Today is Jaycee Birthday and she turned 13! WOW! It seemed like just yesterday she was born and we were bringing her home from the hospital. I have so many great things to say about Jaycee and maybe its because she is my sweet little girl but mostly because she has the most incredible spirit. She is extremly shy until you get to know her. She is so funny and is always making our family laugh. She loves to make her Dad laugh by calling him her pet gorilla. Some of my most favorite memories of Jaycee is the first time she left our side to play with some friends. It was a hot summer day and Jeff, Jaycee and I were out on our deck at our old home. She was four years old I believe. I even remember what she was wearing that day....the cutest yellow summer outfit with her hair down in curls. The neighbors next to us asked if she could come play! She looked at Jeff and I as she took the neighbors hand and went in there back yard to play. Jeff and I could see her but I remember her checking on us every sec. as she slid down the neighbors slide. I even remember her running back and kissing us and then going and playing again. She started growing up and eventually would go play without the checking on us every sec. She has grown up to be a sweet girl always worried about us and everyone dear to her. In gym this last year she was the one that would choose teams in her Gym class. I was told she would always pick the handicap girl very first...that was in her class. She has a great love for people! This year she would also talk about the handicap boy that would wait for the bus with her. When she brought home her yearbook signed by all her friends she did not exclude her friend from the bus stop, he was the first to sign it. Jaycee has taught me so much and I can't put into words how very blessed I am for having her in my life. I remember how happy I was when I was told that I was having a baby girl....a daughter...a best friend. She truly is my pride and joy! I love you so much Jaycee! Happy Birthday my baby girl...my daughter...my best friend.
