“I knew that it would be an adjustment. It was a hard pill to swallow, at first,” his mom said.
“How were you feeling then?” Dias asked his mom.
“I would say I was shocked, but not totally surprised,” she said.
Many emotions were going through her head, ups and downs and plenty of worries.
“I didn’t want you to be discriminated against,” she told Dias.
