[post_page_title]Giving thanks to her Wonder[/post_page_title]
Shahaf decided to name her son Pele. No, she wasn’t paying homage to the Brazilian soccer legend – Pele means “wonder” in Hebrew.
His full name, in fact, is Pele Gabriel – his middle name a tribute to her father-in-law, who she admires. As for her son’s first name, he really was a wonder. “He’s proven himself to be one,” she beamed. “He’s an amazing baby who hardly ever cries at night, it’s as if he knows his mommy’s suffering.” Even her pregnancy, unplanned as we mentioned, hastened the tumor’s discovery.
