Come on now, come down now.

We draw maps and plans to escape.
And these little lines we trace will follow our veins
Through our wrists, through our arms,
To where it all starts,
To where the blood is pumped from our hearts.

New born

Welcome to the world, Lenni Ella Monroe.

Jessi, i am so proud of you.
I know times are tough, but you're going to be an amazing mother.
You've come so far, and now that she's here, i know you'll make the most of it.

I can't wait to meet this little girl.
I'm sure she's as beautiful as her mother.


I love you Jessi, congratulations.
Don't ever give up<3
