In the "Memory Game", organized inside the house of "BBVA", the singer Valbona Mema narrated the story of her life, telling about the worries and difficulties she has faced.
 
She stopped to meet her late husband and shared that she had just finished high school, when she attended a festival and among the many emotions she had about her performance on stage, she saw the love of her life for the first time.

"I met the love of my life at the Palace of Culture. I was competing and I had lowered my head, when I see two legs there and I had received the prize and again I was sitting and shaking. I see two legs and (feel) a hand on my shoulder. He tells me "Get up because they are waiting for you on stage because you have received the first prize of performers" .

Further, Valbona continued:
 
"No, I told him, it's not me and I got scared. The moment I saw her, it was love at first sight. It was Sokol! The falcon that taught me everything; The falcon that bought me my first shoes. Then, a boy who came from a very respectable family from Shkodra, with a father who had worked all his life in the Opera and Ballet Theater, who knew music, who slept and woke up with music...", Valbona said, also showing his journey with music.

"That's why I say that he taught me everything, because I only had one gift: the voice and I had absolutely no other knowledge about music. Then, our love was crowned with a wedding, where I sang at the wedding, Sokoli also accompanied me. A beautiful wedding... I didn't have a wedding at my mom's because we couldn't afford it. I had a very beautiful Shkodra wedding at Sokoli." , said the singer, also mentioning the fact that she had a big family with 7 sisters and 2 brothers.

"Then came the birth of the son and after 18 months, we went abroad to sing, where we found out his illness. I was pregnant with the girl and I did not know and the doctor tells me the disease. I experienced his operation in Switzerland, while I was with the child in my belly, where I cried, faced his pain, fed him, everything... We didn't tell his mother that the operation was done" .

"When I came, I was 8 months pregnant. My son was very young and we had left him with Sokol's sister. Then, the girl was born. After her birth, his illness progressed even more. On December 24, 2001, he closed his eyes. At that moment, my world collapsed, but I had two children, I had the support of Sokol's family. I had to get strength and continue life, because I had a very big task: to raise children".

She also showed the release of the first album:

"I found myself in the middle of a great passion for music that I didn't want to leave, but also with a great pain, as the world collapsed before my feet. I worked even while crying. Then, with the approval of Sokol's family, I released my first album, which was a tremendous success. I published Sokol's song, "Brenga e ruttu" after 2 years" , said Valbona, touching the residents.
