<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-675" src="http://blog.tau2.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/olga_1.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="376" /></p>
<p>My family is&nbsp;my&nbsp;close ones: my&nbsp;daughter and my&nbsp;parents.</p>
<p>I&nbsp;am the only child. My&nbsp;mother is&nbsp;Lithuanian, my&nbsp;father is&nbsp;Byelorussian. He&nbsp;served in&nbsp;the military and&nbsp;I was born in&nbsp;Potsdam in&nbsp;Germany. I&nbsp;spent my&nbsp;childhood in&nbsp;Lithuania, then moved to&nbsp;Belarus, but in&nbsp;my&nbsp;heart&nbsp;I still miss the Baltic Sea shores&#8230;</p>
<p>I have wonderful parents, the Byelorussian TV&nbsp;paid them a&nbsp;visit several times. But to&nbsp;me, the most important thing is&nbsp;that they are with me&nbsp;and at&nbsp;47&nbsp;I&nbsp;am still utterly happy to&nbsp;be&nbsp;called &lsquo;our little girl Olyushka&rsquo;. I&nbsp;treasure this! We&nbsp;like to&nbsp;work together in&nbsp;our garden. For many years my&nbsp;father has been growing ginseng, he&rsquo;s into gardening and bee keeping.</p>
<p>I look a&nbsp;lot like my&nbsp;father, but in&nbsp;my&nbsp;personality the female side has &laquo;won&raquo;. At&nbsp;work, I&nbsp;can be&nbsp;a&nbsp;woman of&nbsp;principle, demanding and reliable. But in&nbsp;a&nbsp;relationship I&nbsp;am romantic, sentimental and vulnerable. Both at&nbsp;work and in&nbsp;my&nbsp;relationships it&nbsp;is&nbsp;the sense of&nbsp;humor that&nbsp;I inherited from my&nbsp;father, which saves&nbsp;me. My&nbsp;sense of&nbsp;humor helps me&nbsp;a&nbsp;lot.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-680" src="http://blog.tau2.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/olga_3.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>My work has also affected my&nbsp;personality and the way&nbsp;I interact with people. I&nbsp;am a&nbsp;music teacher, I&nbsp;love my&nbsp;work and will never want any other job. For twenty five years now&nbsp;I have been working with little children. Children are the most innocent and rewarding audience. I&nbsp;learn a&nbsp;lot from them. There are a&nbsp;lot of&nbsp;wonderful people among my&nbsp;colleagues who can be&nbsp;counted as&nbsp;my&nbsp;close ones. I&nbsp;can always rely on&nbsp;them and, in&nbsp;turn, I&nbsp;will always help them out.</p>
<p>I live with my&nbsp;25&nbsp;year old daughter Violetta, she is&nbsp;my&nbsp;only child. We&nbsp;are getting ready to&nbsp;celebrate her wedding in&nbsp;October. Violetta is&nbsp;my&nbsp;best friend. She wants very much to&nbsp;make me&nbsp;happy and it&nbsp;is&nbsp;thanks to&nbsp;her that&nbsp;I registered on&nbsp;TAU2. We&nbsp;also have a&nbsp;family pet, our cat Musik. He&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;very special cat. He&nbsp;is&nbsp;our blessing!</p>
<p>Right now our family is&nbsp;not very big, but it&nbsp;is&nbsp;rather close-knit and solid. Our motto is&nbsp;&laquo;All for one, one for all!&raquo;. We&nbsp;have relatives living in&nbsp;Lithuania and Ireland. We&nbsp;do&nbsp;not get together with them as&nbsp;often as&nbsp;we&nbsp;would like, but, thanks to&nbsp;the internet, we&nbsp;are in&nbsp;touch daily.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-678" src="http://blog.tau2.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/olga_2.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="337" /></p>
<p>My classmates and college mates are among my&nbsp;friends with whom&nbsp;I keep in&nbsp;close contact for many years. We&nbsp;love to&nbsp;get together and to&nbsp;talk about things. Those are very precious moments when one can go&nbsp;back to&nbsp;one&rsquo;s childhood and youth&#8230;</p>
<p>To me, the &laquo;ideal family&raquo; means harmony in&nbsp;everything. I&nbsp;am a&nbsp;rather flexible person and can listen to&nbsp;the reasonable feedback in&nbsp;a&nbsp;relationship. When people love each other, then caring for each other is&nbsp;a&nbsp;joy. Is&nbsp;this possible? I&nbsp;believe it&nbsp;is! I&nbsp;am longing for that warm feeling in&nbsp;my&nbsp;heart&#8230;</p>
<div>In&nbsp;life we&nbsp;often search for ideal and measure with stupid yardsticks.<br />
We want to&nbsp;believe in&nbsp;fairy tales and wait for a&nbsp;prince on&nbsp;the white horse&mdash;<br />
And end up&nbsp;lonely instead&#8230;<br />
But maybe we&nbsp;need to&nbsp;just live.<br />
And every day, by&nbsp;burning a&nbsp;little of&nbsp;yourself,<br />
Share this warmth with someone<br />
Without asking for love in&nbsp;return&#8230;<br />
Yes, it&rsquo;s important to&nbsp;remember<br />
That if&nbsp;you want to&nbsp;get something, then don&rsquo;t forget to&nbsp;give it&nbsp;first away,<br />
Because a&nbsp;ship can&rsquo;t dock<br />
If there&rsquo;s no&nbsp;place for it&nbsp;to&nbsp;dock&#8230;</div>
