Hello Danny!

Hello Danny,how are you doing? How is your mood?I've already got attached so much to you that I miss when I can't read your regular letter or can't answer to you.My everyday thoughts are about you: your cheerful mood,health,success.I’ve seriously thought today about the future of our communication.Hope to hear from you soon,Mariia.

Hello, my good Danny! Today is such a mixed day: the sun was shining in the morning, but by evening it became cloudy. My mood is a little sad today too. How are you? I hope everything is fine with you. Seeing your photo is already a reward for me! With such a penetrating and deep look, you are able to disarm any woman! Your photo, the main image in the whole world! Your photo is the best that has been printed in the history of mankind! Thank you very much for the photo ! I loved it ! Today I'm a bit worried about my grandma... Well, about the woman who became like a grandma to me. It's our former neighbor, Aunt Tanya. She replaced our grandma after she passed away. She's already old and lives alone. Lately, she's been complaining of pain in her back and chest. Yesterday she got really bad; I took time off work and took her to the clinic. The doctor said it's probably osteochondrosis and age-related, but sent her for tests to be safe. They prescribed medicine and special exercises. They gave her injections, and she felt better. I'm very glad nothing serious happened, but a residue of anxiety remains. She's the dearest person to me after my sister. I'm very afraid for her. I try to stay strong, but my heart feels heavy. Today I've been drinking tea all day trying to calm down. The weather is grey, but I made myself some tasty tea with honey, it helps a little. Sweetheart, I told Aunt Tanya about you. She was very happy, said I've been single for too long and that a good man is happiness. She asked me to send you her regards and said she would pray that things work out for us. She says I care too much about others and too little about myself. That I need to think about my own family and my own happiness. She's glad we're corresponding. You know, I often feel lonely, especially when I come home to an empty apartment. But I believe in God and in luck. Maybe it's fate that I met you. Yesterday evening, to distract myself, Aliya and I went to the theater. They performed a play based on the story "The Cranes Are Flying". The play was called "Tango on the Shards" in the local production. Very powerful, touching to tears. About love, about war, about separation. Strong impressions. Do you have a theater in your city? How often do you go? Aliya was also impressed; she sends you her regards. Tell me, have you seen anything interesting lately? Maybe been to the cinema? How often do interesting events happen in your city? Tell me, I'm really curious. I'm eagerly waiting for your letter. Yours, Mariia.

Hello, my dear Danny! Thank you so much for your letter, for your tender words and care. You have become so dear to me, I enjoy reading your words so much. Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine you saying these words to me. And it makes my heart feel so warm and calm. I looked at your photo and I really liked you. you have very beautiful eyes, a charming smile and delightful features. Thank you very much for the photo, you are a very handsome man, and I liked you. I hope that you will send me more of your wonderful photo. Your letter is like a bridge between Houston and Pavlodar. You tell me about documentaries on oil rigs, about lonely workers surrounded by machinery, and you say it resembles what I described about Aunt Tania. It's true, loneliness comes in many forms, but they all leave the same mark. "Tango on the Shards" was intense, Danny. Not just moving, but profound. It's about a dancer who loses everything in the war—her family, her home, her love—and finds the strength to start over through dance, even when the floor is covered in shrapnel. In the end, I don't know if it's hope or loss. Maybe both. Maybe this is what life is all about: dancing on shrapnel and smiling anyway. You sent me your phone number. Danny, I don't have a phone. I don't have a smartphone, I don't have apps. I come to this internet café and write letters. This is my world. I hope you understand. Even though we are far from each other now, in my thoughts we are together. We're walking in our Pavlodar park, holding hands, talking about everything in the world. I feel that you are special to me. Your letters have become a necessity for me, like air or water. I never imagined that something like this could happen to me. Thank you for existing. You know, Danny, I don't think appearance is the main thing. Yes, it attracts at first, but it's all temporary. Time will pass, others will appear, younger and more beautiful. But the soul, the inner world that's what stays with you forever. A person should be beautiful on the inside. Do you agree with me? Danny, I see in you a person with whom I am comfortable, who interests me, who makes me want to get to know you more and more. I want to know your soul. It seems to me that you're not playing games with me; we have many shared thoughts, similar values. We are both looking for something real. I feel an emotional connection; I can talk to you about any topic, and it's so easy, as if we've known each other for a hundred years. I like the way you think about life and relationships. Your letters show that you are a serious and decent person. I really resonate with that. I think we are similar in this. I also take our correspondence very seriously. And it seems to me that when we meet in person, it will be just as easy as it is now. Okay, my good one, I'm ending the letter. I hope you have a wonderful day! I think of you and smile. I'm really looking forward to hearing from you! With the warmest hugs, Mariia.

