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

Bringing forth life and watching this beautiful life grow/develop before your eyes. Showing up when my children need/want me the most. Feeling/seeing how much it means to them how Mom made their situation smoother, lighter, brighter, or easier to get through. Watching my children blossom/succeed beyond my accomplishments while feeling the love, care, guidance, teaching, training I gave/instilled in them contributed to the successful, kind, generous, loving adults they have become. Their smiles.

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

Each pregnancy/birthing experience of my children holds sentimental memories/deep value for me. I asked God to let my 1st baby be a boy/son. He did! I back packed him everywhere with me. My 2nd, a daughter born still. Never forgotten. My 3rd, a daughter who was eager to arrive, making a grand entrance. I delivered her at home on the sofa! I wanted a home birth, but a planned one. My 4th, identical twin daughters weighing almost 11 lbs together. My 5th, a daughter, my baby girl, my comforter.

What would you do with $20,000?
