00:00She's always calling her grandma Jean and she'll say like,
00:03like Lily Jean, like me, I'm Lily Jean, your grandma Jean.
00:17My grandma's name is Jean and my name is Amanda Jean and my mom was a single mom
00:27and my mom, you know, took care of me and helped raise me. And then when I had Lily, I
00:37felt like I needed to carry on the Jean. So we named her Lily Jean because my husband's grandma's
00:45name is Lily. And we both are very close with our grandmas. So we have grandma Jean and Amanda Jean
00:52and Lily Jean now. My grandma's super religious. So she had been praying for us and it took us a
00:59long time to get pregnant, almost a year. So, and she was, you know, she's so old. So as you know,
01:08another year passed, I was definitely worried that she wasn't going to make it. So when we
01:15found out we were pregnant, we took her out to lunch and we told her that if it was a boy,
01:20we were going to name him Joseph. And then we were like, but if it's a girl, we're going to
01:24name her, you know, after you, which she was just, you know, elated over. I came home from the
01:31hospital. I spent like two days in the hospital and I was like, called my mom and I was like,
01:35you need to bring grandma Jean here like right now. Cause we never know like how much time she
01:40has left. And she came and that was two years ago and she's still going. My daughter loves her.
01:48We see her. So we probably, I do try and go as often as I can. I probably go like once or twice
01:53a month. But she loves to FaceTime her all the time. And she's always calling her grandma Jean
02:00and she'll say like, like Lily Jean, like me, I'm Lily Jean, your grandma Jean. And they have a cute
02:06relationship together. They eat lunch together and they both like eat peanut butter and jelly.
02:12And she likes to visit her and just show her all the things that she can do and, you know,
02:17like read with her and try and like incorporate my grandma into almost everything I can like with
02:22Lily. Cause I want her to remember her too, but they do, they have a really sweet relationship
02:28and it's kind of like a full circle from my grandma taking care of me. And then, you know,
02:33being able to help me with my daughter and do things with my daughter. It's just, you know,
02:38it's really everything I could have asked for.