Hello, my dear Danny, I was so pleased to receive your letter. I'm very glad fate brought us together. I hope in the future we will become very close people. I look at your photo and I really like you! I am very glad that you are sending me your photos! It's so cool ! Thank ! You are the most beautiful and gentle man in the whole wide world. Your photo is everywhere with me, well, you understand me) Aunt Tanya and my little sister Saule send you their regards. Do you mind that I tell them about you? Yesterday we went to Aliya's birthday party. The girls and I surprised her: we gave her a set of her favorite cosmetics and a spa certificate. It was fun, we sang karaoke. Listen, do you like to sing? Maybe you hum something in the shower? (Smiling). All my friends have been married for a long time, and they all noticed that I have a sparkle in my eyes. They whispered that I've fallen in love. I haven't told them anything yet, even Aliya is quiet, playing along. Is it that noticeable? I can't see myself from the outside, unfortunately. I don't know if it's love. Have your friends noticed anything like that? What do you think about our future? I understand it's too early to talk about it, but I'm interested in your opinion. It seems to me we've known each other for many years. I've only felt that way with my closest friends. I believe our meeting is not a coincidence. You know, I think a lot about my life. In recent years, something has been missing. I never thought I would want to leave Kazakhstan; I love my country, my city. But I became curious about what's beyond its borders. I want to see the world. How do you feel about traveling? What countries have you visited? Tell me about the most beautiful places you've seen. I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but I entertain the thought that I could move to another country, at least for a while. Life is one, and you need to see its beauty, learn about other cultures. But by comparing, you can understand where it's better for you and your future family. Where it's safer, more stable, where there's work and decent healthcare. What do you think about this? I sometimes feel a bit out of place in my city. Maybe that's why I haven't met anyone here. The men around seem to be looking for something else, not so many romantics. I really want to have a strong family built on love, understanding, and emotional closeness. That's the most important thing. I want to feel safe, needed, and loved. And to give all my tenderness and care to my man. I have a lot to give, but I'm saving it for one special person. I think about you constantly. I eagerly await your reply. With warmth, Mariia.

Hello, my Danny, Thank you very much for the letter. As always, it lifted my mood and made me smile. Looking at you, I am convinced that nature is the best artist and sculptor. I will put your beautiful photo on my screensaver. A very delicate and graceful photo. This photo made me write this comment. Alluring and captivating photography. Incredible energy emanates from this picture. Is it really a person in the photo? Or is it an angel?))) I often think about you. You are the only person who treats me so tenderly. You know, I want to tell you something important. I believe that friendship is very important in a relationship. Passion is good, but it's friendship, the ability to be together in everyday life, that makes relationships real. Do you understand what I mean? I want my man to be my best friend. To be comfortable with each other in silence, laughing, discussing any little thing. Emotional connection is the foundation. What do you think? Reading your letters, I feel your honesty. You tell me a lot about yourself, and I want to respond in kind. I have a dream. I want to find true love. Not for a day, not for a year, but for a lifetime. A special person who will love and cherish me, and I will do the same for him. I want our love to be eternal. When I meet him, I will give him all my tenderness, care, my whole self. What is your dream? What do you want most from life? Tell me, I'm very interested. You know, I used to not believe that you could find someone close on the internet. I thought it was all not serious. But now I understand that it's possible. I met you. And it seems to me that I've known you forever, even though we've only exchanged a few letters. I know there is a person in the world who understands me, whose thoughts and dreams coincide with mine. Know that you are dear to my heart. I am always ready to listen to you, support you, and help if I can. That's all, I'm finishing. I'm waiting for your reply! I'm thinking of you!!! With gentle hugs, Mariia.

