Simone Biles is grateful for her grandparents

Caring for a child is not easy, especially when they are your grandchildren. However, Nellie Biles cared for Simone like her own daughter. With tears in her eyes, the gymnast expressed gratitude to her grandparents for adopting her. She described how she never had a mother she could run to and tell her problems. She has suffered too much, from sleeping hungry to worrying about her siblings in foster care.

During the Dancing With the Stars episode, she addressed, “I never had mom to run to. I do remember always being hungry and afraid. At 3 years old, I was placed in foster care. Whenever we had visits with my grandpa, I was so excited. That was the person I always wanted to see walk into the foster home. My parents saved me. There’s nothing I could say to them to thank them enough.”
