CRISTIANO RONALDO’S mum Dolores Aveiro has penned an emotional birthday message to the grandson she brought back from the US as a newborn.
Aveiro told an approved 2014 biography of how she picked up Cristiano Jr from a clinic in Florida because his dad was playing in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

On his tenth birthday, she wrote: “Only God knows the extra strength my grandson brings me, only God knows the reason he came into my life.
“Every day I see signs that he was destined for us even before he was born.
“Ten years have passed since the first time I picked you up, still with a weak cry and almost closed eyes.
“You nestled in my lap and gave a new meaning to my life, and at that moment I felt a love that I will never be able to explain.
“May God grant you many years of my love, may God allow you always to be that sweet, humble and affectionate boy and one of my reasons for being.
“Happy birthday love of his grandmother’s life.”

Dolores survived a stroke in March with her son flying into Madeira to be by her bedside.
Cristiano Jr. was born in the United States with the footballer having full custody of the boy, whose mother has never been publicly identified.
Twins Eva and Mateo joined the family in 2017, born via surrogate in the US, with Ronaldo’s partner Georgina Rodriguez giving birth to Alana Martina later that year.
The Juventus striker also celebrated his son’s special birthday with a heartfelt message.
Posting a photo of him and his son on social media, Ronaldo wrote: “I can’t even believe that my boy is 10 years old! Time passes…
“You have always been a source of pride for the father who loves you so much.
“Congratulations, Puppy! A happy day! I love you so much!”
