In an interview with 24 hours, his mom Karolina Horvat reveals to us that Fran is to grow blueberries today.

– There was a great student at the school who remembered a lot of things, and after the end of the middle he wanted to deal with something, he wanted to work, and we wanted something where there was not much physical job because he couldn’t. Then we decided to take blueberries, planted them in bags and this year we should give birth for the first time. Young seedlings and Fran can pick it up lightly for an hour and a half because it later has concentration. We started to feel valuable and useful, that he knows that he can and that makes him happy. We also have a greenhouse where he grows vegetables, his grandmother is a worker, he is, he says, the boss. He loves working in the garden, his favorite is when something is harvested, he feels special because his grandmother helped plant it, and now the blueberries are eagerly awaiting – Karolina tells us.

The story with blueberries started with his younger sister every summer goes to family friends to the Borovnica plantation for help.

– He makes a good money and he likes it and so he wanted to grow blueberries at home to make a trip for a trip because he loves to travel very much. Now in May he is his birthday and designing where they would go, sometime for the weekend. It just matters to him that he is going somewhere. Recently we went to Bratislava at the Christmas fair, he was delighted, he was sleeping at the hotel he had a heavy breakfast and that was most important to him. He loves traveling, socializing, sea, swimming, animals, is very communicative – his mom adds.

So far, every dog ​​we had just he was trained and every dog ​​listened to him. Fran is very special, he knows how to pull himself under the skin. He does not know of hatred, quarrel, anger if one tells him something, does not differentiate good from evil, think that everyone is good, that no one is malicious and that everything has to listen. He is simply a child of love – Mom describes him.

He was a great student at school and when he didn’t know well, he would study until he remembered. In high school, she adds, he learned himself with the fact that she helped him with the task.

– Reading knows, but he didn’t understand some tasks. He did not have an assistant in teaching because they thought he didn’t need to, he was forced to learn this way. At school, they thought the assistant would do the tasks for him, so he didn’t even get it. Every day I was a kindergarten of the vehicle and went for him and so until the end of the middle because he couldn’t do the bus. Everyone was Maza, from aunt in kindergarten, speech therapists, a teacher at school – Karolina reveals.

– It was his first concert for which he expressed his wish, as a kid he adored cold beer, but we led him home because he was too loud. He was now delighted and sang and danced. His great passion is football, there is no club and football player he does not know, so he follows everything and comments with his brother and Dad. Recently, the diary is sure to follow at noon. That’s his new interest now. In the summer, every day he plays football on the playground across from the house while in winter is more home, likes to play PlayStation and hang out with his brother and sister. Fran is such that when something promised, it must be done. Without him, our lives are unthinkable, he always knows who of us is a bad will, who needs to be comforted, hugged or laughed – his mom Carolina tells us in the end.
