“Do you really need her like this?” people kept asking her mother. “She will die soon! Look, those parents left such a child in an orphanage and now they will live happily. You can’t imagine the burden of raising a sick child, especially when you already have a healthy daughter. Imagine how hard it will be for her. How embarrassed she will feel of having such a sister.” Instead of encouraging the young mother, it seemed like everyone had conspired and wanted her to leave the child like a piece of meat.

Giorgi remembers his mother, but he remembers only one thing – how she lay in the coffin and how everyone cried loudly. After that, he stopped talking, and for the past 13 years, only his grandmother and sister Mariam can understand him now. Mariam doesn’t remember their mother, and perhaps it’s for the best, as their mother passed away five days after giving birth without coming into senses or embracing her daughter.

“Nina began to suffocate – I heard her wheezing. I did everything possible to save my daughter, to help her breathe, but nothing helped. She stopped breathing, started turning blue. Her little hands became weak, and her fingers began to freeze… Nina’s heart stopped… Oh God! I know what hell looks like!” On that day, Nina almost died… her heart stopped and while the ambulance was taking her to the hospital, her brain shut down. Subsequently, Nina lost her vision and is now on life support. For 2 years now, the little beauty has been in the palliative care unit of the hospital, and doctors cannot make a prognosis for when her mother will finally manage to embrace her disease-ridden daughter. They shrug their shoulders and say – “Pray.”

The scoundrel husband abandoned the beautiful 20-year-old Sofia as soon as he found out that his son, Giorgi, was infected with a deadly disease in the hospital! Now he pays 100 lari in alimony and lives for his pleasure! The mother dedicated the best years of her life to her child. Love knows no boundaries! Self-sacrifice! Only mothers know what that is! Giorgi was born premature and developed sepsis due to the negligence of doctors, which affected the baby’s brain. Because of the infection!

When little David has seizures and starts foaming at the mouth, his mother Ruzana asks God that it not be the end! Doctors still cannot understand how David manages to live with brain damages incompatible with life. He cannot walk or talk, often cries and moans. Someone should be with him every second, holding his hand or talking to him. Recently, his eyesight has started getting poor, and his biggest fear is being alone without his mother, father, or sister.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with my daughter. Why she swells up, why pus comes out of her eyes and nose… We have been going to doctors for 2 years, had many tests and surgeries, but nothing helps I look at her and my heart breaks… she’s so cheerful, restless… she walks, chatters, laughs, but in a matter of seconds her face can swell up, she writhes in pain and cries.”
