I hope your day is full of kindness
and light, and you have no reason for even a moment of sadness or any
other negative emotions. As always, I'm delighted to have the
opportunity to talk to you via our emails. As for running outside, to
be honest, I rarely run on city roads. But I really enjoy long walks.
As I already said, I try to go to the gym a couple of times a week to
stay in shape. I'm probably not into spiritual matters, but we can
talk about that if you want. The topic of charity you raised is truly
very serious and important. I admire the fact that you and your
friends created a support group. It speaks volumes about your big and
kind heart. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I don't do any charity work.
Andreas, today I'm packing my suitcase. This will be no easy task,
because in addition to my own things, I also need to find room for the
things my sister sends to me and my mom, and a couple of souvenirs I
bought. It's been a wonderful couple of weeks here. The sun, amazing
nature, time with my sister and of course the sea, which is not in
Kyrgyzstan. My homeland has no access to the seas and oceans, so here
I have never missed the opportunity to walk along the coast

But as
they say, everything comes to an end sooner or later, and my vacation
is no exception, even though my boss suggested I extend my vacation
because, by law, I still have about two weeks left to take so she
wouldn't have any problems with the labor code, but I don't know how
to rest for long. I'm one of those people who always needs to do
something, otherwise idleness would drive me crazy. My mother says my
father was the same. My father, unfortunately, has been gone for seven
years. He was half Kyrgyz and half Belarusian and worked his whole
life as an agronomist on a state farm. My mother is originally from
Moldova and used to work as a seamstress. They met during Soviet
times, when Moldova and Kyrgyzstan were part of the same country.
Their story began by chance at the University of Astrakhan, where they
both studied. After their wedding, my sister was born, and three years
later, I was born

I think we were an example of an ordinary,
close-knit family. Our parents tried to give my sister and me a good
upbringing and education

In 2021, my sister moved to Turkey, but
you already know that story. As you can see, I grew up in a
multinational family, so I don't look like a typical Kyrgyz. I also
have an aunt who lives in Kazakhstan, my mom's sister, and I also
consider her part of our family. Andreas, forgive me if you find
everything I write uninteresting

I just don't know what people
usually talk about in such correspondence. I've never had such an
experience in the past. So I write whatever comes to mind

I should
probably thank you for this opportunity and also for patiently reading
my "streams of consciousness." Perhaps that's the beauty of this kind
of communication. You can be yourself without trying to seem more
important or serious. I'd like our conversations to become a daily
tradition

I have to get back to my suitcase. So, have a wonderful
day and be in a great mood! Hugs! Sharipa
P.S. In a couple of photos in this email you can see me with my sister
and me with my mom.
P.P.S. I will wait your photo in the following letter.
