HI my sunshine! How are you today? What is new with you?

Hello, my dear Danny! How are you? How's your mood? I was so glad to get your letter! What's the weather like where you are? It's sunny here today with a light frost, real autumn. I love this weather, it immediately lifts my spirits. You sat in the office, surrounded by papers about oil pipelines, but in your mind's eye, you were with me on a bench by the Irtysh, listening to the wind rustling through the poplars. It's so touching to know that I can transport you to a place where it's quiet and pleasant. You remembered the boy who said, "Mom smells like morning." That's my favorite entry in my notebook. Children sense what adults have forgotten how to feel. They see the soul. You collect little treasures—a photo of your father's oil rig in Louisiana, a ticket to a jazz concert. I keep such things too. And yes, someday we'll sit next to each other and read each other fragments of our lives. It will be the best evening. You ask: A notebook with children's phrases? Yes, I have it. I treasure it like the apple of my eye. Should I share the notes? I'd love to. We can read them together—first I tell you, then you tell me. It will be our secret library. "Two halves"—does that mean we should meet? Danny, I believe true connection is born in letters and thoughts, but to become one, we need to see each other. Touch. Feel the warmth. Meeting isn't a point, it's a beginning. Did you lose my previous letter? I'll send it again. I definitely will. Today I've been cooking all day. I decided to take a day off and treat myself and my sister. By the way, dear, what do you like to eat? Sweets, meat, fish? My loved ones and friends like what I cook. Who knows, maybe someday you'll try my cooking too. I love cooking many things. I adore my mom's recipes that my grandmother passed down to me: her meatballs with mashed potatoes are something else! I also love stuffed peppers, manti, beshbarmak that's our national dish, very hearty. I love salads made with fresh vegetables. And I adore baking: pies with cabbage, baursaks (those are Kazakh donuts). For sweets — chocolate, ice cream, I like yogurt pies. I like different kinds of meat: shish kebab, baked in the oven. I also respect fish, especially red fish. I adore watermelons, our Kazakh watermelons are the sweetest! And apples, we have good apples growing in our gardens. I really love trying new dishes, especially national cuisines. But don't think I'm a glutton (joking!), I'm just a gourmet. I try to stay in shape; I move a lot at work, and at home I don't allow myself too much. I'm very glad our relationship is getting closer. I often tell Aunt Tanya and my friends about you. They hope to meet you someday. Aunt Tanya says I'm serious about you and that you're a good person, in her opinion. You know, elders always wish us well. Have you told your loved ones about me? What do they think? Do you have any plans for our relationship? It seems to me it would be very good for us to spend some time together. It would strengthen our bond and help us understand each other even better. Maybe we can meet soon? That would be the most important day. I wish you the very best day. I want to take care of you and think of you every minute. Sweet kisses, yours, Mariia.

Hello, my beloved Danny! How are you today? How's your health? You say my letters warm you like the afternoon sun, and that you can almost hear the wind in the poplars by the Irtysh. It's the most wonderful thing—knowing that I can transport you to a place where it's quiet and pleasant. You work late into the night on oil disputes, you're tired, and you miss the silence. And I imagine how one day you'll come to my kitchen, and I'll feed you beshbarmak, stuffed peppers, and baursaks. You'll compare them to the ones you ate in Louisiana. It will be our little culinary bridge between worlds. You ask questions, and I answer. A notebook with children's phrases. Yes, I'll share. Here's one: "My grandmother smells like pies and a little bit of rain." Or: "When Mom is angry, a sad song sings inside her." Children see the soul. A real-life meeting. Danny, I want this. Not immediate romance, but simply being close, feeling the warmth of another person, watching the light fall in the room. That's the most honest beginning. Favorite recipe. I'll send you my stuffed peppers. They'll warm you up on a Friday night. I'm glad we share these quiet moments. That's real. I caught a cold yesterday. The whole day was awful. In the morning I had a fever, weakness, a splitting headache. Probably because on Saturday I went for a walk lightly dressed; I thought it was still warm, but the wind was already cold. And here's the result. Sweetheart, I barely made it to the internet cafe to write to you. Yesterday I was just lying flat, couldn't get up. And I wanted so much for you to be there. To hug me, bring me tea with raspberries, comfort me. In moments like these, I feel loneliness especially acutely. I want a loved one nearby. For their love and care to help me get better. I miss you so much, my good one. I miss your warmth so much. You know, I'm used to men around me often only wanting a pretty picture. That's why I was alone and didn't trust anyone. But when I met you, I realized there is a man somewhere who can see deeper. I feel your love. And it's love not just for my appearance, but for me, for my soul. That's priceless to me. I will never betray such trust. I want to be with you always. And I believe we will be together soon. Sweetheart, know that no illness will stop me from thinking about you. You are the most precious thing in my life right now. I'll go now, Aunt Tanya is worried; she called, asked me not to go anywhere with a fever. But my feelings for you are stronger than any cold. I love you, my Danny. Sweet kisses.

