A lifetime love with women who not only knew but accepted both men for who and what they were.
Fedir often didn’t know what to make of his independent-minded daughters by marriage, but he loved being a grandfather and already had grand plans for the children.
Oxana didn’t tell him, but she had plans, too, and she knew exactly what each grandchild needed for the future. Love.
Just as she had done her best to make sure both her sons realized their loves, she would do whatever it took to ensure each of her grandchildren knew true love, as well.
Fedir could plan all the machinations he wanted, but in the end? Love would triumph.
Just as it had for her children.
