The 57-year-old journalist continued by saying,

'There has been a stigma over the years, especially if it’s not an obvious challenge that people know, and I think to be able to share and inspire and to give other people the encouragement, I think that life can be enriched and can be better and can be in some ways richer when you are loving and supporting and dealing with somebody who is dealing with challenges.'

'We hope that more people will be open to expressing and maybe sharing that a lot of us are dealing with challenges in life.'

The mother of two continued to explain that it was clearly evident.

'It was pretty apparent that he was facing some challenges.'

She ended up saying concerned about what their future will hold for them.

Nevertheless, she and her husband created a team together that includes therapists and specialists who greatly helped in his developmental growth.

The mother proudly said,

''We watched him blossom.'

She also opened up about the anxiety that she and her husband was feeling at the time he was born.

'We wondered was he going to speak? Was he going to walk.'

Nonetheless, Deborah Roberts concluded her talk in a more positive manner leading to happy revelations.

'In no time, he was running and talking more than I thought he would ever do.'

We are happy to hear about Nicholas' progress, and completely, we are grateful for his parents for letting the world know that a lot of people are actually dealing with this kind of problem.

Thus, in a way, creating awareness and solution.

Aren't they a picture of a happy and blessed family?
