“I am a happy person, responsible, and work hard all the time. Life is beautiful. I enjoy when I see the sun, I enjoy when I see rain, I enjoy when I see the moon, I enjoy the cold weather, the hot weather, the flowers, everything. That’s why I am happy to wake up this morning to continue life. When I lost my mother– when she passed away, it was very hard for me. And it’s still hard right now, 23 years [later]. We have flowers at home for her. We have a picture next to my bed, and we remember her all the time. I’m talking to her every day.”
