It was a moment she was looking forward to. For more than two months, Églantine Éméyé was unable to visit her son due to the sanitary measures linked to Covid-19. Because Samy is one of the people vulnerable to the virus. Indeed, the teenager, aged 14, has autism and multiple disabilities and must therefore reside in a specialized center located in the Var. An extremely difficult situation for this mother, very close to her boy. "Sadness. I will not see again anytime soon my disabled son, confined away from me, she already wrote on April 14, 2020 on Twitter. Tough for both, but even more so for him who does not understand. One month already separated. But we all have our reasons for being exhausted. Let us remain united! Courage, you have to hold on. "
"Hello Samy !!"
But on May 11, the hour of deconfinement struck. And with him, the hope for the TV host to be able to find her son. Wednesday, May 27, 2020, Églantine Éméyé and Samy could finally see each other! What a joy for the former Miss Météo who hastened to share this moment on social networks. "Hello Samy !!", she wrote in the caption of the image. A reunion, however, placed under the sign of barrier gestures. Mom was wearing a mask and visor as well as latex gloves to protect her son from possible contamination. Églantine Éméyé is one of the public figures who have been fighting for years to make autism visible, alongside Samuel Le Bihan and Henri Leconte.
