In a recent episode ofher podcast, Savannah opened up aboutthe words of wisdom her father gave herabout raising Grayson and Chloe.

“He was like, ‘Savannah, what you’re about to do … is going to be the toughest thing you’ve ever done, but it’s going to be the most rewarding,'” the reality star recalled.

“And literally, I was laying in bed with Chloe the other night and she literally hugged me up, put her arm around me, and she goes, ‘I just want to let you knowyou’re doing a really good jobwith Mom and Dad gone,’ and I literally was like, ‘That, kids, that’s what it’s all about,'” she added. “It can be so hard, but when they feel the love, and you see a smile on their face, doesn’t matter if you have the crappiest day in the world. It literally changes everything.”
