Jen commented: “Happy birthday beautiful girl ! Mimi and Papa always love your hugs ! You are very special!”

“That’s a sweet comment and I remember she used to babysit Jayde, so I can imagine they have a special bond together, like an extra grandma,” one Reddit fan said.
Another said, “I think this is so sweet! Everyone is included. It’s how families should be!”
A third questioned, “Why does this break my heart for Jen?”
