“Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” -Elizabeth Stone
Elizabeth Stone knows Motherhood. I live her quote every day of my life. I didn't understand Motherhood when I was pregnant with my first child but the minute I held him in my arms, I knew what it meant to have my heart walking outside my body. Being a Mom is the greatest title I will ever hold in this life.
Being a Mom is about doing for your children and putting their needs before you. I truly enjoy being a mom. Earlier today my 6 year old son, Duke, asked me for a hug and I told him, "I don't know you" and he replied, "You picked me up in the driveway, remember?" - we laughed and shared a huge hug. Being a Mom is spontaneous hugs, laughs, jokes and always showing them you support them and will always love them. I have shared my stories, taught them right from wrong, good from bad and just hope I have given them the confidence to chase their dreams like I have. My sons Ty, Damien, Duke and Omar can count on me to be their biggest cheerleader. I want them to succeed.
Ondina López knows Motherhood too. Ondina has always supported her children in their pursuit of Taekwondo. Her four children used to practice in the garage, and during the winter she would run the dryer when they were practicing to help warm the garage, and would bring them ice and water during the summer.
Ondina López is the mom of London 2012 Olympic Games hopefuls Steven and Diana López, and is the heart of the "First Family of Taekwondo". Her children, Steven, Jean, Mark and Diana are at the world elite level in Taekwondo. Steven, Mark and Diana made history when they each won gold at the 2005 World Taekwondo Championships, becoming the first three siblings in any sport to claim World Championship titles at the same event.
Crest & Oral-B Complete help give Taekwondo fighter Steven López the confidence to show off his healthy, winning smile. López, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and bronze medalist will be competing in the 80kg division at this year’s Games. Crest & Oral-B Complete have also partnered with Steven’s mother, Ondina López, to highlight the importance mom’s support can play in an athlete’s success.