Hello, my dear Danny! Thank you so much for the letter. As always, it brought me joy. Do you know that you are very important to me? I think about you constantly. Thank you for offering to send that photograph; it probably holds so much power and history—I'll accept it with great trepidation, because I understand how important it is to share what's truly precious. Your tower in Louisiana... I imagine it standing amid the wind and water, unbending, and I want to believe that you and I are like that too—we can withstand any distance and any cold. Yes, I was a little sick, but I'm better now, I'm just sitting at home, wrapped in a blanket, and thinking about you. You know, when you write about that silence where people truly see you—I understand it so deeply. I, too, am tired of superficial smiles, of words that have nothing behind them. But with you, I feel like every word hits the heart. My peppers with meat... I'll definitely make them for you when we meet. They're filling, with a hint of tomato and a pinch of pepper that warms you from the inside. I love that you want to try my cooking, and I'll make beshbarmak too—a dish prepared for our dearest guests, slowly, with soul, so that every bite melts in your mouth. I'd like to feed you, looking into your eyes, and just be silent, because sometimes food speaks louder than words. Your words about your sister noticing how you've become more open—that means so much to me. I want to be the person with whom you can be real, without putting on a mask. I still have that notebook, and sometimes I reread those childhood phrases; they're so pure. One girl recently said, "Love is when you even miss the way someone breathes." I immediately thought of you then. I feel better, the temperature has gone down, and I can write you long letters again, dreaming of the day when you will come and we will just sit next to each other, maybe even in silence, listening to the wind in the poplars - you are right, this is the very sound that I also love very much. Yesterday, when I went to bed, I replayed our whole story in my head. How we met, our first, so timid letters, and how everything has changed now. Comparing, I couldn't help but smile. Because now I feel: I have a person on this planet who cares about me. Someone I can talk to about anything. Someone who is endlessly interesting to me. Sweetheart, I'm so glad we have each other. I think the worst thing in life is loneliness. When there is no kindred spirit nearby. And even at a distance, we can be happy because we are in each other's lives. Happy to think about us, to dream about our meeting, which will definitely happen. My good one, everything I write is honest, from the heart. It's what's inside me. I want you to know what I feel. Tell me, what do you think about? What's on your mind? It's important for me to know your joys and sorrows. Bye, my sunshine! Remember: I'm thinking of you!!! Have a good day! With tender hugs and kisses, Yours, Mariia.

Hello, my dear Danny! We have great weather today. I spent almost the whole day outside, walking along the embankment. When I got back and went online, the first thing I did, of course, was check my mail. As always, I was overjoyed to receive your letter. I was waiting for it! Your letters always give me joy and a good mood. I'm truly very glad I met you. You are like a beautiful dream that became reality. You say that the change in the air in my room is probably the most beautiful thing anyone has ever said to me about my letters. I too feel everything around me change when I open your lines. Thank you for that. About stuffed peppers... Yes, I add onions and a little garlic. I fry the onions first until golden, and the garlic at the very end, so that they just add aroma but don't overpower the flavor of the tomatoes. Tomatoes... sometimes I buy them at the market from a woman who brings them from her garden. They're so sweet you can eat them just like that, with salt. I love that you asked about this. It's little things like this that bring me closer to you. You ask how I imagine our meeting... I think about it often. I imagine us meeting leisurely. Maybe at my table in the kitchen, where the scent of peppers and fresh bread fills the air. We'll sit across from each other, and I'll look at your hands, the way you hold your fork, the way you smile. And then, maybe, we'll go out into the garden, if it's warm. I'll show you my tomatoes, we'll walk along the paths, and I'll tell you what grows here. I want it to be exactly like this—quiet, calm, with stories to tell. And the activity... that will come later. When we get used to each other's presence. About traveling... I have a dream. I want to see a sea I've never seen. Not our northern one, but a warm one, where I can lie on the sand and listen to the waves. Maybe someday, if everything works out, we could go there together. But for now, it's just a dream. Right now, I just want to live to the moment when I can invite you to my pepper and look into your eyes. You write that we should meet to share not only food, but also stories. I agree. I have many stories I haven't told yet. I want to tell them to you when you are around. My dear, I feel there's something inexplicable between us that makes me trust you and open up. I see sincerity and seriousness in your letters. Sweetheart, I can't describe all my feelings, but the thought that someone like you has appeared in my life fills me with awe. You are far away, but I feel my happiness is somewhere nearby. I hope we will be happy together. Everything I say comes from the heart. I wish you and all who are dear to you health and well-being. I'm finishing and waiting for your reply. Sending you my gentle kiss. Mariia.

