What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Seeing my kids smile& play knowing they're safe w/ a wonderful family that loves them. Also time, that we get to spend together, even tho we know it's short because we only have 18 years to get them to grow, learn respect, learn kindness & love for themselves & apply each of those things to their life so they grow up to be respectful young men& women who make a diff. in this diffiult world just by seeing their mom &dad help others as well, then grow them into what we lovingly have taught&shown

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

A memory I will never forget, is my sons came home from school, pulled me aside & told me that they needed:school supplies4 a little boy in there class that did not have any. My heart was so overfilled w/ joy, we were so happy to make that little boy a bag of supplies & goodies.. I asked my son why he wanted to do this, his reply was "Mommy, u taught me 2 love others, just like Jesus did. We have to help!" It made me so proud that he went above&beyond to make sure this boygotsupplies4school!

What would you do with $20,000?

For the last 3 years I have been very ill. I shattered my leg just 1week when my very first lilgirl got out of the nicu. I had to learn how to walk again 1 year later, take care of tinynewborn using a walker hopping on 1 leg with an internal&external fixator. I had a total of 9surgeries& the possibility of losing my leg cuz it wasn't healing. My husb. is the most amazing man& he had2 use the maxed out CC just 4 us to live! Please I want to take this pressure off him!! This man deserves this!!
