Natalie Hawkins, the mother of 2012 Olympian Gabby Douglas, speaks candidly about the highs and lows of raising an Olympic gymnast, including the moment in San Jose when she finally allowed herself to say it was all worth it. She also talks about helping Gabby overcome her shyness to enjoy the media spotlight.
