For those of you that do not know me, my name is tesslah. Lanaya is my baby cousin, but truthfully she’s more like my little baby sister. Our family dynamics are not what you would call normal. All of us kids spanning over all the different ages, we were raised as one, each child being born is just another extension of ourselves. A part of us that will never be replaced. When I learned the news of sweet baby jj my heart filled with so much happiness. You see, our family has suffered some great loss over the last few years. Jovan jr brought a spark into our lives when we needed it the most. We got the beauty of watching Lanaya and Jovan navigate this new life as parents of two. Watch the smiles on their faces as they watched their sweet little girl go from nervous to over the moon for her little baby brother.
There are no words to describe the pain our family is feeling right now. This is a pain no one is suppose to feel and especially not new parents. I can speak for my entire family when I say we thank our community for the outpouring of love, support, prayers, meals, donations, kind words, and anything else that has been given to Lanaya and Jovan and we will never be able to thank you enough.
We are saddened and so scared for the future that lies ahead
For it is now time for us to re learn what life is, to try and figure out how we begin to help jjs parents mend what physically cannot be mended.
We ask that you allow us to let our sweet baby rest in the hands of our grandmother for he will never know the pain this world has to offer, but we will.
And to my sweet jj. This isn’t goodbye. This is a thank you. Thank you for coming into our lives and providing us with immense joy we will never be able to replicate. We will see you again someday, and for that I will find comfort.
Rest in Peace little man. Shelly Rogers
