Duke,

Thank you so much for your kind words.

I'm a lucky woman. I have two homes: Ukraine (I was born there and will always love that country) and America (my new land which I love a lot).

But what more important for me is American people who I've met and who have been my friends for 8 years. This is my America to me. Not governments, not politicians, but simple people with kind hearts.

I was blessed when I met Wayne. He introduced American culture to me, and it was awesome.

I still have many things to learn but I am very proud of myself because I'm doing just fine.

I am happy to be here. This is a great country with lots of opportunities!!!

Take care of yourself,
Alona
