Ilya's name: special day

It just so happened that I was given the name Ilya... I remember how much I disliked it as a child, but many children of that age are guilty of this. Now I am happy with my name and rarely encounter people addressing me differently from my full name. It's funny!

It just so happens that the second of August is not only Airborne Forces Day, but also my name day. I am not Alexey, not Alexander and definitely not Ivan, who have a lot of these days in the year... That is why this day is somehow special for me. Perhaps it is this day that distinguishes me from others)).

It just so happens that only one person knows about this date well and, what is most interesting, remembers it, and he has been congratulating me on my name day for many years. It is very nice... although I do not like holidays, including my birthday. This congratulation about one construction site always seems very sincere and kind to me. Thank you! Sincere words give energy and strength like nothing else.
