-I was 15 and at school -when, as a joke, someone said... | 0:00:36 | 0:00:41 | |
-.."Enlli's pregnant, -blah-blah-blah." | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
-The rumour quickly spread -and my cousin found out. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
-She phoned me and said, -"I want to see you." | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
-I said, "OK." | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
-She said, -"I've heard you're pregnant." | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
-So I said, "No, it was only a joke." | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
-I suspected I was but I wasn't sure. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
-I started to panic and she said, -"Let me see your belly." | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
-So I showed her my belly -and she took me to the surgery. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
-When I found out I was pregnant... | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
-..I'd been with Gwenno's father -for about a year. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
-The relationship -was moving so quickly. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
-Caryl, -one of my closest friends, and I... | 0:01:20 | 0:01:25 | |
-..went to the surgery... | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
-..and the doctor's face -said it all. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
-I remember that I started crying... | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
-..because I didn't know what to do. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
-It felt as if -my life had grounded to a halt. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
-I don't want to dwell on that -feeling because it was horrible. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
-The worst bit -was having to tell Mam and Dad. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:52 | |
-I couldn't do it myself. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
-I asked my aunt because she was the -one who did the test in the surgery. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
-I remember saying, "You have to -help me because I can't do this." | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
-So we went to her house that night -and Mam's face fell. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
-I remember the moment Sandra -told me that Enlli was pregnant. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
-Sometimes people's comments -don't register. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
-I remember people telling me -but I refused to believe them. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
-It just didn't sink in. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
-She had to tell me straight. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
-I thought, "We can't have this. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
-"This isn't happening. -She's imagining it." | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
-She said, "No, no, she's -six and a half months pregnant." | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
-She was 15 and I thought it was -the end of the world at that time. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
-Mam had expectations... | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
-..and plans for me. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
-It was a shock for them. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
-I remember Dad going to his room. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
-The following morning -he came down and gave me a hug. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
-He said, "We'll get through this." | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
-It broke my heart -hearing Dad say that. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
-Taid, indeed! -Yes, I'm a grandfather. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
-I still can't believe it, -to be honest. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
-I think I'm too young. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
-Being a grandfather is nice... | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
-..because we can give them back. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
-We don't have to feed them, -change nappies or put them to bed. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:32 | |
-It's lovely having a little one -running around at home again. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:39 | |
-Do you remember -the first day at school... | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
-..after finding out -you were pregnant? | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
-Yes, they were all staring at me -and whispering. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
-We thought it was a secret -but everybody knew. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
-Blaenau Ffestiniog is a small place. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
-Blaenau Ffestiniog is a small place. - -Everyone at school knew. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
-It was like walking through... | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
-..a pack of vultures -that hadn't eaten for ages. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
-They were all staring at me. -It was an isolating experience. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
-Gwenno? Gwenno? | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
-Do you want to play with this? | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
-Wow! | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
-Well done! | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
-The day Gwenno was born... | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
-..was very special - she was tiny. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
-She weighed only 6 pounds, 1 ounce. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
-We were a large family -before Gwenno's arrival. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
-Enlli is one of four children. -Owain in the eldest. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
-He's 21 years old... | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
-..and in his second year -at Cardiff University. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
-Enlli's 19. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
-Aeron is 15 years old... | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
-..and the youngest, Lili, -is 14 years old. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
-It was a busy household... | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
-..before Gwenno arrived. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
-The children -are smitten with Gwenno. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
-She fitted right in, -as if she's always been here. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
-I think Gwenno -was seven weeks old... | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
-..when we found out -she was profoundly deaf. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
-At the time... | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
-..it was a mega shock. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
-It felt as if everything in my life -was going wrong. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
-But looking back... | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
-..there are -worse defects than deafness. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
-She's turned out to be a beautiful -little girl and she's mega clever. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:41 | |
