Hello. This one girl joined the exchage program and came to my school. She's from the ukrane and has become a very very good friend. She has to go soon and I'm really gonna miss her... I wanted to give something to her before she leaves (wednesday). I thought a farewell in russian (Or ukranian if you're so brave) would make for a good thing to give her. So could one of you translate this short letter for me? I hear that things just don't have the same meaning unless you say it in their first language .

Natielia, It has been a great year and I've enjoyed getting to know you and learn more about your culture. I have grown to like you and am going to miss you very much. I wish you could stay longer, but I know you have to go back home and be with family and finish school there. I'll not ever forgit you and I hope that one day we meet again, even if it means me go there when I am in the military on my vacation. Thank you for listening, caring and being a good friend.

Someone translating this would mean the world to me... Thank you all for your consideration.
