This interview is so genuine on both sides. I teared up when Mrs Douglas teared up. One of life's toughest jobs is being a good/supportive parent. God bless them all.

I can’t think of a more deserving woman to be graced with motherhood! Happiness is what she reminds me of, you can’t help but feel the radiance of her joy! Congratulations to both parents and especially the grandparents!
