Haley, 6, and Hope, 3, recently recalled receiving a handwritten note at her home criticizing her for starting a family later in life.
"I opened the letter and it was something along the lines of, 'How dare you bring a child into this world at your age? Don't you know what you're doing to that child?' Like, it went on and on," Kotb, 58, recalled on the NBC morning show."It took my breath away because that actually was my ouch. I was scared. Like, is this something that is smart for me to do? Am I helping or am I going to ultimately be harming? Like, I've thought about that.
She explained that the letter made her reflect on her experience with losing a parent following the death of her dad, Abdel Kader Kotb, in 1981 when she was in college. "I remember thinking, we have our parents for a period of time," Kotb noted."I know the foundation he left. I know it was worth every second of that time. So I thought about that too. It can hit you in a place where you're the most vulnerable."
