Dear Sonia, In return for your kind words I shall rip your heart out. Ella's newly acquired Godmother sent her off to her school in Lugansk with gifts of clothes and the most important gift - a Bible.
There Ella read her Bible and made her first and most important life decisions on her own. She decided to seek out a church near her school and she decided to be baptised. In Zaporizhzhya during Winter Vacation her Godmother took her to a Cathedral and on December 31, 2008, Ella was Christened into the Orthodox faith.
There, under the dome and on her knees Ella prayed for the soul of the mother who had abandoned her at birth.
After a lifetime of living in orphanages with no family she prayed for the salvation of her mother.
If your friends can't see this then we are all blind.
David
