Making sure that you are front and center for each of your child’s milestones is important to every parent. So when tennis star Serena William’s missed her daughter Alexis Olympia’s first steps, her heartbreak was truly understanding.
She took her first steps… I was training and missed it. I cried.

Lost my Mom one month ago. I never knew if she saw my first steps but I know that her being a working mom made me strong, resilient & showed me how to be independent even w/a great Dad to help! It was those lessons that are getting me through these days. Don’t beat yourself up!
