Maxim Naumov, the figure skater who lost both of his parents in the DC plane crash earlier this year, has broken his silence in what happened with a heartbreaking statement on social media.
The 23-year-old’s parents, Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, were among the fatalities when an American Airlines plane crashed with an army helicopter back in January.
Maxim participated in the Legacy on Ice event on March 2, honoring all 67 who died, and after the event took to Instagram to reflect on how his life has changed since that day.
Sharing pictures from his emotional Legacy on Ice performance, Maxim said: ‘I am truly at a loss for words to express the depth of my gratitude and love for each and every one of you.
‘Every embrace, message, call, and prayer has touched me in ways I can’t fully describe, and I am beyond grateful for your kindness and support.
‘Your love has filled my heart so profoundly that it brings tears to my eyes. The generosity and compassion you have shown have given me the strength to keep moving forward, one day at a time.
‘This means more to me than I could ever put into words. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for standing by me during the most difficult time of my life.’
