Thank you, Christina, for being there for Finley. I watched your video with tears. You are the best mother in the world. I have also faced the same challenges as you. It's so hard to express; only mothers who are on the same page can understand it. I wish you strength and the best for your lovely daughter. I believe one day Finley will grow up, be in a good place, and reward you for what you sacrificed for her.
