The first time I met Monica, she hugged me. She was my assistant’s eldest daughter and I was dropping him off. It would be with her that I would plot to surprise her father with a family session. I got to see her take care of her younger sister and I knew that one day she would be a great mom. Her son is set to arrive on December 19, 2022, and even though her dad and I share the same name, if he is named Jesse, I will say it is for me!
This pregnancy is something Monica had prayed fo. She thought it would happen. It was scary when it did. She kept it a secret and didn’t tell Phillip, her husband for three days because she wanted to go to the doctors and make sure.
She wishes her baby is happy and healthy and loved. And her dreams and prayers is that he follows God and he’s a good person.
