Boy of the Year!

Jaleel was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphblastc Leukemia in July of 2020. As a very active family, his diagnosis came out of nowhere and combining this with COVID has been even more strenuous. Only one parent is allowed in the hospital while he receives treatment, so finding the time to take turns as parents with our work schedule's has been difficult.
Jaleel is such a polite and loving ball of energy. He is so compassionate and caring for others that it puts us in awe. He is always asking questions about others to make sure they are okay such as, "How did you sleep last night?" and "How was your day?"He is such a a great kid and we could not ask for a better son.
