Melissa Meola

I have always done whats needed to ensure my kids want for nothing. No matter how down in life I have been, I have never let my kids see it.

What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Watching my children grow up to be the best versions of themselves. I was young when I had them so i have always been scared inside if i was guiding them correctly to always do the right thing and make good choices

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

About 9 years ago after my mom moved to Florida, the kids and I went to visit her. But a single mom with a fear of flying and 2 young kids in tow, flying wasn't an option for me, so we took a train. The ride down was a trip that made me regret not flying. But on the way back I ended up paying a little extra to get a personal cabin. My kids LOVED it. we shared a 3 x 5ft cabin with bunkbeds It wasn't much but for those 24hrs my kids felt like we were so special having our own room on a train.

What would you do with $20,000?

This I think is the hardest question. I would put some aside to help my son get his first car, and work on getting some much needed home renovations done to coarse my kids to never want to move out. Plan a trip for us to fly to visit my mom and definitely an enjoyable vacation for all of us somewhere beautiful!
