Oh, wow. That's crazy. What would you say to those little babies? I don't know. I'm gonna start crying. I would just tell this little girl to, like, I don't know. Never give up on your dreams. Like, you're not dreaming too big. Like, I know some people worse, like, doubt on what I was doing or make fun of the way I looked being such a strong, small girl. But there was always a reason for me to be fit and strong, and I would tell her that we finally did it, and he had a cute husband as well. I'll tell him that it to be proud of who he is and to be proud about being different and best, to believe in himself.
