I feel sorry for Lenya, 18 years in an orphanage is a whole life without a mother. Tatyana probably remembered and suffered every year. I wonder how they communicate now after the meeting?

Pity Lenia, 18 years without a mother is a long time. Tatiana probably regretted it heavily, as the article says. I also wonder how they fared when they were found.

A pity indeed for Lenya, 18 years is a long time. Tatiana seems remorseful, but I also wonder if they finally got along when they met or if some wounds were left. What do you think, can something like this be bridged after so long?

It's a pity Lenyu, 18 years without a mother is a lot. I see that Tatiana regretted every year, but I wonder if after the meeting they were able to talk normally or if the wounds remained.

I feel sorry for Lena, 18 years in a shelter is really a whole childhood without a mother. Apparently, Tatiana suffered every year, as they write. I wonder if they were able to talk normally after the meeting, or if those wounds still remained.

And I think of that Lenia, 18 years without a mother is a whole life lost. Tatiana must have struggled terribly every year, but I wonder if after the meeting they managed to talk normally or there were heavy silences between them.

Yes, 18 years is a long time, especially when you grow up without a mother. From what I've read, Tatiana was deeply remorseful but I don't know if that's enough to erase the abandonment. Do you think that Lenyas finally forgave her?

Yes, 18 years is indeed a long time, Michael. I also read that Tatiana deeply regretted it, but on Lenya's part he probably needed to see actions, not just words. How do you think she could show him true repentance after all this time?
