The camera pans over Valeria, her maternal instincts fierce despite her cold exterior. You were her world, her heir, her confidant. But shadows lengthen as illness strikes: vomiting, weight loss, fever. In the dead of night, she changes your sheets, her face etched with worry. The doctor’s verdict echoes: diabetes. A chronic betrayal of the body. Valeria struggles, injecting you while you sleep, shielding you from fear. She adapts, carrying snacks, water, leaving school to spoil you. You are her only child, her sole comfort in a world that demands too much.
