Hello my dear Danny ❤️
Thank you for your message. It warmed my heart too. The image of you walking by the old bridge, thinking of us, sitting together in the golden light it stays with me. It makes me believe that this is real, that we are building something beautiful, even from so far away.
I love that you found a ceramic piece at the riverfront market a hand-thrown vase with a river pattern. That is so thoughtful. I will treasure it when it arrives. And yes, please send me a photo of that coffee shop with homemade pastries. I would love to see it.
You asked about the call. I will call you on Thursday or Friday, from the call center. I will let you know the exact time as soon as they confirm the slot. I want to hear your voice, Danny. I want this to feel real.
You also asked about the flight. I will be flying out of Almaty, not Petropavlovsk. It is easier to arrange the visa and documents from there. I am not sure yet which airline, but I will let you know once everything is confirmed. Honey, when will you send the money?
Thank you for being patient with me. Thank you for being real.
I am thinking of you.
Hi Iuliia,
Thank you so much for your sweet reply—it truly made my day. I can still see that old bridge in my mind, the golden light, the way the river reflects like liquid honey. It feels so peaceful, like a moment from a quiet dream. I’ve been walking that stretch a few times lately, especially after work when the sun dips low. I even stopped at that little café you mentioned—the one with the cinnamon croissants and espresso so rich it makes your skin feel warm. I took a picture, but I’m still waiting on the photo upload to finish. I’ll send it over as soon as it’s done—maybe by tomorrow?
I love the detail about Almaty. I didn’t realize it was easier for visa arrangements—makes sense. I’m actually going to double-check the airlines with my friend at the Houston airport office, just to be sure we’re not missing anything. Also, I’ve been thinking about the flight timeline—what time zone are you in when you’re calling? I’ll want to make sure I’m not on the other side of the world when you’re on the line.
One quick thing: I found a tiny river stone near the Trinity River last week, smooth like a petrified whisper. I’ve been keeping it in a small glass jar. I think it might be perfect to send you when the vase arrives—like a little piece of our shared journey.
When will you confirm the call time? And what about the flight date—can you send a rough window? I’m ready to make it happen.
Sending warm thoughts your way,
Danny
