I remember when you took your first step.
I remember when you said “mama”.
I remember when you became best friends with your buddy Jack.
I remember when you loved Thomas and his train friends.
I remember when you sang “Jesus Loves Me” to me.
I remember when you called motorcycles “motodackas”
I remember when you welcomed your little sister with joyful love.
I remember when you memorized your first Bible verse.
I remember when you told your first knock-knock joke.
I remember when you discovered your love for jumping off the dock on your own.
I remember when you started to dress yourself.

I will remember your first day of Kindergarten just like I remember all these other things and more.

I love you so very much my little JJK. You are a joy and a light in my life. May the Lord bless your days in school. My you enjoy much, learn much, listen much, and laugh much. May you show respect, love, and kindness to your classmates and teachers. May the Lord go with you and guide you as you start this chapter of your life, “The School Years.” I love you!
