The positive attitude AJ has is beautiful and how she keeps herself busy within the community. Helping other young mothers. I am amazed and so proud. I wonder what she is up to now. You deserve a hats off to you my dear and many more.
AJ is the EPITOME of a super mom. Her temperament is so relaxed and chill. I wish her and her family the absolute best.
Aj is pretty awesome!
Very proud of her and her kids for helping their mom.
My friend is totally blind & lives in NYC here. When her kid was young, she put him on a leash when in public & when unaccompanied by her husband or other adult. Yes, she had a guide dog, but w/the cars, child abductors and crazy stuff, I can't blame her. Still, people said nasty stuff. When he was a toddler, she put a screen door on the kitchen because she couldn't keep him from the knives, hot stove, etc. But she could hear him playing, crying, etc. right outside the screen. It is amazing how kids understand mom's limitations at a young age, though, and really adapt.
She's not pretending to be anything.
She is just so matter-if-fact.
She’s such an inspiration. It’s amazing how she handles 3 kids with sight loss as someone who has sight loss and will soon be a mum myself it gives me more hope that I will be ok too and hopefully bring my kids up as well as AJ has
All I can say is that She is a wonderful woman and mother.
Some have both eyes 20/20 vision and choose to ignore and mistreat their children.
This woman here is what a real Mother is about. 💓💓💓💓 I wish her all the health and energy to keep up with her precious children 💓💓💓💓
I hope she is in a great place now
What an amazing lady! Things we abled people take for granted like prepping ingredients for dinner is more difficult for her but she does it. The word her brother was looking for is " recognition " And she should be. Like a reward from local or national Government on Mothers Day. No other more deserving. Thank you for uploading.
Thank you for watching Covis!
AJ you're beyond amazing !! LOVE YOU !!
She has such a beautiful spirit....very inspiring to me. I'm also a disabled mom expecting baby number 2 and this gives me hope that I can do it.
As a visually impaired person who would like to have kids, this is really nice to find.
We're glad you enjoyed this Pianobooks42.. Hopefully you stay tuned for more of our episodes!
A great mum. inspiration to others
She’s wonderful 💚
*I think AJ is a lot better as a mom than many others I've seen! (pun intended..)*
I had a lot of anxiety when it came to cooking because I didn’t know if the food was going to be fully cooked anyone I give my kids in the uncooked food and yeah but now I do it and I feel confident
She is such an inspiration!!❤️
Wow, inspirational mum. All the best to Aj and her family for the future.
Thanks for watching Levi, hope you enjoyed it 😊
AJ you are so amazing and such an inspiration I'm so blown away, I will think so much more before I personally complain about anything. Thank you for being so strong and beautiful in all your ways.
you’re courage life is not established we can do what’s ever we want. Stay strong!
I love that she's mentoring teen moms....I had another friend who was a teen mom. They get so much criticism and that doesn't help them, even if they did make a big mistake. They need help and encouragement, particularly if they don't have supportive families.
Thanks for watching D Garbato, hope you enjoyed watching!

Love you- your story is beautiful
@Attitude, would be great to get a follow-up on her to see how she’s doing these days. I thought she was wonderful. Thanks!
Good for you AJ your doing it all, vision or not. Even reaching out to help others. What a champ. I have other autoimmune diseases that are basically inflammation in my joints and spine and a few otherthings occasionally.I have had UVitis sp, a few times but mine goes away again with meds. It's not
the best but we all have the make the best of what ever circumstances we have. You are doing it very well. Good on you and all the best for the future. Best wishes from AU.
Definitely the thing that worries me and makes me feel really bad is not able to drive not able to take my kids out on the weekend not able to take them to the amusement park the zoo stuff like that
I have a cervical vision impairment. Now I feel blessed compared to the story of this complex process
Wow.
Think AJ the mom needs orientation and mobility training that would she'll be more independent. I'm a mom, and I done have done the orientation and mobility training with the cane and with the guide dog.
Thanks for watching Kelsey, hope you enjoyed!
I am wondering if the adjuvants in vaccines that are in there to stimulate the immune system care causing the increase in autoimmune diseases. I think this needs to be independently researched.
Autoimmune diseases can be devastating.
It's just sad that she won't always be able to see her children change as they grow older.
She seems ultra smart. I’m sure she will find a way to keep track of those moments.
I would probable use a kids leash.
Do they not have assistances at the supermarket there?
ho dad didn't appear
What about if he chose to not take any of her light from the interview about her?
He is around , just not in the video.
Thinking helps! Highly recommended.
