Who could even imagine that two complete strangers from opposite sides of the world that do not even speak the same language could meet online and fall in love. Is this even possible? Yes, it is not only possible but this is exactly how it happened for Bryan and Anna.

Bryan's struggle to find love in a marriage that had completely fallen apart after a length of 12 years came to an end when his wife decided to leave him and his 2 children with a mortgage he could not afford.

One day Bryan returned home from work to discover a moving truck parked in his driveway.

2 days earlier...

Bryan returned home after a long motorcycle ride with his son. They had spent the evening with a friend of his that invited them for a ride on his new Harley. Bryan and his son enjoyed a great ride on the Harley and they were a little late in returning home. Bryan`s wife, of 12 years was up waiting for them.

She was visibly upset as she glared at Bryan and yelled at his son to go to bed. While his 14 year old son walked slowly to his room with his head down she proceeded to ask Bryan if he was ready to move on.

In complete shock, Bryan told her that he did not feel up to this discussion at the time but little did he know that she had already begun the process of changing all of their lives.

Today she showed her true intent...

After his wife removed approximately $40,000 worth of furniture and household items, Bryan was left with a nearly empty house in the company of his 2 children and a computer.

The struggle was over and a new life was about to begin.

With much effort, Bryan pulled himself together and began working on starting his new life as a single father. Bryan did not have the time or the money to enter the dating scene so he began to seek out new friends online via social networking sites.

One day Bryan received an email from a friend suggesting a new social networking website that he had discovered. Bryan found the website interesting so he decided to sign up on the website and began searching for new friends that were nearby. But unfortunately he had no luck.

He even broadened the search to include the entire United States but it seemed everyone he met was not who they claimed to be or they had other motivations. Every conversation seemed to lead to some sob story indicating that they were in need of money. One woman was even bold enough to ask him for his Bank account information.

One evening Bryan decided to broaden the scope of his search to other countries. He had some friends who were from Russia so he decided to look for someone he could correspond with in Russia. He didn`t know the Russian Language but he was aware of translation tools online that could help him translate.

The list of profiles seemed endless. They were filled with words written in a language that Bryan did not understand and contained photos of women that were probably exaggerations at best.

Suddenly Bryan stopped on one profile in particular and all time seemed to stop as he gazed on the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on.

The profile was written in Russian but he was able to use an online translation tool to translate the profile. Very little information was included in the profile. It only showed brief information about her employment along with the region that she lived in Russia. Her name was Anna.

In a leap of faith and not knowing if this beautiful woman would get a message if he sent one, Let alone if she would even give him the time of day so Bryan decided to say hello.

The message was brief and Bryan typed "Privet (Hello) Anna!"

Without another thought he submitted the message into the universe of possibility.

Bryan did not know it yet but his life was about to change again. This time it would be for the better.

Meanwhile, halfway around the world in Russia...

Anna did not know what to expect when she returned home from work to discover an email from a stranger. She viewed his online profile and he somehow looked vaguely familiar, though she was quite certain they had never met before because he lived in the United States and she spent her entire life in Russia. She saw no harm in replying so she decided to send a brief response, "??????, Bryan! ??? ?????" (Hello, Bryan! How are you?).

This is how the story began and continues to this day for Anna and Bryan. You can visit http://www.helloanna.us to learn how Bryan and Anna used online translation tools and Skype to establish a relationship online that led to a new life for Anna, Bryan and their 4 children.
