Connect What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part about being a mom to me is the constant love that my kid shows me. He’s my first and only child (8 years old) and I don’t think anyone in my life has shown me as much love as my son does. It’s the best feeling ever!

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

One memory I’ll never forget is the night my son was born. As I was giving birth his heartbeat was slowing down because the umbilical cord was caught around his neck. I was so afraid that he wouldn’t make it. It was already hard for me to push and his head just wouldn’t fit through, so I had to have an emergency episiotomy in order to save my son from suffocating on the umbilical cord. Once he was born he didn’t cry right away. After a few seconds he made a small cry and it took my breath away.

What would you do with $20,000?

With 20,000 I would put in an account for my son so that it would grow over the next 10 years so that by the time he reaches age 18 he will have money for schooling and support.
