WOW I can name soo many rewarding things about being a mom. The first thing I’d say is being able to watch them grow and develop, a privilege denied to many including my mom who passed of colon cancer whom never met several of her grandchildren or great grands. I’m grateful to have playdates at the park, family trips or afternoon treats at our favorite Frozen Yogurt spot. I also love doing Arts & Crafts at home and of course our Movies & popcorn nights. Anytime spent with them is a blessing!

WOW it’s hard to choose a specific memory for there are many. However if I had to choose only one, it would be when we all were able to be together for EVERY Winter Holiday from Church to Thanksgiving Dinner with family, Christmas and New Years Eve all of us in good health and spirits. How I wish for this again! I miss my oldest daughter being gone from the home and pray for her healing daily. In the meantime I try to be the best mom I can be to my younger daughter and best grandma to my grands.

Honestly if I win the $20,000 first I would get some extra tutoring and help for my oldest grandson for his speech impediment and learning challenges. I’d also try to get more extensive help for my oldest daughter’s health concerns. Then I’d put some money in a savings act for my children and grandchildren’s future. I’d then look for a larger car to put a down payment on as our family is growing. Then I’d plan a family vacation for summer break to create more memories for our family!
