Oh, my sweet XXX. I already thought I'd never write to you
again... Today our neighbourhood was hit by rockets... We barely had
time to go down the basement... It was very scary... I was saying
goodbye to my life... to you... It hurt even more because we never
met... Also We lost one of our dogs... I cried for half a day...
But I'm glad I can write to you now... It's a good thing..,
that today is possible... I can't plan beyond
beyond one day. That's why every time I write it's like my last... And there's so much
there's so much more to say that I just can't put on the page
of this letter.
Did I tell you that my little sister has diabetes? On top of that.
the war is breaking her childlike psyche... I mean, every day there's something going on
that just kills us morally... My biggest dream...
to take her and leave this place... Who'd have thought I'd want to,
because I loved my town so much...
And what I'd like even more is to be with you now... I think we could have...
we could have made it work... I'd work, I'd cook dinner at night.
and we'd go to bed together and cuddle...
But in order for that to happen, there's a hard and dangerous
to make it happen... I'm ready for that.
My friend's brother can help me get out of the occupied part... He's
can load us into a truck with humanitarian aid, cover us up
with boxes so no one can see us and take us to the other side... From here on out...
want to get to Lviv, which is in the west of Ukraine...
It's relatively safe there now... The only thing we need
is money, which we don't have right now... We're saving even on
food, eating only once a day... All the money went to counterfeit
medicine for Veronica... My friend's brother is willing to take us in for $500
out of a man... He'll get us to a safe house where
it'll be a lot easier to get to Lvov and then to the
the border...
There are volunteers in western Ukraine who help with the paperwork
and crossing the border into Europe... I would like to
to take this chance while it's still possible...
Forgive me for addressing you... I'm not used to doing this...
to do that... I'm terribly ashamed, to the point of tears...
I'm also very worried about your answer, how you'll feel about me afterwards...
to me afterwards... And also our future fate will depend on him...
I would really like to tie my life to yours...
