"Hi Nina and Greg,
What a wonderful year this has truly been!
I want to take this time to
Thank Nina & Greg and your staff in Belarus for a wonderful year!
Natalia and I will soon be together and it would not have
been possible without you all and your help!
Natalia is the most wonderful, kind and compassionate lady
I have ever met. While we were half a world apart physically our hearts were already
one from the start and to my amazement I found in Natalia a kindred soul.
I had given up hope of ever finding my love of my life many years ago and
had searched fruitlessly for many years.
When Bob first told me about the
agency I was at first most skeptical. Natalia tells me she was also skeptical that such a long distance relationship could work when her friends suggested she sign up as well.
To our amazement, not only have we had a growing relationship,
but we have
found in each other what we thought was not possible to find in anyone.
Kindred hearts and one mindedness and most importantly loving acceptance
and understanding for one another.
Our sense of humor is the same and to be honest I had never met anyone, man or woman with my sense of humor in my life.
Most of my friends have trouble understanding my humor side at
times. This has been most refreshing and Natalia and I have found within each other a strong bond of love and understanding.
The English lessons offered have helped us bridge the language barrier successfully and the translating and letter writing throughout our relationship has been most helpful.
Guys, meeting someone through pictures and letters is a great way to start out and you can build a strong
relationship of understanding and love for each other before the
relationship takes control.
For me it was very VERY important for Natalia
and I to have a meeting of our hearts and minds because I wanted to find, love and marry my soul mate. I had often felt in past dating experiences that the relationships were not deep and emotionally satisfying.
Natalia and I found we were becoming emotionally and deeply in love before we had even met in Minsk. The meeting in Minsk back in September of this
year only confirmed what I already knew in my heart.
I had found my soul
mate, my one and only, Natalia.
For this I am most profoundly grateful!
Her expected immigration to America in January will be the greatest Christmas Gift of my entire life!
We plan to be married in February and off on our adventurous life journey together both through joys and hardships all will be rewarding! I can't imagine today how I lived without her only a year ago.
This would not have been possible without Greg and Nina and all the good
folks who helped Natalia and I both here in America and in Belarus. To all of you Natalia and I wish you a very happy holiday season!
Your Friends,
Pat and Natalia"
