🇯🇵❤️ Jaycee & Jayden are in JAPAN. ❤️🇯🇵

I’ve started writing this post a few times because I honestly don’t know how to explain what this does to my heart.

My sister Sarah and brother-in-law Harrison are in Japan right now, and they took my girls with them. Not physically, of course… but in the way that means everything to a mom who would give anything to have her babies here.

They carried Jaycee and Jayden with them. ❤️

While having an omakase dinner in Tokyo, one of their waiters and his assistant went above and beyond to make their night special. Through conversations during dinner, they learned that he had recently gotten married and would love to have children, but had some doubts because of their age.

Before they left, Sarah and Harrison gave him a tip — even though tipping isn’t customary in Japan — along with a Jaycee and Jayden card and asked him to continue spreading kindness in their names.

And he was honored. He was excited to do it.

Halfway across the world, someone who never knew my daughters now knows their names. ❤️

I just keep thinking about that.

For the last three years, Sarah and Harrison — along with so many people we love — have continued to make sure Jaycee and Jayden are remembered. They say their names. They carry their cards. They look for opportunities to do something kind because of them.

There is no way I could ever explain what that means to me as their mom.

When you lose your children, one of the greatest gifts anyone can give you is to remember them without having to be reminded.

To think of them.

To say their names.

To carry them with you.

To help make sure their little lives continue to mean something in this world.

Sarah and Harrison, thank you for taking my babies to Japan. 😭❤️. Thank you for thinking of them in a moment when I wasn’t there to remind you. Thank you for loving them. Thank you for helping their story travel farther than I ever could have imagined.

I would give anything to be watching my girls grow up right now. I would give anything to know who they would be today.

But knowing that, 13 years after they came into this world, their names are being spoken in Tokyo… and that a complete stranger is now going to carry a little piece of their kindness forward…

That absolutely breaks my heart and fills it at the exact same time.

Jaycee Lynn & Jayden Lee made it to Japan. 🇯🇵❤️

My babies are still traveling this world.

Still spreading love.

Still spreading joy.

Still spreading kindness.

And still so incredibly loved.

Forever. 💜🩷

A month I wish with every fiber of my being didn’t exist.

Some of us don’t need a month to remember—we remember Every. Single. Day.

Jaycee & Jayden… you are loved beyond words, missed beyond measure, and forever a part of me. 💜🩷💔💔

💜🩷 I’m putting this out into the universe and hoping the right person sees it.

Three years ago, I was simply a mom looking for a way to make sure my daughters, Jaycee and Jayden, were always honored and remembered.

They were only here for a short time, but I’ve always believed the length of a life doesn’t determine its impact. Their tiny footprints can still leave an everlasting imprint on this world—and take HUGE steps toward creating a kinder, gentler world in their honor.

What started as small acts of kindness in their memory has grown into something I never imagined. Thanks to the incredible support of my friends and family and our community, I’ve felt a push—from my girls, God, the universe…maybe all three—that it’s time to do more.

And now, Jaycee & Jayden’s Joyful Hearts is officially a nonprofit.💜🩷

Our mission is to honor their lives by bringing kindness, joy and hope to children and families in need, especially the kiddos right here in our community.

I’m incredibly proud to have created this for my girls, but now I need help making it grow. And asking for help with something this personal isn’t easy for me.

Right now, our biggest need is a Treasurer for our Board of Directors. I’m looking for someone with a finance or accounting background who believes in this mission and wants to help us get started. Even a six-month commitment while we get established would mean so much.

You wouldn’t just be filling a board seat—you’d be helping build something from the ground up that can make a lasting difference for children for years to come.

If this speaks to your heart—or you know someone who might be the perfect fit—please reach out or share this post.🙏

I’m just a mom who wants the world to remember her girls and to make sure their short lives continue to create something beautiful in this world. I just need a little help making it grow. 🙏💜🩷

My heart is so incredibly full. 💜🩷

A huge thank you to Jameson Basketball, and especially to my amazing brother-in-law Harrison Deyo, for creating the Dante Kaintz Award, in honor of my brother-in-law Tony’s youngest brother, Dante and Jaycee & Jayden’s Joyful Hearts. 💜🩷

The award recognizes a player who goes above and beyond to help others and is truly coachable — and this year, that player and his family were gifted a FREE week of basketball camp. 🏀❤️

Harrison and my amazing sister, Sarah, have never, ever forgotten my girls. They continue to honor them by spreading love, joy and kindness wherever they can, and I honestly could never put into words how much that means to me.

Thank you, Harrison, Sarah, and Jameson Basketball, for helping my girls’ little lives continue to make a difference in this world.

This is exactly what Jaycee and Jayden’s Joyful Hearts is all about.

Love. Joy. Kindness. Always.

Jaycee and Jayden, my precious girls, you are never, ever forgotten. 💜🩷

My sweet Jaycee and Jayden,

Today you would be 13 years old.

Somehow it’s been 13 years, yet there are still moments when it feels like I should be tucking you into bed, hearing your laughter, or wondering what you wanted for your birthday. Time keeps moving, but a mother’s love and the heartache of you not being here never does.

Three years ago, on what would have been your 10th birthday, I started a simple Kindness Project because I needed the world to remember you. I needed your lives, no matter how brief, to continue making a difference.

And oh, have you made a difference.