-Can I play with this? Please? | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
-Thank you. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
-At first, we tried a strong hearing -aid to see if that would work. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
-Then they gave us -these tiny hearing aids. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
-We put little stickers on them -to make Gwenno look more glamorous. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
-The mould has pink glitter on it. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
-We tried these -for a couple of weeks... | 0:06:03 | 0:06:08 | |
-..but we didn't really see -any improvement... | 0:06:08 | 0:06:12 | |
-..so we went back and -they suggested cochlear implants. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
-The greatest harm -caused by cochlear implants... | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
-..is that they'd destroy -any natural hearing she might have. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
-Chris and I discussed it, -Mam and I discussed it... | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
-..and Mam and Dad discussed it... | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
-..and we decided if it improved -her life in the long-term... | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
-..we'd try it. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
-One, two, three, whoa! | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
-Are they lovely? -Are you enjoying those? | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
-Since she's completely deaf... | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
-..the option -of having cochlear implants... | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
-..was an easy decision to make. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-They wanted to operate -when she was a year old... | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
-..making her one of the youngest. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
-It was a strange feeling... | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
-..because it was a major upheaval -for her to go through. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:25 | |
-No, no, that's for Easter. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
-That's for Easter. -You can have it before too long. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
-It's such a shame that she had -no choice in the matter. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
-Since she was so young, -decisions had to be made for her. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |
-It was a major operation -and quite invasive. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:43 | |
-But the doctors told us... | 0:07:44 | 0:07:49 | |
-..that it wasn't -a painful procedure... | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
-..which made it easier for us. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
-So we decided to go ahead... | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
-..and she had the operation -in August 2011. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
-I remember it was very unpleasant... | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
-..having to take one so young -to theatre and leaving her there. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:10 | |
-The day Gwenno had the operation... | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
-..was an anxious time as a parent... | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
-..although she was -obviously none the wiser. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
-I remember her crying -when they gave her the anaesthetic. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
-It was horrible because -they put a mask over her face. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
-She was clinging to me. -It was heartbreaking. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
-It was obviously painful because she -had massive scars behind her ears. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:41 | |
-When they came to get me, -I didn't recognize her... | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
-..when I saw her at first -because she looked so different. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:50 | |
-Her face was swollen -and she was wearing a bandage. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
-She looked like a mini rugby player. -Her face had ballooned. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:58 | |
-She woke up -and was staring at me like this. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
-I felt so bad but I -convinced myself it was necessary. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
-I remember holding her hand -walking back to the ward... | 0:09:07 | 0:09:13 | |
-..and everybody was there. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
-It was so tight. I felt so bad -about the way she looked. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:20 | |
-Her face was all squished like that. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
-But it worked out for the best -because she can hear as a result. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
-We have to take Gwenno -to Manchester once a month. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
-We've come here today -for Gwenno's mappings. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
-Her hearing in both ears is tested. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
-In order for them to do that, they -have to remove one hearing aid... | 0:09:51 | 0:09:56 | |
-..and link the other -to the mains in the other room. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
-They send different noises... | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
-..and whenever she hears a sound, -she has to look at the tower... | 0:10:04 | 0:10:09 | |
-..and gets a little surprise. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
-Every time she hears a sound, -she looks to see what's there. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
-Clever girl. Well done. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
-Fantastic. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
-Mr Dinosaur. Clever girl. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
-Today's tests show that she can -hear sound on a lower frequency. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:39 | |
-For them, that's all-important. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
-She must be able -to hear relatively quiet noises... | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
-..such as cars approaching -from a distance. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
-For her, that's what really matters. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
-It worked out well for her -in the end because she can hear. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:10 | |
-She can call me and say "Mam"... | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
-..and she listens to me -when I say, "No, Gwenno." | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
-That's nice. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
-The other day I left the hearing -aids switched on while she slept. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
-When I called out to wake her up, -she jumped. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
-To see her responding -is really nice for me... | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
-..because I'm not used to it. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
