I just want to say.....

....how much I love this girl!!!

God saw fit to bless me and Pappy with one child....we won't go into details here as to why she's an only child....but....this is a pic of our girl....and her Momma!!!
Then....He went and blessed us again....when He saw fit to give us a wonderful son-in-law....and two precious GRAND-sons!!!

Jess is an AMAZING Momma.
The boys love her sooooo much.....and even though they love to come "play at Nannie's house"....they ask me while they're here...."where did Momma go?"....or, "where is Momma at?"....or "what is Momma doing?"
Even after enduring such a difficult pregnancy with Big Brother....she went thru it all again with Little Bit.  She had gestational diabetes, having to prick her finger several times a day and giving herself insulin shots toward the end of both pregnancies...then, endured C-sections....but....not with an epidural. 
Due to spinal problems, she had to be put to sleep...both times!!!

Why am I writing this?
Because....have you ever had anybody in your life...that inspired you to want to be better...do better...act better?
Well....this girl does that for me!!!
I go to her house...and she's decorated for EVERY holiday...and I come home and get all inspired and want to do the same here!!! 
Do we always get along....why, now no?!?!?
We butt heads sometimes....probably because we're a bit alike!!!
But....
....right now....she's getting healthier....and I'm soooo proud of her progress....and I told her Daddy today...that she's my inspiration to want to try to get this old body back into some kind of decent shape....before it's  WAY too late for me!!!

In case you don't know this already, Jess....
.....I LOVE YOU....so, so much!!!
