Winter Magic of My Childhood

Winter has always carried a special kind of magic for me. When I look back at my childhood, I don’t remember just cold days and snow—I remember a world that felt endless, bright, and alive. Everything seemed bigger then. The snow was deeper, the nights were quieter, and even the simplest moments felt full of meaning. My parents didn’t have much money, but they knew how to turn ordinary days into unforgettable memories. One winter stands clearly in my mind.

I had never seen so many different passports in my home at once. And I still remember the laughter, the socks drying by the sobă, the sound of people trying to pronounce words like — "mulțumesc" being the hardest one. What made that winter magical wasn't only the celebration, but the shared joke that traveled from mouth to mouth. For many years, travelers described Moldova as “not developed,” saying the streets looked like England a hundred year...
