She described the experience as one that reshaped her outlook on life and motherhood, noting that it came with physical, emotional, and mental challenges.
According to her, she devoted much of her time and energy to raising her children, often prioritising their needs over her own health, sleep, and business activities.
She recalled a particularly demanding period when she raised two toddlers while heavily pregnant in the United States without family support, describing it as exhausting but meaningful.
Kris Asimonye said she attended every school event and milestone in her children’s lives despite the pressures of parenting, adding that motherhood became the centre of her daily existence.
She also reflected on the emotional toll of sleepless nights, constant responsibilities, and silent prayers during difficult moments.

Asimonye noted that as her children grow older, she is gradually beginning to rediscover herself while still maintaining her role as their support system.
She also used the opportunity to acknowledge mothers everywhere, describing their daily sacrifices as often unseen but deeply impactful in shaping lives.
The post has since resonated with many social media users, drawing praise for its honesty and emotional depth.
