When we become parents, our hearts and minds expand to a whole new level of love that we never knew existed. As a parent myself, I can honestly say that the day I held my baby for the first time was the happiest moment of my life. From that moment on, I knew that my life would be forever changed.

This feeling is not unique to me. Parents all over the world can relate to the overwhelming sense of love that comes with holding their child for the first time. However, it's unfortunate that not all parents feel this way. Some are inexplicably capable of abandoning or even abusing their children, leaving them with emotional and physical scars that can last a lifetime.

It's a heartbreaking reality that we must acknowledge. While parenthood is often considered a joyous and fulfilling experience, it's important to remember that it's not always the case for everyone. We must work towards creating a world where all children are loved and cared for, and where parents who struggle with their role are provided with the necessary support and resources to overcome their challenges.

In the end, parenting is a responsibility that should be taken seriously. It's a journey that comes with both challenges and rewards, but above all, it's a journey that should be fueled by love and compassion.

One Paraguayan family has experienced both ends of the spectrum, and their story began with a lady named Doña Ignacia, who, incidentally, turned 90 last year, in 2021.

In her younger years, she had a son, Pablo Acuña, only to realize not long after his birth that he wasn’t developing as he should.

“I quickly realized that my son, at an early age, wasn’t growing much,” she explained.

Eventually, she and her husband took him to the hospital to find out what was wrong with him, and if there was anything that could be done to help him.

“He was in the hospital for two or three months, then he [the father] brought him back just like when they left,” Ignacia explained.

Sadly, it transpired that Pablo had been born with a condition that meant his limbs would not grow, effectively leaving him without arms and legs.

Naturally, his mom stuck by his side and nursed him as she would any other child. As he grew, Pablo required the help of a wheelchair, but still his mother reminded him everyday that he was special, and just as deserving of life as anyone else.

Perhaps it was this compassion that gave Pablo the attitude he needed to make a huge difference when he himself became a parent. As per reports, he had two daughters of his own, only for the mother to walk out and abandon them while they were young.

Despite facing countless difficulties and challenges in his life, Pablo has been able to raise his two daughters with immense love and care. As they have grown into their twenties, Elida has shared her love for her father and his amazing qualities.

Elida speaks highly of her father's wisdom and intelligence, despite never having attended school. Despite the hardships he has faced, Pablo remains positive and happy, never letting life's struggles bring him down.

To Elida, her father is not just a parent, but a friend and the center of her world. She left her life in Argentina to come and care for him when her grandmother could no longer do so because of her age. She considers him the best father in the world, and her love for him knows no bounds.
