What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

I made it thought the turmoil wouldn’t be here, if I didn’t get through my recovery of 35 yrs. I’ve never gave up! Kids were in foster care got them back, they were with both grands. Seeing, their smiles on their faces when I walk in the room. I’m the Matriarch, lol. Just seeing all of them all grown up, married, children, and careers. All are alive, a single parent, it was very, very difficult at times. My youngest son has anxiety and depression seeing him get better is rewarding enough.

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

When it was Covid and they had a 20’s birthday for me. and we all took a road trip to Disney World in Florida, and our family picnics because we always have a dance contest of some sort, this is generational talent and fun family time. We also went to Disneyland as a family too.

What would you do with $20,000?

Would do a short film, hope to become a tv series, with $10,000 about depression, and anxiety. Make an investment, parking spaces, etc…
