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.
