When did you realize moms have superpowers? 

“I realized I had super powers when my son was 6 weeks old and the doctors told me he needed to start chemotherapy. He had to have a port put into his heart to administer it, which needed constant monitoring for nearly a year. As devastating as that moment was, I knew I had to be super-strong to help my son get through that.”
