My dear friend, hello!

Здравствуй, Бред!

Thank you for your letter!

How are you?

As I can feel your letter – it`s painful for you.

Dear Brad, don`t worry! Yes, I understand your pine for your Love. That always hurts, – and for a long time. But, – don`t despair of it. You must have lived out that.

Time is cure-all. I know.

Though, I`m not quite sure – it`s good or not (about cure-all) – when a living, bleeding wound becomes a painless, nice picture in memory; – it means, that one more bit of heart has died, one more drop of life has left us. Such is life. – The cost of life (real life) is suffering.

Probably, I`m talking banality. If it seems to you so – oh, treat it with humour. But if you`re in no mood for laughter – look! – (devoted to you)

The sun is shining brightly,

The Earth is turning still.

My friend, cheer up! – smile lightly!

Forget your nightmare`s thrill.

The spring will come tomorrow

And bring with it the joy,

And drive away your sorrow, -

Don`t worry, dear boy!

(it`s my second step in poetical English. From serial: `Learn to use English words`)

What about me – I believe that happy dreams will come true too, that the spring will come soon and bring with it something wonderful, – new impressions, new life, new love – indeed, why not?

My dear Sasha has returned from the Army. He was discharging this `sacred duty` during two years far away from home. I was worried about him, because nowadays are very uneasy for our country. I didn`t see him since 22.12.88. But soon he will be here. I`m so happy! I begin to knit sweater for him. I don`t like to knit, but for my brother – I`ll do all in my power. Do you have brother or sister?

You write, that you maybe will not return to Canada. You don`t afraid of nostalgia for motherland? Do you ever feel homesickness? Do you miss your parents? What is your nationality? /if this notion exists in America./

By the way, what is your native language – English or French? Mine is Buryat language, because I`m not Russian, I`m Buryat. But my second language (Russian) is native for me, even I know it better than the first, because my education (from the first class of school) was only in Russian. At home we usually talked at mixture of these both languages.
