Following are Sam Sahrai’s words, as to why he believes his wife is worthy of the award.
“Tanya from the very beginning of her motherhood journey has maintained her focus that she has an incredible responsibility to instill faith, character, duty and a moral compass within our two daughters and son. She has honored them as people even though they are children, and she knows them as individuals and their unique talents. She has maximized her opportunities to teach them about many aspects of life and has used difficult moments to direct back to their faith and their character.
She believes, as I do, that her greatest legacy she will leave behind in this world is the character of the children we raise.
Tanya works hard to instill good values so our children have the roots needed to thrive in this world when it is time for them to move on from her care.
She has been trying hard to teach our oldest daughter just turning into teen-age years to build the confidence to think on her feet and work through life’s challenges with the qualities she has instilled in her.
She realizes that life is never easy and raising good children is incredibly difficult even without the challenges that get layered on. So she is committed to do the best she can to instill good values and foundation in our children to raise their chances to meet their potential as they grow up.
