In a turn of events, Maria’s family was forced to step in and assist her in the raising of Christian and Pau. The retired mom passed away in 2009, only getting to enjoy a few short years with her boys.
Maria’s brother Ricardo commented: “I think she has done this too late in life … but now they are here. We love these beautiful boys.”
Not only that, but Pilar Pinto, a resident of Cadiz, where Maria lived, provided an update on how life is going for Christian and Pau.
“They are being well taken care of and are in great shape,” he said. “I see them here often in town.”
Pinto added: “God didn’t let her enjoy her children very much. He should have given her more time.”
For her part, Maria remained resolute to the very end with regards to her decision to have children later in life.
Such a beautiful story. I don’t know about you, but I think all women should reserve the right to decide when they want to have children.
