"Right now, I feel many emotions, I would have liked to prepare better. It is very special to share this with you all. The truth is I don't want to leave it, but my body says it's time. I hope not to become a stranger and see you all very soon," stated the woman who rose to No. 30 in the world and who will now take a different path in search of happiness.
