What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Being able to joke, laugh & see them smile is most importantly rewarding. When I was 23 I woke up one day and I couldn’t walk. That was the most terrifying part of my life. I spent months in the hospital undergoing a series of tests. Not knowing if I was gonna have a tomorrow. As I planned my obituary from the hospital, not sure who my kids would be left with. I pray to God asking, to allow me to see my kids become grown.16 years later and today is my tomorrow & I am surviving Sarcoidosis!

What would you do with $20,000?
