In Memory of Our Son on His Birthday

 

 

 

 

 

Our son, Vyeshka, was born on this day, October 3, back in 2004. He left this world in 2019, but his spirit is ever with us. He is middle-aged in this photo and was just recovering from one of many surgeries, including a skin graft. Thanks to great doctors, he recovered and went on to spend many more years with us. Here’s to you, my guardian angel!

Byelka: A Tribute to Our Beloved Daughter

Our beautiful daughter, Byelka, died nine years ago today.

We have not forgotten–nor will we ever forget–the joy she brought us in the eleven years and nine months she shared with us. Her spirit, and the spirit of her brother, Vyeshka, watch over us in this life. We find comfort in knowing that when our time comes to leave this world, they will be there to greet us.

Celebrating a Beautiful Life – Vyeshka

Five years ago, on February 15th, our son Vyeshka passed away. He was a “rough-and-tumble” child and a gentle, attention-seeking old man. We held him in our hands as he drew his last breath at age 14 years, 4.5 months.

Today, we celebrate his life. The love he gave us will live beyond the end of the universe. What a joy it is to know we have him as a guardian angel watching out for us!

Here’s our son as a child:
