Jett is simply the best! I thank God daily for him. Ever since he was born, he’s been easygoing — never complaining, never asking for anything, just going with the flow. He’s respectful, dependable and honest. He thrives in the classroom, on the golf course and on the track as a high jumper.

He’s a great friend, teammate and older brother, and I’m so proud to be his mom. From constant emails from teachers sharing kind words to coaches choosing him as a team captain, he continues to impress us all.

I know he will succeed in anything he sets his mind to, and I can’t wait to walk alongside him on his next journey. Keep being awesome, Jett — the world needs more people like you! 💙
