“Mary is not only a daughter woman. I don’t want to say that I love Mary more than my son’s other wives. But my love for Mary is so strong. Why? My father and I are very close.
I will never forget the kind of reception we give me to their people.
Mary is the girl I love bone marrow. By the way, she is a great person. Mary is a very, very smart girl. You may not know. Mary is a computer guide, you are looking at that lady, right?
To a large extent, the success of the home is Mary’s credibility. Yes.
But again, you know, something like this happened and it’s hard to convince her that you’re not part of it. You know, Mary is a great person.
Actually, I only have 76th birthday. You know, the message she conveys is so cute. Yes. Mary is a great woman.
You know, a lot of people are wrongly suggesting her, trying to see if they can make a connection between themselves and their husbands.
You know, most of the women who suggest her have no good hopes. They don’t. ”