-Usually I have to poke her -to wake her, so it's nice. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:37 | |

-As Enlli's aunt... | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
-..finding out Enlli was pregnant -at 15 came as a huge shock. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
-She was seven months pregnant -before she mentioned it to anyone. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:10 | |
-But looking at her afterwards, -it was so obvious. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
-But we never expected it -to happen to Enlli. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:19 | |
-There's a hole here. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
-Just before -they found out Gwenno was deaf... | 0:12:29 | 0:12:34 | |
-..we suspected -there was something wrong. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
-When she was a baby, she never -seemed startled when a dog barked... | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
-..or when a door slammed -or closed suddenly. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
-She never jumped -like little ones usually do. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
-It was a huge shock first of all -to find out Enlli was pregnant... | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
-..and then the deafness -came as another shock. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:59 | |
-But we'd come to terms with it -within a day or two... | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
-..and carried on as normal. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
-It didn't change anything. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
-CHILD SCREAMS | 0:13:16 | 0:13:17 | |
-Don't be so dramatic! | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
-Gwenno? | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
-We've been through a lot. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
-From Gwenno's operation... | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
-..to my starting college... | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
-..and having to leave Gwenno -at home with Mam. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
-Mam and I were having disagreements -because we were both stressed. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:43 | |
-It's affected my life -because I no longer work. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
-I look after Gwenno full time... | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
-..while Enlli is at college -studying for her A Levels. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
-We'll see what happens afterwards. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
-I feel guilty sometimes for -giving Gwenno so much attention... | 0:14:02 | 0:14:07 | |
-..when I still have children of my -own needing my attention at home. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:12 | |
-It's difficult -being there for everyone. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
-I feel guilty for thinking... | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
-..it would have been nice if she'd -waited before having a baby. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
-But then she wouldn't -have had dear little Gwenno. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:27 | |
-I sometimes think -it would have been nice for Enlli... | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
-..to have continued her education -and gone to university. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:35 | |
-We don't look too far ahead. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
-I certainly don't, -I take each day as it comes. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:44 | |
-Five years ago we bought a house -in Llan Ffestiniog... | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
-..with the intention of moving here, -but it's taking longer... | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
-..to renovate the house. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
-But part of the reason for that -is Gwenno's arrival. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:02 | |
-The project has been put on hold. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
-There are issues -with the renovations. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
-Now that I'm looking after Gwenno -and not working... | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
-..I'm not earning a wage -and renovating a house is costly. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
-We need five bedrooms... | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
-..so we've had to alter the plans -and change the bedrooms... | 0:15:24 | 0:15:28 | |
-..so that she can have her own room. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
-He likes going there to escape. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
-That's Goronwy's release valve. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
-He goes there and potters about... | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
-..and doesn't -have to deal with everyday problems. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
-I haven't found -my release valve yet. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
-I have a tendency -to bottle it all up. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:54 | |
-I'll explode one day -and there'll be nothing left of me. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
-I like to escape sometimes. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
-It's nice taking the dogs for a walk -to get out of the house. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
-Although Gwenno -has cochlear implants... | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
-..it doesn't stop her -doing anything. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
-She loves swimming, although I have -to remove the implants for that. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:20 | |
-But it doesn't stop her. -She still enjoys the water. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:25 | |
-Her little face lights up. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
-# You are my friend | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
-# Where do you want to go? | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
-# The door's wide open for you | 0:16:39 | 0:16:43 | |
-# Blessed, blessed are you | 0:16:44 | 0:16:48 | |
-# You are free to go | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
-# Why hide while I watch you? | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
-# Blessed, blessed are you | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |

-# You're the apple of my eye # | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
-This is Cylch Meithrin Gellilydan. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
-Gwenno's been with us since January. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
-She's started to engage more -with the other children. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
-They all get on. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
-She's confident -and she's developed a great deal. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:31 | |
-Let's put on your shoes. -Where's your foot? | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
-Although Gwenno doesn't speak, -she communicates through signals. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:46 | |
-If she wants to open something... | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
-..she'll hand us the object. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
-What I'm trying to do -is show her the sign... | 0:17:53 | 0:17:58 | |