Hello, my good Danny, How are you today? What's new? I'm fine, and I was so glad to hear from you. I miss you so, so much! I think about you constantly. I looked at your photo, do you have such an intellectual look?) Beauty will save the world !!! And looking at you, I'm sure it's true! You know, the modern rhythm of life does not allow us to meet sometimes, but thanks to our letters, we can share beautiful and interesting moments of life from photos. Photography does not convey how amazing you look in life! But thanks to her, you can see you more often)) I think that you will send me your photo in every letter! I always expect your beautiful photos from you! Your letter is so profound and warm that my heart sank as I read it. You talk about friendship as the foundation of love, about the importance of truly knowing a person, and you're right—without it, even the strongest relationships crumble. Your work, oil rigs, long trips, loneliness... I sense in you a person who is looking not just for a companion, but for a kindred spirit, a safe haven. Your dreams of quiet mornings, shared coffee, long conversations—these are my dreams too. I, too, want not palaces and sunsets, but simple human happiness: waking up next to someone, feeling your breath, knowing you're near. You ask where I want to go... Oh, if only you knew! I dream of seeing the ocean, any ocean—the Pacific, the Atlantic, just standing on the shore and feeling the wind. But even more, I dream of seeing you. Your city, your home, your balcony at sunset, the one you write about. I want us to look at this sun together. Thank you for your promise to send a photo—I'll be waiting. And know this: you've become very close to me, too. Yesterday we had a hurricane wind. A real storm! At Aunt Tanya's, our former neighbor's, the yard was destroyed: the fence was knocked down, the greenhouse where she grew tomatoes and flowers was wrecked. She called me, crying. I ran over, and it was a mess. The two of us couldn't handle it, of course. I called all the neighbors. About seven men came, some with boards, some with tools. Over the weekend, the whole yard helped restore her fence and greenhouse. She was so grateful, she set a table in the yard: she made pilaf, baked flatbreads. We all sat together like one big family. Moments like these make my heart happy. There's so much evil in the world, but also so many good people ready to help. Aunt Tanya told stories from her life, how she survived the war as a child. Her father went to the front, and she and her mother didn't hear from him for 10 years. Everyone said he was dead. But she prayed and waited. And one day he returned. Without legs, but alive. It turned out he hadn't written all those years because he didn't want them to see him as a cripple; he hoped his mother would find someone else. But she waited for him. Just didn't wait quite long enough: she died a year before his return. We all cried listening to her. Sweetheart, did the war touch your family? Okay, my dear, I'm finishing. Waiting for your reply! Miss you! With the warmest thoughts of you, Mariia.

