It is with the deepest sadness and thankfulness for the life he shared that I tell you that today I lost my father, Eugene Choma. He fled the Russian Army from his homeland in Ukraine to lead a life of hardship and adventure and profound love in Canada. The story of his life is too hard to capture here and my heart is too broken to try. I love him deeply and will miss him forever. With his encouragement, I will return to the show quickly, but for now I need to be with my mother who is also deeply heartbroken.
The photo of him holding me as a child remains one of my most cherished possessions, because it shows how I always felt when I saw him.
