Y’all join me in wishing Jack Parnell Happy Birthday!!!
15 years ago today, Jack Ellis Parnell burst into this world.
Jack was born over Texas soil though his birthplace is listed as Nashville, TN.
(It’s a Texas thing 🤷♂️)
I can’t say enough about our fine young man but luckily, I don’t have to because most of you know Jack firsthand! He a special guy with a heart of gold.
Last night, we celebrated his birthday with dinner at his favorite restaurant, Del Frisco's, with family and close friends. After dinner we stepped outside and walked toward valet when Jack’s birthday gift rolled up to the curb: his new/used Ford Bronco Sport, the same truck Stacey has and it has become Jack’s dream truck!
After 15 years of life, neither his mom nor I had never seen him speechless! He was literally dumbfounded! It took him 10 minutes just to find the words.
Sweet boy.
Now, we’re not just tossing him the keys and wishing him good luck, mind you. Jack is set to begin his drivers education course very soon so he can obtain a hardship license allowing him to drive back and forth to school.
Nobody I know is more deserving and no one will take better care of the “Jackmobile” than our Jack.
“Son… we love you so much and we are so proud of you!
You’ve reached all the goals that you set in middle school and now you begin your high school years. Just keep doing what you’re doing and dream big! We can’t wait to see what you do with your life now!
Life just keeps getting better and better, now that you are in it."
Love,
Mom, Dad, Stacey, Virgil and your entire family!!!!
