Mazal Asael with her daughter Regina

This is a photo of my daughter Regina and me in 1972 in Sofia. My daughter Regina was born in 1968. She wanted to go into her father's profession and she went to study at the optics technical school. She chose to deal with laser optics there. She used to work in UchTehProm, a laser technology factory, but when the orders from the Soviet Union ceased after the political changes in Bulgaria in 1989, she was dismissed from work. Now she works at Social Care Centre in Mladost Municipality. My daughter married a Bulgarian and she has two children, Simona and Martin. I used to go on vacation with my husband every year in the 1960s. I took my daughter to the seaside every summer in the 1970s. We had work then and we had the financial ability to go to resorts. When my daughter started school she used to go on vacation during the winter, the spring and the summer holidays. We lived well until 1989. Now, after the political changes in Bulgaria that began on November 10th 1989, we don?t live well.
