I want to do what they do. I want to play what they play. I want to read them. I want to build blocks, try to be as active as possible and pay attention to what they are doing and know that I value their time and appreciate who they are.
Thanks to her son, Donna is a grandmother of three children Jason Kelcewho shares daughters Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, 8 months, with his wife Kylie Kelce.

If they enjoy doing something, they will do it again and again. … Whether it’s art or sports or music or whatever they like to do, try to get them to do it and try to help and support them with that.”
