Petr Smazal: Samuel is still with us
“We still say to ourselves that there are four of us as a family. Samuel is not here with us, but somewhere above us he is watching over us. That helped us. We will probably have a table set for him at the Christmas Eve table as well. But we have made an altar made for him in the Mexican style, there we light a candle for him. We used to light it every day, now in moments when there is an event that concerns him as well, “said the chef and owner of the butchery to eXtra.cz.
He collapsed after the death of his first son. For three months he could not be among the people and suffered. But then he and his wife decided to go head to head for another pregnancy, which saved them. Peter says that if it weren’t for them, they might not be together.
Happiness in the second son
„Of course, when we found out that his wife was pregnant again, it was a very happy moment. It was after the holidays, at the time I signed up for MasterChef. We tried for another child immediately, but the tests did not work, so we were often sad about it. This was suddenly euphoria, new energy. We were very happy that it worked out, “he confided to us overjoyed dad Petr Smazal.
Magic and rainbow child
“My name immediately jumped out Nataniel. Only then did we find that meaning was God donated. It was no accident. And Nathaniel was born to us on the twenty-third. Samuel’s life lasted 23 days. It’s all magical, ”The chef muses.
“Nataniel is almost up, he’s incredibly full of energy for four months. It’s the devil. Babies born after the sibling’s death are said to be rainbow babies. And it is said that such children develop very quickly. In this case, this is true to the last letter,” added.
