Gorgeous pic of Max and his beautiful parents, Zhenya and Vadym at U.S. Nationals this weekend.
It's a lovely 2019 photo of Max and his parents in Lake Placid, which Max posted on Instagram back then.

I've been thinking that if or when Max returns to the ice, I hope journalists will be tactful and not have every other question be about the crash and his very public loss. As figure skating fans, we knew and appreciated Max and his skating long before this tragedy. I see Max as a nice person and a beautiful skater, not as "someone who lost his parents." I fear the general public will look at him that way now, though. I would want journalists to ask him why he still loves skating, his program choices, his goals, his mindset, etc, and yes, what his parents did for him. Please, don't ask him too often about the crash specifically. We can only hope. 
I am feeling protective of Max and all the other figure skaters who have lost friends and family. May their wishes be respected and may they be surrounded by love.

I too worry about Max. At 23, it will be very hard for him to handle all the real life details of burying his parents, living life alone and being thrust into adulthood with all its responsibilities. I hope that he has best friends to love and support him and responsible, caring adults to help him navigate his way through his new normal. All of this takes a lot of time to accomplish and adjust to before you can really think of your own life again. Mostly, I hope there are good souls who will take him under their wings and make his burdens a bit lighter while he finds his way forward.I've been thinking that if or when Max returns to the ice, I hope journalists will be tactful and not have every other question be about the crash and his very public loss.
