She was scared , they had to wait two and a half weeks before they got to hold their delicate daughter. “Holding her for the first time, it was the best feeling ever. I waited two and a half weeks to hold her. It felt so natural and perfect.
When Athena is an adorable three-year-old. She is a miracle, brave baby. Now, She walks, talks, runs, jumps, screams, and just everything a normal toddler does, even the tantrums.

Athena taught me how to be strong. She taught me how to get through the dark times. She saved me. She’s my hero, and she doesn’t even know it.”
