She said, “Well, I mean definitely the connection. The love I have for her. It’s just unparallel to the other love, I have for another human being in general. You know I love my husband so much but it’s a different kind of love. And like also I think that she is so young, like a protection, she can’t do much like it’s my responsibility and my husband’s responsibility to protect her.”
