I traveled again to Ukraine to see her
and while there, hired a translator and set up a meeting to discuss marriage with her father. The meeting was scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. Her father (Igor) told me in advance that 11 a.m. was fine but that he had another meeting and would need to leave for it around noon.

I thought I could say everything I wanted to say in 25 or 30 minutes so I accepted.
I wanted to tell Igor more about myself, what my family is like (I may have even brought to the meeting a picture or two), the depth of the relationship that I felt I had with his daughter, my attitude about marriage, and why I thought I could have a successful marriage which would bring happiness to his daughter.
