Do you know the joy I feel when I know I will use this suffering?' “Helping others?'” counted. Celia Cogedor has also explained that after meeting her son, she wanted to go to bed because she felt “exhausted”, but that she prepared his favorite meal, “lots of vegetables” and some fish, because he didn't could .eat it. “We'll see if we can eat and the emotions don't stop us,” he admitted.