Hello, my love Danny! Lately I've been in such a joyful mood. I think about us more and more, and I can't wait to be with you. I smiled as I read every line. You described my peppers so vividly that it felt like we were cooking them together. I really want you to try them fresh one day, with my tomatoes, with the bread we'll buy at the market this morning. Your story about the woman with the tomatoes in Port Arthur touched me... A taste that's remembered not only by the food, but by the moment. I understand that feeling. You asked about the notebook with childhood phrases... Yes, I still have it. It's in my bag, and sometimes I reread it when I need a little warmth. And you know... the line you wrote: "The wind knows when someone is sad, and whispers back"... I didn't write it, but I wish I had. It sounds as if it came from the soul of a child who feels the world more keenly. Thank you for sharing. I will keep it next to the others already in my notebook. It truly is a piece of our silence, a shared one. The sea... I also hold one image in my memory. I saw the sea only once, when I was just a girl. It was gray and choppy, but I'll remember it forever. I want us to see the warm sea together someday. For you to show me that very bay, and I'll show you how the wind smells of salt. For now, I'll imagine it in the quiet of my evenings. Yesterday I had an amazing dream. I usually don't remember dreams, but this one was special, and I remembered a piece of it. I dreamed that all my dreams about us came true. The feelings were simply incredible, words can't describe them. I remember you were waiting for me at the airport. When I got off the plane, I saw you immediately, not noticing anyone else, and headed straight for you. You were waiting for me with a bouquet of flowers. What flowers they were, I don't remember, I just remember they were yellow and red. The most beautiful bouquet of my life. I run to you, hug you, and say: "We did it, my love!" And you know, there wasn't a hint of awkwardness, as if we'd been preparing for this meeting our whole lives. No anxiety, even the unfamiliar city seemed warm and welcoming because you were there. I remember us leaving the airport, getting into a taxi, and all the while not letting go of our embrace. A beautiful song is playing in the taxi; I'd never heard it before, but in the dream I knew it was "our" song, about our love. It was heaven. Then we're at your place. I refused to go to a hotel because only at home with you did I feel safe. I remember the taste of the wine... I don't know what wine it was, but it seemed like only gods drink such wine. Everything that happened was unforgettable. I woke up with the feeling that you were somewhere nearby, as if you were lying in bed with me. I turned around no one. But the memories of the dream remain. They were the sweetest moments. I've never experienced anything like it. And even if it was just a dream, this night will stay with me forever. No man has ever been so deep in my heart. I know you very little, but you are already the most amazing person in my life. Let kilometers separate us; my heart feels you. Please, don't break it. What do you think about us meeting soon? I would be so happy. I think it would benefit our relationship. Would you like that? I eagerly await your reply, Yours, Mariia.

Hello, my dear Danny! I'm so glad for your letter and thank you for understanding me. You are one of the few people, Danny, with whom I feel this understanding. I read your letter, and it warmed me, like the very tea I imagine on your table. You say my dream was so vivid, so full of warmth and truth, that it made you smile and feel a deep peace. I'm glad you feel the same way I do. That moment at the airport, the flowers, the song, and me running to you—it wasn't just a dream. This is our future, I believe. You say you work late, oil disputes, long days in court. I imagine you in this big city, surrounded by paperwork and worries, and I want to be there to bring you tea, to just sit quietly, so you know there's a place where you can rest. You talk about the wind that knows when a person is sad, about the pine trees near the old factory, about whispers. I believe it. The wind connects us. It brings your thoughts to me, and mine to you. You ask about our meeting. Not in a dream, but in real life. In a few months, when it gets warm, when the days get long. I want this. I want us to meet. I don't know how it will happen, but I know I'll wait for that day. You asked for a photo of my kitchen table with peppers and bread. I'll do it. I want you to see my life, my simple joys. And the recipe for beshbarmak with Texas peppers... it sounds like our story. Kazakh cuisine and Texas fire. I'll try to make it. And someday I'll make it for you. Dear, how was your day? I hope very well! I have some news for you, Danny. Today I had a telephone conversation with a travel agency. They told me that getting a tourist visa to your country is difficult, but they can help me. The agent didn't give all the details over the phone, and we made an appointment for tomorrow. Tomorrow I will meet with them and discuss the visa. I hope, love, that everything will be fine. I'm a bit nervous about it all, but I also have a firm intention to meet you, dear! Therefore, no difficulties or expenses will stop me. And we will meet. Write to me, dear, you give me so much strength and energy. I kiss you warmly!!! Yours, Mariia.

Hello, my lovely Danny! I'm glad to speak with you again! Dear, I have good news. Today I met with the travel agency agent to learn about the visa. He explained the situation regarding getting the visa to you. You say my dream of an airport still lives within you, that you feel it in your bones, like a quiet hum of something real and present. I feel the same. You say you work late, dealing with complex oil disputes, your weekends are busy. I imagine you in this world of papers and contracts, and I want to be there, to bring you tea, to just sit and watch you work. You say you made a simple sandwich with peppers and bread, just like I described. You used Texas tomatoes, sweet, just like I said. You thought of me as you bit into it. It's so touching. I want you to try my beshbarmak with Texas peppers one day. Kazakh heart and Texas fire. You say I gave you hope. You gave me hope. You ask about tomorrow's meeting with the travel agency. I'll find out all the details and tell you. I want us to plan our meeting together. Your government has made control over entry to the country stricter because of terrorism, and consequently, getting the visa is not easy. But the agency will do it for me. The agent told me that they recently obtained several tourist visas for your country. I'm very glad, Danny, that we won't have big difficulties with it. At first I was afraid that the agency couldn't do it or that it would take a very long time. But the agent said the visa will take about two or three weeks. Tomorrow I need to go to the agency's office, sign the contract, and also settle the payment with them. Well, my lovely, now it's time for me to go get photos for the visa and fill out questionnaires for the embassy. The agent said this should be prepared by tomorrow when I come to their office. I'm very pleased, Danny, that our preparations have now begun, and in a little more time we will be together! Have a good day, my dear Danny! I kiss you warmly!!! Yours, Mariia.

