CHAPTER 4
JACQUELYN "ELIZABETH" CARVER-GREENWOOD
Fast Forward 18 years. It is now Wednesday, April 30, 2008.
Our precious, spunky, petite Jax no longer has the cute freckles on her nose and has healed nicely......and has met the man of her dreams. Matt. They dated a zillion years, read each others minds, finished each others sentences and played hard together. They were a perfect couple!
This was their wedding day. A day, 18 years earlier, we worried she might not live to see.
Now, a lot can be said about that day that I am going to leave unsaid.........but I WILL say I was a sniveling, choked-up, weeping, happy "Goober of An Aunt" ALL day.......
I watched as our little girl, whose hand I had held and fingers I had counted a million times over the years, was given to Matt....I couldn't have picked a better man to entrust with our little girl.....
And now, two years later, she is turning 30. THIRTY! I keep asking myself how this can be?? Wasn't it just yesterday that, while in my yellow and pink PJ's with the kittens on them, I was hanging up the phone after finding out I was going to be an aunt and wondering what my unborn niece would be like in 30 years.......
She's better than I could have ever dreamed.......
I Love You To the Moon and Back My Precious
Jax
Happy Birthday
from your very, very proud
Aunt Liz
Happy Birthday
from your very, very proud

This has been so heart warming. At first we were really sad not knowing what was to come in later chapters. Thank God she came through it and is able to enjoy a good life and thank you for sharing a very personal experience. Can't start to imagine what those early days must have been like !!!
Love,
