«I speak from experience, as the father of an atypical child, but I am blessed to be able to enjoy this wonderful child who is here with me and who has changed me and the life of our entire family», Nunes began the conference.
«Yes?», he asked. «No!», said Pedro, causing laughter from everyone in the room.
«So, I want to mark today, to say that it is important that we all are aware that there are differences in the world, there are people with different characteristics, different conditions, and that we must respect everyone and try to include everyone», explained the Brazilian in his monologue.
And he added: «We are in a world today so full of difficult things, of wars, of problems, and a little bit of love often makes a difference as one can hardly imagine. Do you want to say something?»
«So, I am a fortunate person to have a wonderful son, right Pedro?»
«I wanted to take this moment to say that there are thousands and thousands of families that often do not have the best conditions, the opportunities to support their children, and that one ends up discovering a new world from this type of situation that appears in our life, that God sends us», he added, moving everyone.

«There are many and many invisible families that one does not realize are in our environment, people who need support, need help. Today we are a family that understands that improving or worsening are small details. That a football match is just a football match, there are much more difficult things in life than one can imagine», he then stated.
«So, just to mark today, to apologize for the time here, but to take advantage... I believe it was also an important moment to share that, in the end, we are all very similar with the good things, the difficulties, day to day».
«The way we looked at the world has totally changed. It's good then, go with your mom over there», he concluded.
