The story of Lesya s love

I would like to share my story of love with you, my dear reader.

Here goes...........
Back to the summer 1997. I was 19 years old, when I met Him
I used to spend my summer holidays at the shore of the Azov sea with my cousin Julia. I'm  not a good swimmer at all. I just adore to watch the sea. I like the sea waves. I like the sunrise and sunset above the sea so much.
The possibility to meet my future husband was 1: 1 000 000.  It was a real destiny for us to meet. The destiny put us at the same place at the same time.
So, in that unusual summer I have been spending my holidays with my cousin Julia at the seashore ( as we did it many years perviously).
My future husband went to the Azov sea with his friends. It was very long way for them to get the Azov sea ( the distance from Belarus to the Azov sea is about 1500 km by car). My future husband was not keen to travel so far away from his native country just to have holidays near the sea, because he always prefered fishing, walking in the forest to the holidays at the seashore. His friends tried many times to persuade him to go with them, because they knew my husband had no chance to see the sea ( he was 28 years old at that time and he really has never seen the sea).
At long last he has agreed with his friends to travel to my native country Ukraine and to my favourite place to spend his holidays.
He says, he still remember the strange feeling of fate in the heart. He felt that something very important is going to happen.
Some people can feel the sign or influence of the fate in their lives.
The destiny has put my future husband and me together at the same place. He and I lived in the same hotel, on the same floor. My future husband has noticed me much earlier than I have noticed him, but neighter of us dared to start the converstation.
One day when  cousin Julia and I were on our  way from the beach to the hotel, my future husband with his friends came to us and started to introduce politely each other. It was very nice to meet them and have a talk. Of course, we have already seen each other in the hotel, because we were neighbours, but this time we tended to be the good friends.
My first impression about my future husband was: "He is so strong and serious... even his smile was serious. The sunglasses he wears so suit him!!!!"
To tell the truth appearance of my future husband was close to the ideal appearance of the man in my dreams. The ideal man for me is a clever, polite, serious, sensitive, tall, good-looking  man. Owing to the destiny, my husband possessed all these features. So, I was more than happy that He and I got on well together!
My cousin Julia,  friends of my future husband and I spent the rest of our holidays together. We all enjoyed the company of each other so much. We walked together along the seashore, we had a dinner together, we sang the songs under the trees in evenings together.
One of the friends of my future husband could play  the guitar very well, so he played and he sang, we all sang as well.
These holidays I will remember till the end of my life because they brought me immense happiness.
Our friendship  was innocent, strong, sincere and pure. There was no "sex at the first night" or something like that.
The true romance was in the air. The moments we shared were looked like a fairy tale.
Three days before our departure we both my future husband and I have realised that we both fell deeply in love. We both got the true love as could ever exist on the Earth! We swore each other that we keep in touch despite the huge distance between us!
When  the day of the departure has come, he said that he will call me immediately after his returning to Belarus.
I could not describe my hapiness, when I received the first call from my sweetheart. He told me that he is going to visit me and my family very soon. I was amazed and pleasantly shocked about the ideas he had towards me!
My mother has already noticed that I was in love, because my happiness has been going "over the top". My thoughts were with him day and night.  I was literally "flying in the sky". The world was so coloured for me!!! I loved him and I loved life!
It is difficult to describe the feelings of true love by words, but I hope you will undetrstand me if you have ever been in love yourself.
So, we continued to call each other by phone, we send the long letters to each other through the "snail mail" ( it is the system when you write your letters by pen and then send them through the post office). The Internet was not widely used at that time.
Very soon in the one of the first letters he asked me: "Will you marry me?"
He knew, that I should study at the University for the next three years. But he wrote he was ready to wait me for 3 years while I will have finished my University. My God, he was so loving, caring, reliable and faithful!!!!
He has visited my city and my family as he promised to do. Ha was introduced to my parents, brother and other relatives.
We spent fantastic moments in my country together.
Six months later, I went to meet him in his beautiful country. I have never been travelling so far on my own. It was very nice experience to have a long trip by train to my darling. He gave me the unforgettable holidays in the Belarus, showing the nicest places of the nature of Belarus. We were "on cloud nine" from the happiness and love!
As you can guess, during 3 years ( while I have been studying at the University) we visited each other two times a year. During 3 years we sent each other the wonderful letters, which I still keep in the special box.
Right after I have finished the University we get married. The wedding was in Belarus. We were the happiest couple in the world. Many friends can't still believe that it was possible for us to keep our love despite the distance. They also think that we had the very rare and interesting development of our relationship and love.
The distance helped us to undetrstand once more that there were no obstacles for our love to be broken. Moreover, the distance and separation have made our love even stronger.
We still love each other. Our marriage is successful and happy more than 12 years, it is true.
I think I'm lucky, because the fate gave me the chance to experience all stages of true love:
- the innocent mental love:
- the passionate physical love;
- the mature and the strongest love, that is getting more presious day by day and year by year.

Eventually, it was the brightest and the happiest moment in my life, indeed.
