Jay - thanks for all that you do. I appreciate the research that goes into your articles, the humor that you deliver every Saturday, and your willingness to share Riley with us.

She is just beautiful and no doubt lucky to have such a wonderful Ba.

This has been such a difficult week...thanks for what you've done to help brighten it.

Resist we must!

With support like hers, how can she possibly grow up to believe otherwise? 🥺❤️‍🩹

I love watching babies develop into they're own little person. I was always excited when my son (now 23) hit each next development. His father bemoaned son's aging and growing independence but I always fostered it. I couldn't wait. Now son is an amazing man... warm, affectionate, compassionate, empathetic and hard working. I am so proud of him. As I'm sure you will be of Riley. People say don't wish away the baby years... I say enjoy every single minute and wait with baited breathe for each and every exciting new development.

She is delightful, and so lucky to have you for her Ba. My heart hurts for my grandchildren, but the examples that we set will make them into the fighters that they will have to be. Soldier on, Jay. We need you.

She's adorable, Jay, and growing up too quickly. You're raising a dragon slayer in the time of dragons. No better teacher than you, imo.

Thank you, Jay, for continuing to be a voice in the darkness. Riley made a good choice when she picked you to be her Ba. ONWARD and UPWARD.
