Five years later...

Valentine's is here again and Jenna's sacks have made more each year but the best part is that we have helped so many children.

Allison and Teddy are a mess and growing so fast. Allison is a smart six-year-old and she loves her brother. He is now five and is loving kindergarten.

Teddy is the spitting image of Theo and he loves the white chocolate green cherries like his grandpa Donnie.

Allison has beautiful long blonde hair like me and her daddy's piercing blue eyes. She's going to be trouble when she's older for sure.

Between my mom, Kalene and Patti she is spoiled beyond belief.

My mom and dad moved back from Florida to their house to be closer to the grandkids but go vacation in the summer to their Florida home and I couldn't be happier that they are back.

Beth and Jonny ended up getting married but they didn't want any kids but adopted a couple of dogs.

Issac is still my right-hand man and he can run Candy Rush with his eyes closed. He and Elena got married last year and the wedding was beautiful with the kids in it.

Beau and Hailey are still together but not ready for marriage or kids.

Josh he's still holding onto his single status until the right girl comes along.

Ali and Billy well they broke up and three months later got back together and even though they aren't married yet she is six months pregnant with a girl and I'm so excited to be an aunt.

Dad comes in sometimes and helps me make candy and I love that he is back helping me do what we both love.

He came up with a new mold for Jenna's candy and of course, it has a J on it, and it's beautiful. He somehow made roses around the J. I cried when I first saw it.

Chocolate has always been my passion but the love of a good man like Theo and our two children is what keeps me going.

I thank Jenna every day for bringing Theo into my life and I will spend the rest of my life making these J coins. Every Valentine's Day I go to her grave with a bunch of flowers and the sacks of candy and thank her for Theo.

The sacks are different each year and this year they have a big cursive J on the front.

As I packed the last coin in the pouch Theo walked in with Allison and Teddy because they wanted to help.

I smiled over at Theo. "I love you."

"I love you too Sweetness." He smiled over at me and winked.

I bit into a piece of chocolate and leaned over for him to take the other part and we had a chocolate kiss and the kids giggled.

"One of many sweetness."

"One of many Theo." I smiled.

Thank you for helping me along the way with ideas. ❤️

Thank you so much for the beautiful cover! 😘
