Kaylee Rose Smith

Kaylee Rose Smith came into our lives 4 years ago when Jeffrey became a father. We had the opportunity to have her live with us this past year. It was sometimes a challenge being a parent to her instead of a grandparent, but mostly it was a great blessing to us. We got to know her better than we ever did before and she got to know us. We have a bond and love that will never be broken. It is wonderful. We were able to teach her about Jesus and praying. She taught me that I am never to old to dance, prance, laugh, and/or ride a merry-go-round. She is with her dad full time now, as it should be of course. But, we love and miss her. Jeffrey is happy and with Danielle. She took these pictures of Kaylee. She is not only going to school to be an RN but she is a very good photographer. She has 3 children, 2 girls and a boy. The girls live with Jeff and Danielle and so Kaylee has two sisters all of the time, one younger and one older. She spent this weekend with us and I can tell you she is very happy! She asked me to get her some school work to do at home. Jeffrey is going back to school, Danielle is in school, and she wants to have some work to do when they do homework. We have had a fun weekend with her. I am exhausted and she is going home tomorrow. We are already making promises about the things we will do next time she comes to visit. She tells me she "loves me big much"! Who would not give anything to hear that from a small child. I am so blessed!
