Re: Hi

Hello, dear Danny! Thank you so much for your letter and for the good mood you give me every time I read your letters. Sometimes we need so little to smile, right? Your letters have already become an important part of my day. Even when I'm very busy at work, I always take a moment to read you and respond. Today I greeted you with the words: "Hello, dear, Danny!" it turned out quite naturally, without thinking. I hope you don't mind me calling you that. I feel like we're getting closer with each letter, and that's makes me happy. To be honest, if we had met in real life, it would probably have been much more difficult for me to talk so openly about my family and childhood. But for some reason, in our emails, I feel safe sharing. You know, I was raised quite conservatively. My sister and I have never drunk or smoked, and even now I only occasionally indulge in a little red wine or champagne. We've never touched drugs. Instead, we spent our childhood helping our mother: we fed pigs, ducks, chickens and geese. Although, I admit, I've never dared to feed the geese! They were always trying to pinch me, and I was a little afraid of them. But the piglets They loved me, especially Nyusha! She was always hungry, and I often gave her my cakes instead of eating them myself. Have you had favorite animal in childhood? It's funny when I write to you, it feels like I'm talking to an old friend I haven't seen for a long time, sharing little stories and memories. Isn't it strange and wonderful at the same time? Returning to the topic of parenting. Bye Many of our classmates went to discos, my sister and I stayed at home to study or help around the house. No one forced us, we just looked at Mom and wanted to follow her example. Even now, I believe that parents should always be an example for their children. That's why it's so sad to see young mothers walking with babies, smoking or drinking beer. Children repeat what they see. Another example for me was my aunt, my mom's sister. Thanks to her, I decided to get a pedagogical education. To study at the university, I had to move from Our village is located in Bishkek, about 110 kilometers away. My aunt used to live in Kiev, but after the outbreak of the war she moved to Moldova for security reasons and now works as a tutor there. By the way, I promised to tell you about our family tradition. Every time my aunt comes to Kyrgyzstan, we organize a big family holiday! My mom cooks very well, and she and my aunt sing songs. I don't have a very good voice, but I always sing along — it's so warm and joyful to spend time together. My aunt She is very dear to me, she is almost like a second mother to me. After the death of my grandparents in Kiev, she even gave up part of her inheritance in order to My sister and I could keep their old house. Later, we sold it, and with the proceeds and a bank loan, I was able to buy my apartment. I'm still paying off this loan, but at least I have his own little place. Of course, living alone can be lonely sometimes. I watch TV or read to distract myself. Just yesterday, I reviewed "Forrest Gampa." I've seen it a few times already, but I've never seen good movies. They're getting old, aren't they? But tonight I'm planning something more useful - I'm going to the fitness center! And you, Danny, what are your plans for the evening? I will be waiting for your next letter with a smile. With warmth Akylchach.
