The best part of being a mom is watching my children grow into incredible individuals, seeing a stronger, more confident version of myself reflected back. It's validating their worth, and mine, at every stage. Knowing they carry my lessons and love with them is a sacred trust, making every moment deeply meaningful.

When Gisselle was born, it was as if a veil lifted. I held her, and a sense of peace, a divine quiet, filled the room. It wasn't just the overwhelming love of a mother; it was a tangible sense of God's presence, a gift wrapped in tiny fingers and soft cries. Gisselle became my living testament, a constant reminder of His faithfulness. In moments of doubt, her birth, that moment of profound peace, was the anchor that kept me from drifting.

If I had $20,000, the first thing I'd do is invest in the quality of my kids' home, a safe place, where, everywhere else isn't, they can come here to be close to me and their father and remember who they are and how they were raised even after we are no longer here physically. I feel like these 20,000 dollars would bring us even closer in the sense that we would all be working together and spending time with each other fixing something that is ultimately theirs.
