00:00Gosh, what was the hardest part of going through all of this, besides the heights, you know, just the day-to-day?
00:04I mean, some of the girls are mentioning, like, the food and just, you know, you don't have anything and you really have to bond together.
00:11Yeah, the food, the heat, all that stuff was, like, super hard, but for me, it was, I had never left my son that long.
00:18And you're very strict on, like, if you can call somebody, like, you know, you're by yourself there.
00:22So that was, like, really difficult for me because I've never, ever been gone from cruise more than, like, two or three days on a work trip.
00:30And if it's something else, like, he travels with me.
00:32So that was definitely the longest time I'd ever been away from him.
00:35That was really hard.
00:36Yeah, I was going to ask you, how did you kind of explain this to him and, you know, mommy leaving for a little longer than a week and going through all of that?
00:45I'm sure it was amazing to get back home.
00:46Oh, yeah, best thing ever was coming back home.
00:49And with Cruz's autism, I just really wanted to, like, make sure he knew that I was coming back and that I was going to be there.
00:56And I FaceTimed him any chance that I got.
00:58And, you know, that was, like, super important for me.
01:01Brought a photo of him with me, like, stuff like that, you know.
01:04But he was happy to see me when I got back.
01:06Oh, I'm sure.
01:07And doing this whole experience, I'm sure, was to, you know, prove how strong mom is.
01:12And you do everything for him.
01:13Yeah, he's my little baby, even though he's so big and he's four.
01:18But, yeah, I just wanted to show him, like, even if things are scary, you can still try.
01:22And that's, like, an important lesson.
