It is evident that the young man has absolute faith in his mother and he is confident that she'll always have his back. One can tell all this by simply observing the level of comfort he exhibits while in her arms. It's simply a joy to watch!

Many describe her as ‘strong’ because of how she carries on despite the situation with her son, but Monica may have a different opinion. He is, after all, her son and she is simply being a good mother to him.

One thing people adore about their relationship is her ability to relate to her son’s disability with grace and ease. Of course, that may be due, in part, to the fact that this is not her first time experiencing the disability of a loved one.

Eric, Monica's younger brother, who she grew up with, was born blind. According to her, it's the major reason why she sees things differently from many people. It made her more compassionate, sensitive, and patient.
