What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The best part of being a mom is the fact that I actually get to watch my daughter, my heart and my everything grow up in front of my eyes as I never imagined being a mother due to my health and was always told never have children.

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

The day she turned a year old. I cried when she turned one because I didn’t think she or I would have ever made it to that point. She wasn’t suppose to be alive and neither was I.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would pay off my car I got, put money into a savings account for my daughter, and put money on to a house so I can stop renting and just buy what I would love to have a dream HOME. I want to make my life better. I have a very hard timing making ends meet and live paycheck to paycheck and it’s rough.
