Always Going Above and Beyond

Sharaya was born on October 6, she's the second of our three girls.

Beth was just turning two when she was born and she couldn't get enough of her!

Sharaya has a tender spirit and is always going above and beyond what she is asked. When she was young she was helpful at home and at school. 

She's two years younger than Beth and would help her with things when she was really little. I remember when she was four, she helped Beth put a toy back together. When Diana was two, Sharaya was six and would play with her after she got home from school. And she's still that considerate as an adult. She worked at a middle school for a couple years, then due to budget cuts had to move to the transportation department. And you know, she still goes back to that middle school to volunteer where she can! She helps at school activities or makes posters. 

And as a mom? Due to addiction and abuse she became a single mom many years ago and she and Ally have such a close relationship. She has created a bond that is carrying them through the teen years.

She's an incredible woman and I'm humbled to be her mom.

Happy Birthday Sharaya!
