From being on the verge of death to seeing her like this, with barely any lasting effects and reading about the canonization of the person who saved her life.<br><strong><br>LILIANA VALVERDE<\/strong><br>Mother of Valeria<br><em>Carlo saved both of us. He saved Valeria and he saved me too. Valeria is an only child. So, when you are about to lose the person you love the most\u2014which in my case is Valeria\u2014and suddenly these kinds of things happen, you definitely change, you change everything. Your life completely changes.<br><br><\/em>Her daughter had a nearly fatal bicycle accident in Florence. Traveling from Costa Rica, the mother then decided to go to Assisi on July 9. She barely knew anything about Carlo Acutis at the time.<br><br><strong>LILIANA VALVERDE<\/strong><br>Mother of Valeria<br><em>If someone asks me what rationally made me take that decision, I don\u2019t have a rational answer. I just felt something, and as Carlo said, \u2018It\u2019s not me; it\u2019s God.\u2019 God used me as an instrument for this: to go, to ask and ask in front of Carlo\u2019s tomb on July 9 for about four hours.<br><br><\/em>It was when she left the sanctuary where Carlo\u2019s body rests that Liliana felt something had happened. She was convinced her daughter would survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LILIANA VALVERDE<\/strong><br>Mother of Valeria<br><em>When I left Assisi to take the train back to Florence, I left convinced that Valeria was going to heal completely, because it\u2019s important for you to know that it wasn\u2019t just a physical healing, but the other great miracle was that she didn\u2019t need therapy.<br><br><\/em>From the beginning, for Valeria\u2019s mother, everything was a miracle; an intercession now officially recognized by the Vatican, and the reason behind the green light for Acutis to become a saint.<br><br><br><strong>LILIANA VALVERDE<\/strong><br>Mother of Valeria<br><em>What I can say is a conviction\u2014I\u2019ve always been very rational\u2014that this was a full-fledged miracle. And, medically speaking, for the skeptics, the doctors showed, for example, that when she had the accident, which was on July 2, and arrived at the hospital near death, by July 18, they did a CT scan and the scan showed that her brain was completely deflated.<br><br><br><\/em>Liliana had the opportunity to meet Antonia Salzano, Carlo\u2019s mother, and was able to thank her for all that a saint had done for Valeria.<br><br><br><strong>LILIANA VALVERDE<\/strong><br>Mother of Valeria<br><em>One of my dreams was to meet Carlo\u2019s mother because for me, she was the closest I could get to him, to Carlo. When I met her in Assisi, I gave her a very strong, warm hug.<br><br><br><\/em>They embraced mother-to-mother, united by their two children. Valeria lives a normal life, like any other person of her time; the same normalcy attributed to Carlo. Liliana now has her fully recovered daughter, and Antonia now has the certainty that her son is in heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trans.
