I am originally from St. Petersburg, Russia. I met my future husband when I was 2 years old; we celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary in September, 2009. In 1991 our son Anton Sviridenko was born - totally blind with several brain malformations. He is a talented musician: http://sites.google.com/site/santonmusic Anton plays several instruments. He takes piano lessons since he was 4 years old, had 7 years of Suzuki training in Violin, and learned how to play pan-flute, quena, accordion, guitar and other instruments on his own.
