"I'm sure napaka-fulfilling na trabaho na maging ina. Pero para piliting mangyari 'yun or ma-feel na hindi ako parang binigyan ng gift na ganun? It's a blessing from the Lord talaga, nakalagay naman 'yan, children are gift from God. (I'm sure being a mother is a very fulfilling job. But to force that to happen or to feel like I wasn't given such a gift? It's really a blessing from the Lord, it's written there, children are a gift from God.)"
