~Dear Ashley

Dear ASHLEY SUSAN JAEGER ~
WooHoo!! This is your last year as a teenager! My FIRST BORN! Oh how I remember clearly when you were born. So early & tiny... MY PREMIE BABY. We all were worried for you. You were one strong baby & continue to be. I loved how you were the one baby of mine that NEVER slept in your CRIB or CRADEL. I held you all the time. You nuzzled in bed with daddy & I (due to your apnea monitor). Well, really until your sister was born-17 months later!
Ask anyone ... I never let you go.

You were the most beautiful baby. Big eyes, adorable smile, sweet personality, loved to play house, little bossy, a dreamer, very spiritual, enjoys nature, helpful all the time, loves people, very girly, never liked to get dirty, had to be perfect, shy, dancer at a young age,
pleaser, always giggly, ...

♥Now as you continue to grow from a Young Woman into a beautiful Adult ... I am amazed at the daughter that I have. Even though we may but heads at times it's hard for me to cut the strings ... I know I need to let you fly on your own ~
knowing you will always visit the NEST!

♥Thank you for being you & accomplishing so many things in your life already. You are a hard worker. I am proud of you & thank you for teaching me how to be a better person by your countless examples.
Love ~ MOM XO :)
