But don’t worry because I’ll never outgrow being your doting (worry wart) Mama. I’ll never be too far away, too busy, or too tired if you should need me,” she said. “Keep being good natured &amp; respectful; these strong traits of yours will carry you well through life. I love you from here to eternity. Fly and soar high, my Son. Keep making us proud.. and may our Heavenly Lord bless and keep you.”</p><p>Aside from Jacob, Dawn and her husband also have a daughter named Ayisha Madlen, who turned 14 last June.</p>