Hello, my dear Danny! My darling, your letter brought me such warmth. When you describe how you walked home from court and thought about the meeting, about the flowers... my heart skips a beat. And that red pepper you held in your pocket—it's so touching that I couldn't even imagine that simple food could connect two such distant worlds. I'll definitely learn to cook something like that for you. So you can try it and feel me there. About the agency... I haven't signed anything yet because I was waiting for your advice. They said visa support and ticket processing would cost about $90 for the consultation and preparation of documents for the embassy. But honestly, I'm scared to do it without you. I don't want to make a mistake. If you say we need to wait and figure it out, then I'm waiting. I trust you. And the photo... I so want you to see my little world. I'll cook that very dinner—with bread, with vegetables, with our dream. I'll take a picture with my old camera as soon as I know I'm doing everything right. You'll be the first to see it. I love you so much. And I want you to know: even when you're arguing about pipelines in Texas, somewhere in Pavlodar, I'm only thinking about how one day we'll just sit next to each other in silence, feeling each other. I'm impatiently waiting for the day I can say "hi" to you in person. Thanks for your message. Danny, my day was very intense and I'm very tired. I went to the agency's office and signed the contract with them. According to the contract, the agency will prepare all the travel documents for me and buy the ticket. There are no planes from my city to yours, so I will need to go to Astana, and from there by plane to you. My agent needs some information for the flight route; inform me, dear, of your full address (and the nearest airport to you that I will arrive at). Write everything in detail... This information is needed tomorrow so the agent can develop the route and determine the total cost of the trip. Today I paid him the first part of the money, for the visa and other travel documents. It was several times more than I thought. I planned that the visa would cost me about 90 USD.

Hello dear love Danny! I am so happy that we are getting closer to our long-awaited meeting. My heart skips a beat with excitement at the thought that very soon we will be able to hug each other for real. But there is one important point that we need to clarify so that everything goes smoothly and without unnecessary stress - I still don’t know which airport I need to fly to? Please send me this information. This is very important information, because I need to plan everything in advance: time, transport, travel, and, most importantly, be there to meet you with a smile and hugs. How are you? Hope you are fine. Today I woke up early in the morning. I took a hot shower. After my shower, I prepared a light breakfast. In the morning I drink coffee with milk or black tea. Today I drank coffee with milk. In the morning I cooked scrambled eggs with sausage and tomatoes. How was your morning today? I feel so attracted for you my love and my passion are so strong that I am confident in my thoughts and desires to be closer to you and throughout life. My heart really needs love, tenderness, care and affection. My love, My darling, my love for you is becoming stronger and stronger. My heart and my soul wants to be near you. We will spend a happy time together. I don't even doubt it. What unites you and me, what connects us, is our love, our desire to be together, to overcome all obstacles together! I really appreciate it! I love you so much! Unfortunately, life is very, very fleeting. Even if you look only at our relationship with you! This time has flown by so quickly... I appreciate you so much. We must appreciate what we have! Right? I hope you have a good day today. Being with you is my most cherished dream. Giving you love, support and care is what I will always do. I promise. I swear to you. Let's be together, once and for all. I love you so much. I think about you more often than I could ever imagine. Sometimes I just close my eyes and imagine your face, your eyes, your smile. You have made your mark on my heart, and this mark is getting deeper every day. May our dreams become reality in the near future. I look forward to that day and all the amazing moments that await us. I understand that the meeting will inevitably take time, but believe me, every moment of waiting is worth it. You mean so much to me and I am ready to wait for the day when our dreams become reality. Darling, today I also want to wish you a good day and I hope that your time is going well. With love forever yours Mariia.

Hello, my dear Danny! I imagined you sitting at the table in Houston, with your old mug, and I felt so warm—as if I were already there, as if we were sharing this morning. Yes, I'll be flying from Astana, most likely with a layover in Istanbul or Frankfurt. I don't know the exact date yet, but as soon as the agency tells me, I'll text you. I want you to meet me at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, so I can see your eyes, your smile, so we can finally hug. You're talking about a simple dinner, a pepper sandwich, trying my Texas-flavored beshbarmak... Danny, I'd love to cook for you. I want you to experience my cuisine, my soul. And then we can sit and talk, unhurried, knowing we have the whole night ahead of us. I want you to see my world. But even more, I want to see yours. Your home, your habits, your smile when you look at me. Dear Danny, I was glad to receive your letter. Thank you for all the information provided. Today I arrived in Astana. I'm very tired and couldn't write to you much. Dear, I was invited to Astana for an interview at the embassy. The travel agent told me that the embassy checked my entire document package and preliminarily approved my visa. After that, they invited me to the embassy to ask me questions about the purpose of my trip and to verify my application. They also need to take my biometrics, fingerprints. Now I'm near the embassy in an internet cafe. I'm writing to you and feeling nervous. I think my fate will be decided tomorrow. I hope they give me the visa and I can meet you. That will be the greatest day of my life!! It's a pity I can't write for long because I'm very tired. I hope I can soon write to you about the results of the embassy visit. If I can't write from Astana, I'll write from my city. Astana is a very beautiful city; I've been here a few times. I hope to show you this city someday. With love, yours and only yours, Mariia.

