Sofia

When I looked at her for the first time, I could feel the most pure and infinite love I had ever experienced. Her face, her little hands caressing my face, everything was beautiful. I named her Sofia, in honor of my mother, but her birth as well as joy brought me sadness, because my baby was born with a heart disease and was going to need a heart transplant over time.

I stopped working to dedicate myself to Sofia's care and seek medical help to find a compatible heart for her. I only live and breathe to achieve her happiness and my faith strengthens me, because there is no love greater than the love of a mother.

My prayers were heard and today my girl lives a happy life, she can play and run like the other children, she goes to school and in her future I see a full life, although she will always need a lot of care.

Love is unconditional surrender, and when you have children you sacrifice and fight for their well being. Their happiness is your happiness.
