My mother could hardly walk with the arthritis she had.

She was so careful at every step and she seemed to know the other individual bears. Mother bears are a lot like humans. They put safety first.

When I was 2, my mother took me on a trip to Monticello, Virginia, ... I can't remember the trip, but I'm certain it inspired me.

I'm her mother so obviously I'm going to think she's a great kid, but yeah, I do think she is a humble person with all this happening. She'll have some advantages in her work for the future, but I just think she fit the part.

Elizabeth is 6 and has been involved since before she was born. Her mother was a walker while she was pregnant with Elizabeth.

She never got to enjoy (Landon) as a full-fledged mother.
