Thanks for your reply, xxx! Glad to hear from you again, I hope your day started well
and I can make it even better! ))
Thank you for telling me more about yourself in your letter, I was really interested
to read it and now I can confidently say that we are on the right track!
So how is your day???? What you do now? what plans for the coming evening?)))
Thank you so much for your compliment about my English, as you understand, it's not my
native language, but I learned it some years ago in the studio of foreign languages and still
I remember a lot So with you I'll have more practice!
You are lucky to have a good weather in xxx, in my city it's cloudy and since morning it
was -3 degrees, pretty cold and windy I wish I also could sit on the bench and drink coffee with
you
Oh, I see that you have a big marriage experience haha To be honest, I'm so sorry that your relations
didn't work, but at least you have a very big family and even grandkids! This is wonderful! Do you
often see your kids? Your daughters and son live in your country? How about that 5 year old boy? Do
you communicate with him?
Oh, I see that you like reading books! Which is your favorite one? Have you ever read Russian
classics? I think that the whole world knows who is Dostoevskiy or Pushkin, have you ever
read books written by them? Right now I�m reading a book "Heaven Has No Favorites" written
by Erich Maria Remarque, I�m already in the middle of the book and I really like it! If you
still didn�t read it, you have to try!
It�s very seldom for me to see a man who likes to cook! So you are unique, Jacques !!!I also
like to cook and I think that I�m very good in it, my friends and family always enjoy my
dishes and in the future I�d like to please my man with my masterpieces too By the way,
what�s your favorite cousin? Have you ever tried Ukrainian dishes? If you come to Ukraine,
I�ll cook specially for you traditional dishes: borsh and vareniki, are you exited?
By the way, in a previous letter I forgot to mention that I live in Kharkov, it is one
of the most beautiful and large cities in Ukraine, once this city was even the capital
of Ukraine. About 1,500,000 people live here, the city is very beautiful with many parks,
squares, museums, a lot of tourists come here, especially in spring and summer, this city
was even one of those that hosted the European Football Championship in 2012. By the way,
are you a fan of football?
Yes, I'm free to travel, I understand that real meeting will be very important for us to see how our
relations can work, so after some time we have to discuss our first meeting
But it will not be a secret for you that the year 2014 became a turning point in the life
of many people living in the Donbass. The war affected not only Lugansk and Donetsk, there
were terrorist attacks even in Kharkov, many people sought refuge in this city, and to this
day a lot of people come from military regions. Therefore, in 2014 there was a crisis, it
affected almost all enterprises, as far as I know, about 30% of enterprises, both public and
private, stopped to function, many entrepreneurs moved to other cities and even countries,
food prices rose, utilities have risen in price. Therefore, I would not say that now life in
Kharkov is the same as it was before ... ((
By the way, I did not say a word about my profession and what was my path to it. The desire
for beauty is a natural property of a person, because everyone would like to live in a
picturesque place, have a nice house with a harmonious interior and wear stylish clothes.
The sense of beauty makes people admire historical sites, visit art galleries, exhibitions,
concerts of their favorite singers and musicians. Therefore, it is obvious that design plays
an important role in human life. One of my constant hobbies in childhood was the design of
clothes for dolls. First, I made a sketch of what I want to create, and then transferred it
to the fabric. I had a large collection of dresses and other items of clothing for my dolls.
I did not think that I had to become a famous designer, but I wanted to create casual clothes
for ordinary people. I knew that professional designers needed to study at a specialized
school for at least a few years. In our city there were many such institutions, so I entered
a design college, and then graduated the univercity in the same profession. When I got married,
my ex husband helped me open my own tailoring atelier, where I started selling my first costumes
and dresses, which was quite profitable before the war. However, after the war, as you
already understood, there was a crisis, and people did not have money to buy expensive
high-quality clothes, now everyone mostly dresses in mass markets, so my business is practically
at zero. Many clothes simply lie on the shelves of the store and are waiting for their
customers, but to be honest, I don�t even have any hope that life will sparkle again with new
colors and a second wind will open in my studio. I came to the conclusion that I need to
change something in this life, I need to make money somehow, because my daughter is growing,
maybe if our communication leads us to a personal meeting, one day I can open my small clothing
store in your city? What do you think of it?
I would like to end this long letter with a quote from a German writer, it seems to me that you
will really like it! "The most difficult thing in life is to understand which bridge to cross
and which to burn" - Erich Maria Remarque. Do you see the sense in it?
So, xxx I want to wish you a perfect day and I'll be waiting for your soonest reply!
Olha with best regards

Hello, xxx!
Thank you so much for telling me more about your relations with your kids, it's nice to hear
that you still have good relations with them and they can always rely on your support! you are
a very good father
xxx, of course it was only my dreams to open the shop in your country, I'm not going to do
it now, cause I understand the we are only in the beginning of our relations, so it's not serious to
plan something if we still are strangers It was just my assuming, nothing more, so don't take it
serious now
It seems that we are having more and more topics to talk about and I am very happy about
that! I want to offer you to play the game, the rules are very simple: in each letter you
will ask me 2 questions that interest you and I will be obliged to give honest answers to
them. In exchange, I will ask you too, but taking into account that our questions were
different. Do you agree? Then I'll start! ))
My 1 question: what does happiness mean to you?
2 question: what is your main goal in life?
xxx, I believe that there is nothing wrong with recognizing each other�s inner world, it�s
very important for me to see such qualities as understanding, reliability, kindness,
generosity, empathy in my man. Most men in Ukraine are fixated on themselves, they think
only of their own and do not care about the interests of women. Very often I watched how
the man from Italy was anxious and tender towards my friend, he considers her literally
the queen and makes her happy every day! It seems that their honeymoon lasts from the very
beginning of their relationship and their feelings for each other are growing every day ))
I want to tell you that my ex-husband even tried to take our daughter to his new male family!
When he informed me that he is gay, he said that many families, such as now with him, have
children and it�s normal that the child grows up in a family where mom and dad are 2 men or
2 women, but of course it was a shock for me, because Ksenia was small to understand this
and she needed a mom, not two dads! Therefore, we had a very long lawsuit, where it was
decided that the child will stay with me, but at the same time my ex-husband does not pay
even the minimum help for the child! It seems to me that he was crazy, because for me it is
not understandable how you can abandon your child and make a choice in favor of a man who
will please you !!!
xxx, I hope I didn�t overload you with this story? I just want to be honest with you and I
want you to understand that I am ready for changes in life. My daughter is my wealth and I
am sure that we can overcome all difficulties with her. If life decides  that we can no
longer stay in Ukraine, I will be very glad, really
I wish you a happy day and waiting for your soonest reply,
Olha with warm hugs
