A mother of two was told upon the birth of her son with a special condition that he may not walk, talk, or leave the NICU. However, the broken-hearted woman vowed to love her baby unconditionally, and now seven years later, the little boy has not only defied the doctor’s prognosis but he’s thriving.

“I had Thato when I was doing my second year at the University of Johannesburg,” 28-year-old Nomsa Mavimbela, of Evaton, South Africa, told The Epoch Times via email. “I was so scared of how my mom would take the news, given that she is a single parent who was unemployed.”
