This is Happy N' Assolved with Sandy Scarlata.

Today I'm speaking with Landa Latimer.

Hello everyone, welcome to Happy N' Assolved.

Oh gosh, the interview that I have today that I'll be sharing with you is with a good friend of mine,

Landa Latimer. She is a single mother of three beautiful kids and her story is just incredible

and it's so inspiring. So her eldest son, kind of like a son to me, he's my son's best friend

and he is just such a joy and a delight and he stays here with us whenever you know

Landa needs some help or whatever and I saw him recently and my son wanted to have some kids

over and I have this rule during COVID that I'm like, no, nobody's coming in the house, you know,

all these college kids are super spreaders and so he was like, well, can we hang out in the garage

and I was like, sure, so I went out there to take a heater because it was a little cold and I saw

Isaiah and he's like, I want to give you a hug and I'm like, I don't know and he goes, well, I just

tested negative. I'm like, yeah, and yet you're standing here with all these kids. So I let him

give me a hug and then I looked and I was like, you've dyed your hair blonde. I'm like, you're trying

to look like me and he just has the cutest smile and he's got these dimples that are so cute.

But anyway, it was great to see him. I'll be it for a very short hot minute. So yeah, so I'm talking

with Landa today and her youngest daughter ended up being a preemie and the journey that she went

through was absolutely just I can't even imagine having to go through that. I only have one child.

Thank God, he was my miracle baby. But what Landa had to go through was just, I mean, when you

listen to this story, it's it's just I can't believe having to go through that. So we talked for

such a long time that we're actually going to split this interview up into two parts. So this is

the first part today and I hope you enjoy it. Thank you so much for joining me today. I'm so
