“He has made me feel that I am stronger than I imagined, that I am more special than I imagined, he has made me feel that I am the best because I am his mother, because he chose me and he is such a special child (...) It excites me, it makes me feel, it's like fresh air and it's like a squeeze for the heart. It's the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me. Being the mother of this child, who I also feel is such a special child, is the best thing that ever happened to me,” she shared.
