April 4, 1998 my life changed in the biggest way possible. That was the day my oldest son was born. I’m going to lead you up to the moment I realized that my life was going to be totally different. It was a warm day in July; this moment will stay with me forever. I was only 17, and normally I would go out and hang out with my boyfriend.

I didn’t only have to take care of myself, but I had another life depending on my every move.
