One of the most emotional moments when we will be mothers or fathers for the first time is when we tell our own parents the good news. Social networks are full of videos announcing their pregnancy to future grandparents, who steal our hearts to see their reactions.
Now, can you imagine having to live that moment again and again? A pregnant woman shares a video where she repeatedly announces to her mother with Alzheimer's that she will be a grandmother, with whom she seeks to raise awareness about this disease and show that everything has a positive side.
Christine Stone is pregnant with her first baby. Naturally like any first-time mom, she has filled her with happiness sharing the news of her pregnancy. However, there is one person who has been told on many occasions: his mother, Setsuko Harmon, 77, who suffers from Alzheimer's.
In an interview for Huffington Post, Christina comments that she has given her mother the news multiple times, "too many to keep track"She explains that it is very sad but at the same time very pleasant to see her mother's tender reaction every time she finds out she will be a grandmother.
And it is that when suffering from the disease, for Setsuko it is really as if it was the first time that they give him that fantastic news. Christine decided to record a video to show that although the illness has given them sadness, it has also allowed them to relive that emotional moment over and over again, checking that it is possible to find the positive even in negative situations.
His mother's reaction every time he tells her is so tender and genuine that she has touched the hearts of many people. The way in which her face lights up with joy when she knows she will be a grandmother is truly moving.
"I wanted to have a video for my daughter to see how excited her grandmother was about her arrival and how much she is loved by her"says Christine.
She hopes that her video will inspire other people to see the disease with new eyes, and to motivate them to call and visit their parents, because they will not be with them forever.