Hello, my Danny, How are you? Today I really felt like writing to you. I hope you don't mind? I look at your photos and your photo raises my spirits and gives me the opportunity to admire you whenever I want to. You do not change, but you change every photo with yourself for the better! Just super! You know how to surprise! Each frame amazes with vitality and charm. Your looks are a magnet for any lens, send me more of your photos! It would be very cool and pleasant for me! Sweetheart, tell me about your past relationships. You can trust me. I have no secrets from you. You have become very dear to me, and I want to be honest with you to the end. I had a serious relationship that ended badly. It was 5 years ago. After that, I didn't want to meet anyone for a long time. I met him when I was already working at the kindergarten. He worked as a bus driver. Everything started wonderfully: he was caring, attentive, seemed ideal. I thought I had met my destiny. But over time, he began to change. Became somewhat withdrawn, irritable. Then I found out he started drinking. At first rarely, then more often. Arguments started. One day, when he ran out of money for drink, he demanded it from me. I refused. He hit me. Hard, so hard that I fell and hit my head on the corner of a cabinet. I had a concussion, I lost consciousness. In the morning, I packed his things and put them outside the door. He begged for forgiveness, cried, promised to get treatment. I gave him chance after chance, probably ten times. But every time it was the same: binges, aggression. Then my friends told me he was also seeing other girls on the side, having affairs. I realized it was a dead end. And I ended the relationship for good. Sweetheart, no one knows about this except my friends. Even Aunt Tanya doesn't know. She wouldn't have survived someone raising a hand to me. I was deeply depressed. For a long time, I couldn't trust anyone. It was painful, hurtful, scary. Because at first it was a fairy tale, and then such a nightmare. I don't want the past to poison my future. I never want anything to do with him again. I think you will understand me. Sorry for such a long letter. I needed to talk it out. I know my worth and I know I deserve respect and true love. This experience made me stronger and taught me to value myself. Sorry if I upset you. But you need to know the real me, without embellishment. I look to the future with hope and believe that I can find a person who will love me just as I am, without pain and fear. Waiting for your reply. Yours, Mariia.

Hello, my dear Danny! I want to tell you that your letters are the biggest source of joy for me right now. You are becoming the dearest person to my heart. I always eagerly await your letters. When the notification came today, I was just beaming with happiness. I looked at your photo with pleasure. Very emotional and impressive. The photo managed to convey your wonderful mood and raise it to me. We do not know you personally, but in these beautiful eyes I managed to see a crystal clear soul and true charm! I am telling the truth! I really like your photos! Take pictures more often, because looking at your profile and full face is so nice! Send me more of your photos! I look forward to your photo in every letter you send! Danny, my love... Your letter warmed me to the depths of my soul. You say you've never known someone who truly saw and yet still chose... I choose you. I see in you not just a successful person, but a deep, thinking soul who seeks the same depth in return. Your words about the balcony, about quiet moments, about watching the sunset - this is what I dream of. It doesn't have to be the ocean, the main thing is to be close, to feel your shoulder, the silence that doesn't press, but connects. Your proposal to go to the sea, where the sky meets the water, sounds like the most beautiful dream. I want it. I want to sit with you on the shore, listen to the waves, talk or be silent - and know that we are together. I'm not rushing you with photos. I'd rather wait for the very ones, the "real" ones, the ones that reflect your soul. You are very dear to me, Danny. I feel our connection growing deeper with every letter. We are far apart, but I feel that we need each other. I believe our meeting was destined by fate. Who knows, maybe we really are two halves? I can't find words to describe my feelings. You make me the happiest! Thank you for your love and care. I feel your sincerity and seriousness. For my part, I will do everything to make you happy too. Because deep down, I feel that you are a very special person to me. I'm ending the letter and endlessly waiting for your reply! With hugs, Mariia.

Hello, my dear Danny, I was very pleased to receive your letter. I think about you constantly. I need you so much. The first thing I do when I go online is check my mail hoping to see your letter. I so enjoy reading your lines; I feel how you feel about me. I can't express my feelings in words, but if we meet, you will see everything in my eyes — my joy and happiness. Sweetheart, when I look at your photos, I imagine our meeting. I want you to know how much you mean to me. I'm truly happy I met you! Your photo evokes in me a real storm of emotions, the main one of which is sincere admiration! When I look at your photo, I remember everything that is beautiful in the world - the shining sun and the restless sea, the glitter of the stars and stormy waterfalls. So you inspire me with your attractive image! A contented look is the product of a prosperous life. I am happy and smile with you) I think that in the next letter you will please me with your photos! I am very pleased to read the letter if it contains your photo! Danny, my love... Your letter came to me as I sat in this internet cafe, thinking about you. You say that I made you feel seen—those are the most important words I could hear. Because I, too, have searched my whole life for someone who would see the real me, without masks, without embellishments. And I think I have found you. You ask when I first felt peace next to someone... You know, I rarely felt this before. More often than not, I was on guard, afraid of being betrayed. But with you, even from a distance, I feel calm. When I read your words, I stop being afraid. And that is a true miracle. If we met, I would want it to be by the water. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the sea or the ocean, the main thing is that we hear the waves, feel the wind and know that time has stood still. I want you to hold my hand at that moment, and we will be silent, because words will be unnecessary. And then we would talk about everything under the sun, and I would look into your eyes and feel like I was home. I'm really looking forward to this moment. You've become very important to me. My sister Saule is preparing for important exams at college; I'm helping her with English. She's very capable, grasps everything quickly. She says she wants to learn Turkish too, dreams of working in the hotel business in Antalya. I support her. My sunshine, you know, you've changed my life so much. You're always in my thoughts. I'm sure God helped us meet; it's His gift. You know, I'm already afraid of losing you, afraid of losing the connection we have. I can't imagine my life without you now. You've brought me so much joy; I trust you completely. I've opened my heart to you and I really want our relationship to stay as pure and bright. Aunt Tanya and Saule send their regards. I'm finishing, waiting for your reply! With hugs, Mariia.

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. I look at your photos and enjoy what I see. You are cool! You are the most beautiful of all, without exaggeration and filters! You can look at your photo for hours without stopping. It's so good that there is an opportunity to see your life through the lens of the lens. To cheer up it is enough to look at your photo. Watching you even from photographs is my most pleasant pastime. Please me more often)) Danny, my love... I reread your letter, and my heart skips a beat with tenderness. You say that my words made you smile over your morning coffee, that you imagine us by the water, where silence and the waves are the only witnesses. I want this moment more than anything in the world. I want us to sit next to each other, silent or talking, watching the sunset and knowing that we are finally together. You say that I have learned to trust again, and that this makes our connection deeper. You are right. After all the pain, I decided not to close myself off, but to reach out. And I am glad that I met you. You ask about Saule - she is preparing for exams and dreams of Antalya. I will tell you more about her when we are together. I want you to know my family. You suggest meeting - on the weekend, by the sea, just to see each other. Danny, I want this. I want you to come, or I come, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is that we finally end up together. 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? Thank you for giving me the opportunity to enjoy your beauty)) The magnetism of this photo is so strong that I am ready to rush and snuggle up to you this minute! I want to be in the same frame with you. You decorate everything and everyone who is near. This photo just asks for a frame and on the wall for daily admiration)) Please me with your photos and I will delight you with my photos! I read your letter, and my heart fills with warmth. You say that I'm not just writing, I'm with you. And I feel the same. Your words about the river, about the dawn, about the silence - they awaken hope in me. I dream of the day when we will sit by the water, silent or talking, and know that we are where we are supposed to be. You talk about my food, about manti and baursaks, about Kazakh watermelon. I will cook everything for you when we meet. We will drink wine, eat, laugh. Your friends said that love should be quiet and deep. I want such love. I want us to be a safe haven for each other. I am really looking forward to your photo from the embankment. 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. Danny, my love... I read your letter and my heart fills with warmth. You say you found peace not in victories, but in the quiet moments we dream of. I'm glad I can give you that. You say you look at the water in Houston and think of the sea. I want us to look at it together one day. Your photos of sunrises are so beautiful. I want to see them. You ask about Saule - she dreams of Antalya, but is currently taking exams. I will pass on your words to her. You say you would like to bring me raspberry tea. I want you to be near. I really look forward to when we meet. 