Si Soraya ay isang uliran na ina, habang pinapanuod ko siya ya nararamdaman ko kung gaano kalaki, kadakila at kadalisay ang pagmamahal niya sa mga anak niya, ang pagmamahal ding iyon ang nagpapatibay sa kanya upang kaharapin at pagtiyagaan ang kanyang asawa. Ipinakita ni Soraya kung gaano a talga tunay na magmahal ang isang ina na susuongin at titiisin ang lahat para lamang sa mga anak niya kahit pa nga sarili niyang uhay ang kapalit. Her legacy of eing a mother to her children is an evidence or proof of how unconditional a mother’s love is towards her children.
