00:00If there are special occasions, like Matik, Mayflowers,

00:05but also the beautiful flowers,

00:09we will dedicate it to our loved ones.

00:13These traditions, where did it start?

00:16According to studies,

00:18flowers are used in different ways since ancient times in Egypt,

00:22more than 100,000 years ago,

00:25until it was passed on to different generations.

00:29And now, in our country,

00:31giving flowers has different meanings.

00:34It is used to show love,

00:38as a gift,

00:40or to show affection.

00:42So tonight, join me and our wonder, Gina,

00:47who visited a special person in her life.

00:52In 2012, I met Gina in a news coverage.

00:56How did we meet?

00:58I interviewed your brother.

01:01Yes.

01:01Because he was a board passer.

01:03I even messaged you and asked for your help.

01:07I didn't know how to approach them,

01:10because even to buy diapers and milk,

01:12we were really poor at that time.

01:14So when I messaged you,

01:17you kept replying to me.

01:20Okay, I will send him milk.

01:22But I didn't expect that you would be the one to give me milk.

01:25When I saw you,

01:27you were outside in the air.

01:29Yes, maybe in the first round.

01:30I remember that.

01:31Because I saw the biscuit.

01:34Gina's daughter, Kayla,

01:37was diagnosed with cerebral palsy,

01:39a disease that affects the ability of a person to move,

01:43including their posture and balance.

01:46That's why from the pool,

01:48their mother was hospitalized.

01:51Gina is a simple housewife

01:53and her husband is a construction worker.

01:56That's why it's hard for her husband

01:58to meet Kayla's needs.

02:02But despite her husband's efforts,

02:05Kayla's needs were met.

02:09She came back to life in 2016

02:12due to complications in her condition.

02:15She's about to die.

02:17I told her,

02:19you're okay now.

02:21Mama is okay.

02:23I accepted it.

02:27It's painful.

02:29You did everything, right?

02:31Yes.

02:32I took care of her for 13 years.

02:35At first, I said I wouldn't be able to take care of her.

02:38Of course, I went around the world for her.

02:43I'm so happy.

02:48Just a few months later,

02:50since Kayla passed away,

02:52their youngest child, Keshianna, followed

02:55due to her global developmental delay.

02:59Even though it was an amazing coincidence

03:01that Gina remained strong for her family.

03:06How are you?

03:07Is the pain still there?

03:08Yes, Mama.

03:09It's really here.

03:10It's like a lifetime.

03:12That's good because you have two children

03:13and they're still together.

03:14Yes.

03:15You even messaged the IFN.

03:17Yes, because I said,

03:20the people who came to me before,

03:23I want to thank them personally.

03:26At that time, life was really hard, Mama.

03:28Yes.

03:29But how are you now?

03:30Now, it's a bit painful, Mama.

03:32What did they do to you?

03:34Did they guide you?

03:35Yes, Ma'am.

03:38They're angels.

03:39They're your angels.

03:40Yes, Ma'am.

03:41You're one of the ones who helped Kayla a lot.

03:46You're the one who always needs help.

03:49Yes, because if you know who really needs it,

03:53you can't ask for a small help, right?

03:57You're a big man, Ma'am.

03:59At least we saw each other again.

04:02But on the other hand,

04:04you can imagine that she's free from pain.

04:08I don't know where they are now.

04:11Of course, it's painful because you're not with them anymore.

04:14But if you think about it,

04:16their lives might be better.

04:19You have an angel now.

04:21Yes, Ma'am.

04:24Gina's message to her children,

04:26I hope they continue to be guided and protected,

04:30even if they are angels in heaven.
