She said: “My sister’s child was born prematurely and we went to visit him on Valentine’s Day, but my two children were not allowed to see him, they were too young.
“Nurses cool Molly some hearts of chocolate love and stayed with her from springs.

“Everything votes from those chocolate hearts that they gave him in the hospital and when we went to Queen’s, he obtained the same but on the opposite side, he could give the chocolate and receive a smile.”
