Getting to watch them grow. Learn new things and enjoy their life. I had a really rough time before my step son came into my life and my daughter was born. I watched my step dad die of a heart attack and my brother passed away from a car accident a year later within the same month. Having my kids has taught me to love life again after such a dark time.

The days I became their mom. My life changed for the better. I finally looked forward to my future and felt like I had something to live for. They took my sadness away from me and turned it into unconditional love. They inspire me everyday.

I would pay off some of my house and take my family on a vacation. We have never been able to take a vacation with my kids due to all of life’s messes. We try our hardest to make them feel special but taking a vacation with them would mean the world to them. I want to show them more in life than just being at home or the park. I’ve needed a good family car that doesn’t break down so I would probably put some of it towards that as well. Having a reliable car has been a challenge.
