If she wants to eat she has this tube in her stomach, that is where I pass her food. What was her offense? I gave birth to her early and she had an infection. That was the only offense Sudan had. If you asked me if would I willingly drop everything I got because of her situation for me to get Sudan back, oh I will. She looked so much like me.”
