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

The most rewarding part? Watching her bloom. After a long wait, seeing her learn, become her own person, it's pure magic. Guiding her, loving her, and then... experiencing the world anew through her eyes. Sometimes, she sees beauty I'd miss entirely, a fresh, joyful perspective. It's like living life twice, but better.

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

My journey to motherhood was a long and winding road. I waited patiently to find the right partner to co-parent with, someone who would be a loving and supportive father for my children. Then, as I was getting older, I experienced the devastating loss of a pregnancy. It was a heartbreaking time, but I never gave up hope. And finally, my daughter was born. Holding her in my arms was a moment of pure joy and relief I will never forget. It was a testament to the power of love and prayers.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I won $20,000, it's a family trip, no question. My sisters' kids helped me learn to be a mom while I was waiting for my chance at motherhood, and I want to show them the world alongside my daughter. It's a thank you, an adventure, and a chance to expand the horizons of our future generations and expose them to all the possibilities for them in this world.
