"Your first thought is: the world is ending. But it's not ending, another world just opens itself up."
"We're religious, and I immediately noticed this having an effect on my faith."

"Our parents gave us confidence: you're great, just the way you are."
"The realization really hit us: we're responsible for this now."
"It was really kind of a relief when we heard Emiel was deaf."
"Would he ever be able to hear music, or the rain beating against the window? That was quite important to me."
"It's important for children to be able to be themselves."
"You end up in this medical scene, I almost forget to enjoy having my child."
"What can I do now?"
"At first, very small things could make me incredibly sad."
