Do you believe in miracles? I came to believe when I turned to the matchmaking agency Jaroslavna at the end of 2019. Olga and Tatiana met me warmly, like family, and I found myself talking openly straight away.

But things did not go to plan. I came to Jaroslavna looking for my own other half, and found happiness for my daughter instead. I showed the agency a photograph of my daughter Veronica, although she was not even in Ukraine at the time. Tatiana and Olga offered to introduce her to Garrett, a young doctor from America with a promising career.

One thing did not fit: Garrett was flying to Kyiv for a week, and Veronica was due to spend that week in Italy. But if my children were meant to meet, an angel arranged it for the best. My daughter flew to Kyiv earlier than planned and made it to that decisive meeting with Garrett.

After that, they managed to see each other even during the quarantine, and they were in touch constantly. Then 2021 became our year. The three of us saw in the New Year by the tree in Kyiv, and Garrett proposed to my daughter.
