyom put a program on my phone last month. It is called Tulpar. It has a winged horse. He said "Dedushka, now you have a chat with us". I did not know I wanted a chat.

My first message was to the whole family chat: "Test. Viktor Pavlovich." Nelli's message came back in 4 seconds: "Vitya, you do not have to sign your messages." My daughter sent a picture of a Seoul cafe with an arrow. My son sent three hearts. Artyom sent a sticker of a horse saying "Salam!" Then I sent a photo of my tomatoes. In 15 minutes I had 11 replies and nobody wrote "Viktor Pavlovich", only "Vitya" and "Dedushka".

I will say something I do not say aloud: when you are 70 and your children are in three countries, a message with a horse is the same as a visit. Not completely. But it is a good photograph of one.
