The former speaker of the Assembly, Jozefina Topalli, celebrates her 60th birthday today.

In a post on Facebook, where he shared photos from his childhood, Topalli wrote that I feel freer than when I was 30 years old, more confident, more humble and more experienced.

She has described her life, where she says that she started helping the family at the age of 12, while she was also an excellent student.

But, like everyone, Topalli has a hostage that he says he will follow for the rest of his life.

"I lived only what I believed, but at a considerable cost to my family and in particular to my children who did not have their mother at home like any 1-year-old child as Genari was when I entered the Parliament, in a very difficult time for PD. This is a hostage that will follow me until I have breath", she writes, among other things.

Topal's full post:

On this very special day for me, I feel freer than I did 30 years ago, more confident and at the same time more humble, ...but also clothed with an infinite experience.

My life has had very strong ups and downs.

Even though she is often not dependent on me, in that part that was influenced by me, in my path, choices and solutions, I have done everything and every time in my own way..

Not a few times they didn't even understand me, many times they misunderstood me, but that didn't stop me from believing in what I considered right.

I have been lucky, which not everyone has. I have two children, who have never hurt my heart;

I have a husband, who has always supported me even when he thought differently from me, becoming in fact the pillar of balance and joy in our home, with his kindness, tolerance and humor.

But I am not just a happy mother of two beloved children, nor just a privileged wife, today our family has expanded with two nephews, who give me endless love.

On this day, I remember my mother and father, who raised us through sacrifices and poverty with great love. They never share their sufferings, anxieties and fears for our future. Regardless of the storms of their lives, they make my childhood, that of my brother and sister, beautiful and friendless; they taught us education, work, dignity and love for the human family.

For other aspects of life, I have always been myself.

I could not be her, who I am not.

I started working to help the family when I was 12 years old.

I had the courage to tear down all my walls at first.

I laughed and cried, I was wrong, I lost, I worked and won.

But, I have done everything and every time in my own way...taking care to always preserve my dignity!

My path has been quite unique!

From a high school student who won mathematics olympiads to an agricultural worker (semi-interned), to the first female Speaker of the Parliament.

Since I was little, I decided not to walk in anyone's shadow.

They told me that I am tough, when I worked for what I thought was right!; when I was fighting to knock down the stones of the wall of crime and injustice in the Parliament!

I've never turned my back on a man, but I've never wanted to run away from myself either.

They told me that I am strong, when in fact I was more timid.

I lived only what I believed, but at a not small cost for my family and especially for my children who did not have their mother at home like every 1-year-old child, as was Genari when I entered the Parliament, at one time very difficult for PD.

This is a hostage that will follow me until I have breath.

It is said that every birthday is a new beginning. I feel that way.

I love life and I love the challenge again.

I thank all those who support and love me without interest!