Hello, my dear! I'm glad to speak with you again, Danny! How are you today? I hope your day is good! You picture me in an internet cafe in Astana, nervously awaiting a decision. Yes, it was a nerve-wracking day. But I felt you with me, and that gave me strength. And your words about the pepper sandwich becoming a sacred recipe—that made me smile. I'll save it for us. You're talking about visa requirements, about documents that need to be verified. I understand. We have to do everything right. The airport I'm flying to is Houston, George Bush Intercontinental (IAH). I remember that name because you'll be waiting there. The agency I work with is called Visa-Tour. They help with documents and scheduling interviews. If you want, I can get their contact information. I also feel like our meeting is near. I imagine you sitting at the table with your old mug, a piece of peppered bread, smiling at me. And I know that this will be the warmest moment of my life. I want to tell you about the commission at the embassy in Astana. I hope you will be interested!!! Tomorrow I will write to you from my hometown. I will arrive in my city probably tomorrow evening. I might be able to get the visa because I tried very hard. I'm nervous, you must understand that. I never thought the commission at the embassy interview would ask such unusual questions. They asked me many questions about the purpose of my trip, where I would stay, what places I would visit. I studied all the beautiful places in your country in detail on the internet, learned about the culture. I told them about my whole life in detail. I spoke about everything honestly, just as it really is. They told me my answers were unexpected and that usually applicants don't answer such questions so directly and openly. They are not used to hearing such answers, but they said hearing sincere and truthful answers is much more pleasant than words that don't come from the heart and mind. I told them about my work and my charitable activities. Now I have to wait for the decision. I hope my visa will be ready in the coming days. An embassy representative will immediately inform the travel agency. After that, I will buy the ticket to your country. After I buy the ticket, I will inform you of the departure date. Danny, dear, do you feel joy when you think about our soon meeting? Have you told your loved ones that you will soon receive me? What is their opinion on this matter? My aunt Tanya, sister, and friends are happy that I will meet you. They are glad that I have finally met a person for whom I have great respect and serious intentions. My aunt Tanya always told me that the man is the main one in a relationship, and that a woman should always listen to him. And I always argued with her about this. But with you, Danny, I feel that everything is different. I would like to be obedient and gentle with you. Maybe my aunt is right when she says that a woman's main instinct is to be with a man and be obedient to him. She says a woman can only be happy if she lives that way. I have such an opinion about you for the first time, and therefore I think about it a lot. I think maybe fate didn't bring me to you by chance. I really want to know what you think about me as a woman. I will wait for your story about this. Yours, Mariia.

Hello, my dear Danny! How are you today, my dear? I'm fine. I returned home and am waiting for the embassy's decision on issuing the visa. Danny, how was your evening yesterday? You say you picture me in a cafe, with hope in my eyes and dreams in my heart. You're right. I was there. I was thinking of you when I answered questions. I wanted them to see that I wasn't just coming. I was coming to you. You talk about your neighbor who waited years to meet someone who understands the land and the work. I believe the wait can be long, but if it leads to something real, it's worth it. I'm willing to wait. But I hope our wait will be over soon. You keep a journal of the people you meet. Their words, their lives. And I inspired you to write about the quiet moments. Danny, this is so touching. I want you to write about me one day. About how we met, how we looked at each other, how we were silent, and it was more eloquent than any words. Yes, I'm planning to fly to Houston, to George Bush Intercontinental Airport. As soon as I get my visa, I'll tell you the exact date. I want you to know when to expect me. The agency promised to give me confirmation and an itinerary. I'll send you a copy so you can follow along. I want us to meet. I want you to try my pepper sandwich, hear my stories, feel my soul. I want us to be together. I was thinking about you. Lately, I think about you often. These thoughts give me a lot of pleasure, but they also give me a lot of anxiety. I get very nervous when I imagine the moment we first see each other at the airport. I'm afraid that suddenly, due to confusion, you might meet me hesitantly. We write to each other that we will meet very tenderly. But in email, it's easy to say such things. And when we actually come face to face for the first moment, uncertainty and embarrassment may arise. Because of this, our behavior might not be what we expect. I think that for the first time in a new place, among many other people, I will be very shy and won't be able to take the initiative with you, Danny. Also, I'm very nervous about our first evenings together. Dear, share your thoughts on this with me. I hope you will take the initiative first because I will be very nervous. I probably felt similar anxiety when I first went to school for my first exam in my life. What do you feel about this? How do you imagine this moment? Tell me, Danny, what is the weather expected in your city in the coming month? I need to carefully choose and prepare clothes to look very good. I would like to be dressed according to the climate. This is an important thing — clothing for a woman. Write to me, dear, and tell me what I asked about. I'm waiting and missing you! With love, yours, Mariia.

