ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan’s Vladislav Goldin, holding a bouquet of flowers, stood alongside his fiancé at Detroit Metropolitan Airport as he waited a little longer for a moment he had been looking forward to for five years.

Goldin reunited with his parents, whom he left in Russia to pursue his dreams, and hugged them in a breathtaking moment.

“When the door opened and I saw them walking to me, it was like I lost all the oxygen in my lungs,” he said.

Goldin’s mother and father could not believe what his life is like at Michigan.
