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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is witnessing my son’s incredible strength and joy. Despite spending most of his life in the hospital, he fills every moment with smiles and laughter. Every milestone he reaches is a victory, the most precious gift. He is not his disease. He proves that every day with his resilience, his bright eyes full of wonder, and the most expressive little face. Watching him thrive against all odds is the greatest reward of motherhood. 💙

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

One memory I will never forget is the pure love my bonus daughter has for her little brother. While I was pregnant, she would kiss and hug my belly, eagerly waiting for his arrival. Then, birthing my son was a magical moment. I couldn’t believe my body did that. Now, every day, she asks for him on FaceTime, playing peek-a-boo and lifting his spirits while he’s in the hospital. I’m so lucky to have a bonus daughter who loves me and our family so deeply. Her bond with her brother is priceless. 💙

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, we would prioritize what matters most—family and making memories. Living in Florida, a Disney trip would be a dream, and visiting the Dominican Republic to see my bonus daughter would mean the world to us. Life is precious, and we cherish every moment together. We’ve also accumulated some debt from me not working full-time and buying a house, so we’d use part of it to ease that burden. This money would help us create unforgettable experiences while securing our future.
