What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

So much! I would say seeing my daughter happy, laughing and smiling is super rewarding. Knowing that she has things in her life that trigger a smile, a song or a giggle… it’s all worth it. Knowing that she is provided for and loved beyond and above anyone in my life. I love to see the woman she’s become, how independent and secure she is with herself. She is an advocate for herself and loves her friends and family without limits. She my amazing girl is more than rewarding.

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

The first is of my Veronica, my oldest angel. I had her at 22 weeks and only held her in my arms for an hour and a half. Her short life taught me to be grateful because life is a journey that can end without warning. Gwendolyn is my pride and joy. She has taught me to be thankful for what we have and that sometimes the little things bring the biggest amount of joy! She is my biggest cheerleader & I am her biggest fan. Everyday is new memory made & I pray that our hearts remember them with joy.

What would you do with $20,000?

I can’t even imagine… I would pay off some of my day to day debt, from trying to provide for me and my girl. Then I would take Gwen on a trip to wherever she wanted. In her 23 years, we have never been on vacation. I would give anything to tell her we can go on vacation and we don’t have to go to Gramma’s and call it a vacation. “We get to go somewhere you’ve always wanted to go. A real vacation! “ I’m getting emotional just thinking about it. This would be a honor to be able to give to my girl.
