It has been said that the child is the meaning of this life. Today, we celebrate the child, this new life that has been brought into our world.

[signs] I understand your anger. But is this the right place for you? Are you happy here? Do you love him? You've become a woman. I wish the circumstances were different. You know the message I bring.
