What William means to me

William has been such a huge part of my life since moving to FL. I was blessed that Tina and Ed chose me to be with him for a large part of his first year. Many fond memories of rocking him, singing to him and playing music which has become an integral part of his development. He loves staying overnight with me and my now deceased husband. A favorite of his was making popcorn!! I’ve had so much fun with him and his sweetness and personality just warms my heart everytime I’m with him. There is no greater feeling when I visit him than watching his eyes light up, running open-armed towards me yelling “Jackie” or snuggling up to me and saying “ I love you”..  What a gift God blessed me with when he brought William into my life.  Love your Jackie
