"Mum, we are pregnant. First, she laughed, then congratulated me. She understands me just like a mother would understand her daughter. She knows I crave for love therefore her door is open for me 24/7. When we lost the pregnancy, at 10 weeks, she called and we talked a lot, I felt better," Akothee wrote.