Because of you both, kindness has reached people across our community, throughout the United States, and even around the world (Costa Rica, Portugal, Canada). Complete strangers have smiled, cried, and chosen kindness simply because they learned about two little girls named Jaycee and Jayden.

For a long time, I felt the universe or God placing something bigger on my heart. Little by little, doors were opened that I never could have imagined. During your birthday week, that dream became a reality.

Jaycee & Jayden’s Joyful Hearts is officially a nonprofit.

One of those doors opened in the most unexpected way. Last year, one of our kindness cards was given to a wonderful waitress at Deitsch Eck Restaurant. A few months later, owner Steve and his team chose our organization as the recipient of their Plate It Forward holiday campaign. Their $300 donation became the very first official gift to Jaycee & Jayden’s Joyful Hearts.

Steve, thank you. You may never know what that donation truly meant to me. It wasn’t just financial support—it was the encouragement I needed to turn a grieving mother’s kindness project into a nonprofit that will bring joy, hope, and kindness to children and families who need it most. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to Steve and everyone at Deitsch Eck Restaurant for believing in this mission. If you’ve never been there, please support this wonderful family-owned restaurant. Their food is incredible, but their generosity is even greater.

Changing the name from “Jaycee and Jayden’s Joy to the World” wasn’t easy because that’s where this journey began. But the heart behind it has never changed. My girls, your legacy will continue bringing joy, hope, and comfort to children and families for years to come.

My girls, you and your amazing little sister are still my reason. You three are the reason I keep going on the hardest days. I would trade every accomplishment in the world if it meant I could simply be your mommy with you here beside me. Since I can’t, I’ll spend the rest of my life loving you the only way I know how—by making sure this world feels you.

I hope I’m making you proud. Every decision I make, every family we help, every child we comfort… I do it with you in my heart.

Happy heavenly 13th birthday, my beautiful twin precious girls.

I miss you every single day. I love you beyond words, beyond time, and beyond this life.

Forever your Mommy. ❤️

A huge thank you to Nanny and Aunt Donna for honoring my sweet Jaycee and Jayden in such a beautiful way. At Tuesday’s Pizza Night, they quietly paid for a Pennsylvania State Police officer’s family.

Acts of kindness like this are exactly what Jaycee and Jayden’s legacy is all about—spreading love, joy, and compassion. Knowing my babies continue to touch lives through the generosity of those who love them means more than words can say.

Thank you, Nanny and Aunt Donna, for helping keep their beautiful legacy alive. It means more than I can express. 💜🩷🙏

💜 A New Name... The Same Hearts. 🩷

When I first began this journey, I chose the name Jaycee & Jayden's Joy to the World because I wanted my baby's lives to inspire kindness, love, and hope for others.

As this dream has grown, so has the vision.

I'm so excited to officially share that we are now Jaycee & Jayden's Joyful Hearts. 💕🦋

This new name feels like the perfect reflection of who I believe Jaycee and Jayden would have been, if they would have had the chance. This new name is also what this organization is all about—bringing joy, sharing kindness, and creating moments of hope for children and families who need it most.

While the name has changed, the mission has not. In fact, it's only grown. Every act of kindness will continue to honor my two precious girls, whose lives, though incredibly short, continue to leave a lasting impact on this world.

And this is just the beginning...

✨ We have some big, exciting announcements coming soon, and I can't wait to share what's next for Jaycee & Jayden's Joyful Hearts.

Thank you for believing in this dream and for helping us carry their legacy forward—one joyful heart at a time. 💜🩷

Stay tuned... some amazing things are on the horizon. ✨🙏

Today was one of those moments that sticks with you. 💜🩷

Shallon and I went to Chris’s Diner and had the sweetest waitress, Lori. From the moment she came to the table, she had us laughing with her fun personality and kindness. She was so attentive and genuine, and I knew right away Jaycee and Jayden would leave their mark on her heart today. 💜🩷

When we gave her the card with the 100% tip, she was completely touched and gave us both a hug. It was such a beautiful reminder that small acts of kindness and appreciation can mean so much.

And a special thank you to Shallon for helping me spread kindness and joy in honor of Jaycee and Jayden. 💜🩷

Thank you, Lori, for making our day so special. 💜🩷

Sometimes the smallest moments turn into something much bigger. ❤️

Sunday morning at breakfast, we met the sweetest waitress. You could just feel her kindness—warm, genuine, the kind of person who makes you feel welcome right away. In conversation, she mentioned she has four kids… and you could tell she carries a lot while still showing up with a smile.

My friend, Joe, chose to leave her an incredibly generous tip.

What happened next is something that tends to follow when kindness like this is shared—and somehow, it always feels just as powerful as the first time.

When she saw it, she immediately started to cry. Through tears, she shared that she’s currently going through a divorce and doing everything she can to support her four kids. She was almost speechless… struggling to find the words to thank him.

It was one of those moments where everything just pauses.

Joe, thank you—not just for honoring Jaycee and Jayden in such a meaningful way, but for truly living what this is all about. These acts aren’t just gestures… they ripple into real lives, real struggles, real moments where someone feels seen, supported, and maybe a little less alone.

This is what paying it forward looks like.
This is how we remind people that kindness still exists.
And sometimes… it’s exactly what someone needs to keep going.

Faith in humanity—restored, even if just for a moment. ✨