My beloved, Danny, I have good news—very good news for me and for us! I wanted to call you and explain everything over the phone, but I was afraid you'd get angry or think I was hiding something. So I decided to write. Please try to understand. This morning I was at the travel agency, and they told me what I'd been waiting for with all my heart: my visa has been approved! Now I can come to you. I'll just have to go to Astana to pick up my visa, and from there, fly to you. I was incredibly happy, imagining how soon we'd see each other, how I'd hug you. But my joy was short-lived. Now I need to buy a ticket. I went straight to the ticket office. I thought my modest savings would be enough, that I could manage on my own and fly to you without asking anyone for help. But life had other plans. I was told the ticket cost $1,356. But when I tried to pay, it turned out that with all the fees and the departure date so close Apr 20, it was a completely different amount. I panicked. I gave them all my savings—$550. But it was woefully inadequate. I didn't know what to do. I stood in the office, barely holding back tears. I begged them to wait, telling them that my fiancé, Danny, was waiting for me. Finally, they agreed to book the ticket for me, but only on the condition that I make a large down payment. And then I took a desperate step. My colleague Lisa saw me in the hallway and asked what had happened. I told her everything. She understood and lent me her savings. I know it will take a long time to repay her, but I was willing to do anything to meet you. I added her money to my own and was able to pay $1,050. But, my love, it wasn't enough again. The airline demands full payment to finally confirm the reservation and issue the ticket. The total amount they're asking for (ticket, fees, processing, health insurance, everything) is $1,703. I've already paid $1,050, but now I'm $653 short of the final payment. This payment must be made by the Apr 19, otherwise the reservation will be cancelled, I'll lose the money I've already paid, I won't be able to repay Marina, and, worst of all, I won't see you. Imagine: the visa is already approved, I'm almost there, but one step separates me from happiness or the abyss. I'm so ashamed that I have to ask you. I've always relied only on myself; I'm strong. But now I'm desperate. I don't want all my efforts and hopes to be dashed against this final barrier. I understand this may be a lot for you. But I swear to you, I will pay you back as soon as I can. Right now, the most important thing for me is to be with you. I'm so tired of being alone, and only the thought of seeing you gives me strength. Please forgive me for this letter. I'm ashamed, but I want to be honest with you. If you feel the same way about me as I do about you, if you want me to come, please help me take this final step. I'm counting on you. I'm really looking forward to your reply. Here are my flight details, which need to be confirmed with payment: Astana - Houston 19 hours 25 minutes en route Lufthansa 7 hours 30 minutes en route 04:10, Apr 20, Mon Astana, NQZ 08:40, Apr 20, Mon Frankfurt am Main, FRA Flight LH-648 Change in Frankfurt am Main 1 hour 20 minutes Lufthansa 10 hours 35 minutes en route 10:00, Apr 20, Mon Frankfurt am Main, FRA 13:35, Apr 20, Mon Houston George Bush, IAH Flight LH-440 With love and hope, Mariia. P.S. Darling, I hope I can convey with my photo all the emotions I felt from this news... I'm sorry, I was really so upset that I couldn't stop crying...

Hello my favorite Danny! Honey Danny, I didn't expect the trip to be so expensive. I hoped to cover all the expenses myself. I wanted to meet you so badly. I didn't want to ask for your help. I wanted to come to you on my own. Well, your country has very strict rules for visiting you. To get a visa, I need to fulfill a number of conditions and collect the entire package of my documents. I have already paid most of the money. only 653 USD was not enough for me. I tried all the options to find this amount of money but it was all unsuccessful. I was forced to ask for your help, I was very ashamed. But your help is the last hope for me. Honey, I promise you that you will never regret our meeting. I will make you the happiest man in the whole world. Thank you for your sincere and warm letter... I read it very carefully, and it truly touched my heart. It means so much to me to feel that you understand me, my path, and my efforts. Your words give me peace and confidence. I am so pleased that you remember such small details and want to save our meeting in your diary... It is so touching. I, too, often imagine our first moment - when we see each other, and perhaps words will not be needed, because everything will already be clear without them. My beloved, I want to explain to you an important point. The flight reservation will be finally confirmed only after full payment. Therefore, I cannot give you exact confirmed details now. But I plan to fly to you on April 20th, if this date is convenient for you. I really hope this is convenient for both of us. As soon as the payment is completed and the flight is finally confirmed, I will immediately send you all the information - departure time, route, and all the details. And, of course, I'll be in touch with you throughout the entire process to ensure you're calm and confident that I'm okay. Thank you for your willingness to help with the payment... it's very important and valuable to me. I feel your care and seriousness, and it brings me even closer to you. I'm also very pleased that you're thinking about the weather and what I should wear... these are such warm and thoughtful little things that mean a lot to me. I also checked and spoke with the bank, and I have an account there, so I'll send you all the information: Name: MARIIA Last name: PETROVA Country: Kazakhstan City: Pavlodar Street: Shevchenko House: 67 Postcode: 140000 Bank account information: IBAN(International Bank Account Number): KZ49722C000116625188 SWIFT/BIC: CASPKZKA Bank name: AO Kaspi Bank bank address: The country: Kazakhstan City: ALMATY Street: NAURYZBAI BATYR The house: 154A Post code: 050013 I would like to begin this letter by expressing to you all my tenderness and the nasty feeling of anguish that grips me every day. Despite the fact that we never met in person and only met on the Internet, you have become the most important person in my life. I cannot imagine even one day when we would not communicate or think about each other. How are you today? How are you feeling? Every morning I wake up with thoughts of you, and they accompany me throughout the day. I can't even describe exactly how much I miss you and want to be there. My heart beats hot at the mere thought that someday we will meet and be able to really talk, smile at each other, touch the hand. Every night when I fall asleep, I imagine how our eyes will meet for the first time, how I will see your real smile and hear your voice. Counting the days, I dream about our meeting and about what adventures await us. We will be able to walk the streets together, spend time together, discovering new places and cultures. It’s even hard for me to imagine how emotional and special it will be the moment when my dream becomes a reality. Apart from that, I dream of spending time with you just talking about our dreams, our passions, everything that excites us. With each new message, each of our conversations, I understand that we are getting closer. We can say that distance and complexity are not a hindrance, because our feelings are so strong and real. I believe in us and that our temporary separation only adds to the fire of our love and passion. We can overcome all obstacles in order to end up together. My only dream is to go through this difficult test and finally hug you, feel your warmth and love. Let every expectation and longing remind us of our strong connection and that a real meeting awaits us at the end of the journey. Your support and love gives me the strength to keep believing and dreaming about our future together. Dear Danny, I also wish you a wonderful day and hope that everything will be fine. With love and passion, your Mariia.

