What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Being present with them everyday is my blessing and reward. I thank God everyday for the opportunity to serve as the mother of my children. I enjoy watching them mature and grow into beautiful young ladies. I don’t have a single most rewarding part about being a mom. I love ALL parts, including the challenges. I pray God blesses them to achieve all their hearts’ desires and I will be here to support every step along the way!

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

I have fibromyalgia and some days are extremely difficult to get around or even get out of bed. One particular morning, the pain was pretty bad and I had a horrible migraine as well. The thought of getting out of bed to get medicine or even call my family to help was overwhelming. While in my thoughts, my girls came in and asked if I was okay. They brought me medicine and breakfast in bed. It was then I realized how much they had grown and the connection we share. Proud mommy moment!

What would you do with $20,000?

We are caretakers for my mother-in-law who has dementia. Some days it really takes a toll on my husband and he does not currently have a space in our home where he can go be alone to unwind and clear his mind. $20,000 would definitely make it possible for me to provide that space.
