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

The most rewarding part for me is knowing that I helped a small human grow to be whatever their minds can imagine. It's knowing that I'll be there for all the moments life throws their way, to be someone they can always turn to and depend on. No matter how old they get, I will always be their Mom. Typically kids don't get to choose their parents, but my youngest son chose me to be his mom and that is the purest gift I think anyone can receive.

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

I will always remember the time I sprained my ankle. I remember coming home and all the kids were so worried about me. They all smothered me in hugs and kisses and repeatedly asked if I was ok. They boys tried to help me in the house while the girls carried my things. They all worked together to help with the house and reminded each other not to get too rowdy so mommy can rest. Seeing them work together and caring for each other not only myself put my heart at ease that I was teaching them right

What would you do with $20,000?

My youngest son is not technically mine. He is my uncle's child that my grandmother has had custody of since he was 1 yrs old. Being that I take care of her, that is how I came to be his mom. With my grandmother getting older I've began to worry more about what would happen to him. That is why I would use the money to legally adopt him. And if there is any leftover, hopefully put a swing set in the backyard for the kids to play as well. ☺️