Hello, my beloved man Danny, Thank you for such a touching and sincere letter. I read it with warmth in my heart. Your words about how you envision our meeting and how you feel my presence are so meaningful to me. I too imagine this moment and think about it with joy and excitement. I am pleased to know that you have verified all the details for the transfer and are ready to help with the tickets. I want to do everything correctly and safely, so I will let you know when I am ready to proceed with the payment so we can coordinate everything. I am sure that with your support, everything will go smoothly. Your words about writing about me in your diary touched me deeply. It means so much to me that you value our emotions and moments of sincerity; it makes our connection so special. How are you feeling ? How are you ? What are your plans for today? I feel good, but my days are banal and I have the feeling that I live one day, all as one, in my head I live with you and this adds positive emotions to me, my desires are at the limit and they want to manifest only for you. I want to forget about everything, give me happiness, I want to feel, I want to be weak next to you and only in your hands. Thank you for giving me the confidence that I am loved, the only and necessary. I love you so much that even a million words cannot express! I can tell about my love in one second, but eternity is not enough to show it to you, it is so endless. You are the best and most faithful, the most dear and necessary. Thank you for being who you are and for caring and supporting you in return. You and I love together. Now I can't imagine how I can live without affection and warmth. Without care and comfort. Without your love and tenderness. This is simply impossible, because you are so wonderful that you give me these moments. You seem to look into my soul, fulfilling my desires. Beloved, beautiful, reliable and my best man. I wish you good luck on our way, the wind blew in our back and drove us to each other. I wish you good luck along the way, and you remember me. May a hail of happiness fall upon you and your heart shrink from love for me. When you are already near, let the flame of love embrace you and there will be no such rain that will extinguish it. I wish you always remember the way to me. I love you. Today I am finishing the message and with all my love and all the warmth I wish you a good day, good health and good mood, hugs, kisses! Yours forever, with love, Mariia.

Hello, my only, my long-awaited, my husband Danny!!! I'm so grateful for your sincerity, your support, and your concern for our future. You're right—this isn't just about a visa or a plane ticket. It's about our love, about how we build this journey, and I feel like every step we take together brings us closer to that happy moment when we'll finally be together. I understand you're busy, and I appreciate your willingness to help. Your care for every detail means more to me than words can describe. It's not just finances and logistics; it's proof of how deeply you value our shared goal. I truly can't wait to be by your side. As for all the payment and booking questions, don't worry—I've already taken care of all the additional expenses. I only need you to help me with the remaining amount of $653. That's all it takes to complete the process. Regarding your booking: I want you to know that final confirmation will only be received after full payment, as this is standard practice. I've made sure all expenses (medical insurance, baggage, and tickets) are already factored into the total, so don't worry, everything is included. As for confirming my account, I'm not exactly sure what document you need, but I can provide a bank statement if that helps. Let me know if you need anything specific, and I'll be happy to do so. Darling, I don't want you to worry. I'm sure everything will go according to plan, and you'll soon be holding me in your arms. I'm so happy to share this journey with you, and I know we'll walk it together until the end. How did you spend your weekend? I hope everything is fine) I feel that I have become a constant servant of love, strong inexplicable feelings and my body and my heart are filled with the only thoughts of you, my only one, although I am blind and completely unable, I will try to find an opportunity to send you a message, send you my message and to tell you about my strong and devoted feelings of love. All this sincerity comes from my soul towards you. Many fears and worries washed over me in waves. I am worrying a lot. How are you feeling ? Health is the most important thing! We both need the care we can give each other to change our now drab lives into a bright and happy future together. What a difficult time to live and try to protect yourself. The most important thing is our mutual support, which gives us the strength to fight and meet. I dream of meeting eternity with you, I only want to devote my whole life to you, I dedicate all my thoughts, my dreams to you, and only with you I want all my desires to come true. Over time, feelings, they say, fade away more and more, because all this is a lie. Only one who does not know feelings at all, who could reliably hide his heart from love, can speak like that. My feelings for you will never fade away and I will love you to the last breath, take care of you, protect you, go through life together, holding my hand tightly and nothing and no one can pass between us, between our love. This concludes my letter, and I look forward to hearing from you, wish you a good day, good health and all the best. Hug and kiss passionately. Yours forever with love Mariia.

