A journalist once asked Cristiano Ronaldo, “Why does your mother still live with you? Why haven’t you built her a house of her own?”
Cristiano responded with heartfelt words:
“My mother dedicated her entire life to me. She made sacrifices beyond measure, often going to bed hungry just so I could eat. We had no money, yet she worked tirelessly—seven days a week, even nights as a maid—just to buy me my first pair of football boots, so I could follow my dream of becoming a player.
Everything I have achieved, all my success, is thanks to her unwavering love and sacrifices. I owe it all to her. As long as I live, she will always be by my side. She already has everything I can give, but more importantly, she is my refuge, my strength, and my greatest blessing.”
