I thought he already had passed away?
Didn't they do a big story in '94 about her being an orphan?
Then later 'changed' that story saying that the father had left the family
when Oksana was little, then died later?
Am I remembering this wrong?

No. They always said that her father left the family when she was little. She was called an orphan because after her mother died she was alone. I'm sorry to hear that he passed away. I am happy Oksana found him a few years ago and got to know him a bit.

That's sad. :cry:

I'm happy too that Oksana found him and they got to know each other again.

it is very sad. Poor Oksana. Now she really doesn't have any family except for her old granny. And of course, she is no longer with Gene, whose family she regarded as her own. may the earth be like down for him.

I'm sorry for Oksana, but I understood she has a new boyfriend (his first name is Jim, but I forgot what his last name is). I hope she finds comfort in the fact that she did reunite with her father.
