Hi !!! Thank you for your new letter !!! I am glad that our
communication continues, and I can see your letters when I have a
break at work !! Thank you so that you show me that you are interested
in our communication. I really appreciate that! , so in my
previous letter I promised you to write more about my family. I only
managed to write about the fact that I have a mom and a sister. But
this is not entirely true. I still have a nephew!
This is a good
boy. The son of my older sister. He is 9 years old and his name is
Yuri !! My sister named him after Yuri Gagarin. I think you know the
name of the First Cosmonaut ?? Yes, I do not have a father, because he
left my mother, me and my sister more than 20 years ago. I was then 6
years old, and my sister was 10 years old. Our mother raised us alone.
She worked as a milkmaid at the Dairy Farm in our village. She got up
at 3:30 AM in the morning, had breakfast and went to milk the cows.
She returned at about 7:00 AM in the morning, woke me and my sister to
get ready for school. My mother never had free time, but at the same
time I always knew that she loves me and my sister. My sister replaced
my mother in many ways, because my mother worked hard to bring us up
alone. I was very lucky with my sister. Usually children in the family
often argue over toys or some other reason, but my sister never
offended me. She always braided my braids when we were going to
kindergarten. It was so sweet that even now I am writing this letter
to you and smiling. It is a pity that she, too, was not very lucky
with her husband. Her husband often drinks large quantities of
alcohol. He even hit her a couple of times in the past, but my sister
could not find the strength to leave him and start a new life. I do
not blame her for this. This is her choice, but I can confess that
their relationship is one of the reasons why I do not want to build a
relationship with a Russian man !! And, of course, the example of my
father, when he left my mother with two young children, left an
indelible impression on my heart! Is it possible that Russian men lack
a special gene that is responsible for family values ?? I do not
know this for sure, but I can say that my mother and sister are
wonderful women who appreciate such a thing as a family hearth and, of
course, they condemn more happiness! It is only a pity that in Russia
there are hundreds of thousands of similar examples when men leave
their wives and children. Moreover, there are those men who beat not
only their wives, but also children !!! This is terrible!!! And the
terrible thing is that the laws of my country do not always protect
the rights of women who are subjected to violence, which is probably
why men here feel too unpunished. Now some activists are trying to
make the law "on domestic violence" finally adopted in my country.
This law should protect all family members from violence, but at the
moment there are many opponents of this law. And, of course, I can’t
understand why my country encourages domestic violence! Personally, I
do not want to suffer from my beloved man. I want a happy relationship
when a man and a woman respect and appreciate the arcs of a friend. I
want my man and I to please each other in everything. It’s so nice
when a man can just give flowers for his beloved woman. And a woman
can arrange a romantic dinner without any reason. Do you agree with
me?? I think that happiness is in the details. I wake up in the
morning and the first thing I go to the window. I open the curtains
and let the light into my apartment. I rejoice at that sunny bunny,
which, bouncing off my mirror, jumps onto my pillow. Then I go to this
very mirror, look at my reflection and smile at myself !! I say out
loud to myself: "Good morning, OLGA !!!" No, no, I'm not crazy.
Of
course, I live alone in my apartment, and I do not have enough of a
loving man nearby, but I am not crazy. , if it’s not difficult
for you, then please try to start your morning by wishing you a good
day and smiling at your reflection. You will see that your day will be
more pleasant than always. This is a very simple secret how to make
yourself happier. From my childhood my mother taught me this. As I
told you, my mother had no simple life, but she always smiled. She
never despaired, and she taught me to look at life positively !!
, now I have to apologize, because unfortunately I can’t
continue my story about my family now. My break is over and I have to
work! I will continue my story about this in my next letter. I will
also try to tell you a little more about my childhood and youth. I
wish you a good day. Your Olga
