Life is a test. We are not present on earth to just exist; we are here to learn. Life is a lesson. Love one another unconditionally. Love thyself unconditionally. We spend our whole lives learning to do this. Some succeed and some never have a clue. I'm trying. Love my fellow man. Don't react and don't always have to be right. This is one I'll have to work on for the rest of my life. Appreciate each day and recognize positive and negative as a part of life's experiences. Look around me and see life at it's best. The joys of living come as you strive to achieve your dreams. Its the quality of each day that is important, not the distant dream once achieved. Teach and nurture my children. You can never give them too much love. -Randa Jex 1/1/94

We cannot tell you how much we adore you Lil’ Buddy! We can’t wait to go get you out of the crib in the morning and see that gummy grin smiling at us. Every day you have a new expression that cracks us up or a new trick to blow us away! Thanks for making the last 6 months so fun….our hearts our busting at the seams for you!