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. I see your photos and confidently declare: you are just a perfect man for me! You are so cute! In this photo you have the gesture of a confident man who achieves everything! Even in the photo you radiate warmth, calmness and confidence! You have not only your appearance, but also your energy - brutal. Your look just screams: here he is - a real man! This photo made my day! I admire it as a painting of a great artist. Can I take this photo to my collection? I will admire and brag to my friends that I have such a macho. Danny, my love... I read your letter and my heart skips a beat. You say you picture me in the dark, sick, and you want to be there to tell me I'm safe. I want you to be there. You say you're working on paperwork, but you stop to just breathe. I'm glad I can give you this peace. You ask when I'm ready to meet. I want to come to you. I need time to save up. I can't say for sure, but I'll do everything to make it happen. You ask about recipes. I'll send you a recipe for meatballs with mashed potatoes. I don't have a photo of my mother's kitchen. She passed away when I was little. I'm really looking forward to meeting you. 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. Danny, my love... I read your letter and my heart skips a beat. You were walking along the Houston waterfront, looking at the water, at the birds. I imagine you there, in the silence. You say that solitude can be strength. I understand. I often sit by the window and watch the sunrise. You ask if I wrote about such moments. No. But I want to write for you. You say you want to sit with me with tea, without plans. I want that. I really look forward to when we meet. 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. Danny, my love... I read your letter, and my heart skips a beat. You say that our meeting is not just a dream, but a story written from the soul. I feel the same. You imagine us sitting by the water, drinking coffee, watching the sunset... I want this. I want you to be near, for us to be silent or to talk, and know that we are finally together. You ask what I will bring. I will bring my heart, my tenderness, and maybe I will bake you something from our kitchen for you to try. I want our meeting to be in a quiet place where we can be alone. Maybe in the morning, when the sun is just rising, and the world has not yet woken up? I am really looking forward to this moment. 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. Danny, my love... I read your letter, and my heart skips a beat. You say you imagine us sitting by the water, drinking tea in silence. I want that. You say my dream about meeting you at the airport is like a scene from a novel. I want it to come true. I'm really looking forward to when we meet. 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! 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. I read your letter and my heart skips a beat. You say you watch the sunset in Houston and imagine our silence. I want us to share it. You say you're nervous about meeting. I am too. But I believe our dream will come true. I'm really looking forward to when we meet. 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, my dear Danny! 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! 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? 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 18, 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 17, 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 22 hours 20 minutes en route Turkish Airlines Operated by Air Astana 5 hours 50 minutes en route 06:50 Apr 18, Sat Astana, NQZ 10:40 Apr 18, Sat Istanbul Novy (Istanbul), IST Transfer in Istanbul 3 hours 30 minutes Turkish Airlines 13 hours en route 14:10 Apr 18, Sat Istanbul Novy (Istanbul), IST 19:10 Apr 18, Sat Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport, IAH 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 only, my long-awaited, my husband 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. I know we're both going through something difficult, but what you're saying gives me hope. Knowing that you see my determination and trust makes me feel like we're building something real, something worth fighting for. You're right—it's not just about travel and money; it's about choosing each other, despite the fear and uncertainty. In answer to your questions, I can confirm that the flight I mentioned is scheduled for April 20th. Flight number TK 1602, departing from Almaty with a layover in Istanbul, and then on to your city. Regarding the visa, I was told I should pick it up in Astana, but I'm not yet entirely sure what steps I need to take to obtain it. I'll confirm all the details with the agency and let you know right away. As for "Marina," she's my friend and colleague. Danny, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your willingness to help. You help me not only with organizing the trip, but in a much deeper sense—you give me faith in the future, in a life worth fighting for. I am immensely grateful for your support and trust. Honey, if you can help me 653 USD, then you will never regret our meeting. I will make you the happiest man in the whole world. I love you very much and want to be near you. My heart, my soul wants you. I'm dying of loneliness. I staked everything I had to be by your side. I won't survive if we don't meet. Please don't break my heart. I promise you that I will make you the happiest man in the whole world. I will be your support for you. I want to share with you all the difficulties of life. I want to give you my heart, my body. 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.