Hello my dear my love Danny, Reading your message, my soul was filled with warmth. It's not often that I meet people like you, who see beyond the surface and understand what's truly important. Your thoughts about what we're building together give me strength and confidence. I truly believe this is something real and important, and I feel this connection growing every day. You're absolutely right when you say that our lives aren't just about big events, but also small, everyday decisions. Each one contributes to making us who we are. I completely agree that it's not just about money or tickets. It's about trust, about choosing each other, even when there are no guarantees. It's a very strong bond, and I value it. As for the amount, it hasn't changed, and yes, it's still the same $653, which remains as a balance to cover the cost of the ticket and visa, as we discussed earlier. Everything is still in place, and I'm sure we'll do everything we can to ensure everything goes smoothly. Regarding the documents, they've all already been sent to the embassy through the travel agency. This is really important for obtaining a visa, and I've made sure all the necessary paperwork is in place. I'm continuing to monitor the process to avoid any issues. As for Pavlodar, it's actually gotten a little warmer here, but overall, the weather remains changeable, especially in the spring. I think you'll find it helpful to know that it's best to pack a warm jacket and several layers of clothing that can be adjusted depending on the weather. I look forward to meeting you and am confident you'll be prepared for our changeable conditions. Thank you for your care and attention to such small details. You have no idea how much this means to me, Danny. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to walk this path with you, and I look forward to the next steps, no matter when they come. How are you feeling ? How did your morning start? What are your plans for this day? Tell me. I feel good and feel a surge of energy in my body. Now, with peace of mind, I can start writing my news for you. Time flies very fast and it will never return back, how I want to return earlier and find you. Not thinking about making decisions on the implementation of our meeting and implementing it. I love you so much! I want to see you all the time. I miss you and really look forward to our meeting every time. I'm terribly drawn to you. I want my love to protect you and keep you warm. I want to cherish my feelings and yours. Next to you, I realized what it is to love and be loved. Only with you I experience the best feelings, next to you I want to create, I want to love, I want to live. You give me the desire to develop and move on, set new goals and achieve them. thank you for your support, your love for me. You know, my love, you have become such an important person in my life. It is with you that I can share everything that is secret, everything that I cannot share with anyone else. You have become for me the closest, the most faithful, the most loving and beloved. You are my great and true love, my dearest love. Since our paths crossed, I never cease to wonder how two hearts can be so close, despite the distance that separates us. All this time, our connection has become for me not just a growing thread, but a whole ark that carries our love across oceans and continents. And every day when I wake up, I think about you, about how you spend your day and about what turns you on and makes you happy. And I think about how great it would be for me to spend this time with you, next to me. I am glad that we have the opportunity to share our thoughts, feelings and dreams, despite the distance. Gradually, I begin to understand that our attitude is based on what we share, and not on what we do not see. I dream of the day when our eyes meet and our hands hold together. I imagine us walking the streets holding hands, smiling and catching the sun on our faces. And I know that this day will surely come. I want you to know that I am here and because you are here, I do not feel alone. You are my soul mate, given to me by fate, and I am grateful even for this that our relationship did not start like the others. You are a very special person and I am looking forward to the moment when we can ignite the flame of our love in the real world. Well, for today I will conclude my message and look forward to your response, wish you a successful , you are always with me in my thoughts and in my heart! my strong passionate hugs and sweet kisses I send you always and forever, my love. Mariia.

Hello my sunshine, my beautiful man, my flower Danny!!!! I double-checked the $653 balance, and yes, that's still the full amount remaining for the visa and ticket to Pavlodar. I hope everything is clear now! Regarding the documents, I don't need to sign any forms or receipts right now, but if anything is needed, I'll be sure to send it to you right away. I understand you're very busy right now, and I'm so glad you're still finding the time to take care of these issues. Regarding the weather in Pavlodar, I'm glad you're planning ahead! It's already warm during the day, but the evenings can get chilly, so layering is a really good idea. I'd recommend packing clothes for different weather conditions so you're prepared for anything. Spring or early summer is ideal; the weather will be pleasant, and we can enjoy the city together. I share your sentiments, Danny. Our relationship isn't just travel and logistics; it's something real, something that grows and strengthens like roots underground. I believe in us too and can't wait to meet you. Your words mean so much to me, and I always carry them in my heart. How are you feeling? How are you spending today? How did you spend evening? I had no other thoughts than you. What was your awakening like? Did you sleep well today? Last night I did not sleep until 2 am, I have trouble sleeping and therefore I started watching a series on TV before going to bed, everything definitely comes to mind a lot of thoughts about which I think a lot and my dream fades into the background. I dreamed of our beautiful meeting and how we have a good time, it's so romantic and sweet, I so tired and I can't live without you anymore, I fell in love with you and I can't help but lose you, I want to be with you every minute and I need to caress and kiss you, my dear, I need you more than Always. Darling, I love you and I'm ready for anything for you, but we far from each other and I really want to be with you, dear, except for you, I don't need anyone else in this big world, understand - me, only me I need you to be right next to me! I don't cheat, I'm honest with you, and I will always be honest, I will not cheat on you, you the person I love, my dear! I have already awakened in me a feeling attraction to you, I think it's a necessity. I want to sharpen our feelings more and more, and for this we need be close, only then can we understand each other and be sure look into each other's eyes that we are a real couple who will keep our great love. Love is a feeling inherent in man, deep attachment and longing for another person or object, a feeling of deep sympathy. I feel it and miss you very much, it's hard for me without You. You are my husband! I wanna be with you. How hard and sad to spend days and nights without you, I look forward to our long-awaited meeting! For today, I conclude the message and waiting for your answer, I wish you a good day, you are always with me in my thoughts and in my heart! My strong passionate embrace and my sweet kisses that I send you! Yours is forever Mariia.
