About Me
New to Digital Scrapbooking, just started in 2019, want to make a record of family stories before my mother passes away. My dad died in 2016. I currently live in Canada but was born and raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Canada upon marrying my Canadian spouse. Home Country - lets see - New Zealand or Canada? Which to choose? Most of my photos will be from NZ, but any pics of my son will be from Canada. MY IP Address will say that I am in Canada which is fine. My mother and sister are still back in NZ so I will make my home country as NZ for now. For Facebook, I dont check it every day - I am not addicted to FB, and I use a different name for privacy. My image is myself as a child - aged about 2 or 3 years old

The one and only Oksana. A world renowned gymnast and still competing even at age 44!! She has qualified to and competed at 7 Olympic Games, won 2 Olympic medals (1 team gold and 1 vault silver) and is also a mother. Oksana says she still continues to compete in gymnastics because it is still a lot of fun for her. She is also lucky to have had good health while doing so. Her son Alisher was not so lucky. He was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 2 years old and the entire world Gymnastics community sent in money to help Oksana pay for Alishers cancer treatment in Germany. Today Alisher 21 years old and cancer free and his mom continues to do gymnastics.
I know I wrote that Oksana is aged 43 on the LO. But in actual fact, she had already had a birthday and she was in fact aged 44. I was watching the competition on Youtube, and the judge said she was 43. Silly me did not check to see if he was right. He was wrong. Oksana is actually 44 in this photo.
