Laeticia Hallyday: “My mother had to have surgery for a hip prosthesis”
“Sometimes, life reminds us of the fragility of the people we love… And certain moments also remind us to what extent love and kindness can change everything… After a bad fall, my mother had to have surgery for a prosthesis hip. These days have been filled with worry. But your countless messages have been a real balm for our hearts“, first wrote Laeticia Hallyday.
“Every word, every thought carried me through these moments. Today, she is better, and I finally find peace. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love you have sent me. Your messages were more than words. They were a breath of comfort. A light that softened our path“, then added the daughter of Françoise Thibaut.