-..and say the word at the same time. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
-If I want her to open something, -I show her how to communicate that. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:05 | |
-We hope that in a year or two -Gwenno will be able to learn... | 0:18:06 | 0:18:11 | |
-..like other children -and that her speech will develop. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
-I'm sure it will as she's bright. -She's clever. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
-At the moment, Gwenno can hear more -or less all she is going to hear. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
-They've explained -that she won't hear perfectly... | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
-..but her hearing -is as good as mine. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
-People's hearing deteriorates -as they get older. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
-Her hearing -will be as good as mine... | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
-..but not as good -as younger people's hearing. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
-But she'll hear well enough -to lead a normal life. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
-She'll hear the television and cars. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
-She'll be fine and I'm sure she'll -lead a full life, knowing Gwenno. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:59 | |
-Her hearing will be fine as long -as she always wears her implants... | 0:18:59 | 0:19:05 | |
-..otherwise -she'll be hard of hearing. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
-She has the option of hearing -what she wants to hear. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:13 | |
-It'll be up to her when she's older. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
-I think we made -the right decision for her. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
-I hope Gwenno will be able -to lead a happy life. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
-Although -I wouldn't change anything... | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
-..I don't want her to go down -the same route as I did. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
-I want her to have a life first. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
-I want her to have what I never had. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
-I've already been to college. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
-If I pass my exams this year... | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
-..I'll have achieved four A Levels. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
-I wanted to go to university... | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
-..but I don't see myself -actually going... | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
-..because -I don't want to leave Gwenno. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:00 | |
-I really hope... | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
-..that I go places with my artwork. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
-Art is what I'd really like to do... | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
-..but weighing up my options -I want to find a good job... | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
-..so that I can earn enough to make -a decent living for Gwenno and me. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
-When I buy clothes these days, -Mam always says... | 0:20:23 | 0:20:27 | |
-.."I used to wear those -back in the day." | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
-They're lovely. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
-Those shiny leggings. My mother said -she had a bright green pair. Cool! | 0:20:32 | 0:20:37 | |
-When I'm with my friends, -I feel really young again... | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
-..but when Gwenno's around, -I suddenly change to mother mode. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
-When I look at her with the other -young girls around this area... | 0:20:47 | 0:20:52 | |
-..I see how much effort -she puts into her college work... | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
-..she's doing very well. | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
-She's a wonderful artist. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
-She's doing a great job -as a mother. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
-Being the grandmother, -Elaine helps out a lot. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:11 | |
-I hope -what she's learnt as a mother... | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
-..during these early years -will stand her in good stead... | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
-..when they eventually move out. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
-Looking after Gwenno is harder... | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
-..than caring for a child -without a hearing disability. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:30 | |
-What do you want? -There are strawberries on the table. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
-Being a mother is very hard work. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
-It's hard work anyway... | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
-..but being a mother -at such a young age... | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
-..while attending college, -learning to drive... | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
-..looking after horses and juggling -added responsibilities... | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
-..makes it harder still. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
-Sometimes -I feel down in the dumps... | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
-..but having Gwenno there -soon cheers me up. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
-Though we're worried about -all that's going on... | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
-..and the decisions -we have to make... | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
-..this is entirely normal -for Gwenno. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
-This is her normality. -It's Gwenno's little world. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
-Just looking at her face -makes you want to smile. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
-She's happy all the time. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
-She's beautiful with her curly hair. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
-Although there are times... | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
-..when I'd like to stay in bed -and sleep until 11 o'clock... | 0:22:30 | 0:22:35 | |
-..instead of having to get up -early at 8 o'clock... | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
-..I wouldn't change anything. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
-Gwens is my life now. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
-All the things I did before... | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
-..since having Gwenno, -I do them with Gwenno nowadays. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
-# Blessed, blessed are you | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
-# You're free to go | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
-# Why hide while I watch you? | 0:23:03 | 0:23:07 | |
-# Blessed, blessed are you | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
-# You're changing every day | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
-# You're the apple of my eye # | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
