happydancer119 and hannah are the same person. i think i’ll comment as both happydancer119 and hannah and elena “yelena” mukhina, i’ll miss you so much! God is with you and He made you for a specific and perfect reason! He made your coach but your coach crossed the line I like him anyway
I’m sorry for you. Being disabled made you an invalid in the Soviet Union but when the Soviet Union perished you were still an invalid until 2006…when you passed away.
I am 13…I am experiencing puberty but not the enemy within…The video about Elena “Yelena” Mukhina said that she was a tall and petite young lady. I am not trying to call you an invalid, Yelena, but I am sorry for your loss and I’m sorry you were disabled. You were a beautiful and tall and petite young lady, like me.
May God bless you and may God let you rest in peace.
