“We first met three and half years ago at “Team Up”, a baseball program Justice’s parents set up for children that had disabilities. As a “buddy” I helped kids bat, throw balls, and run the bases. It was such an amazing and eye opening experience to be able to help the children learn and grow. It changed me as much as I could see it changed them. From there, I met Michelle, Justice’s mother, who since has become another mother figure to me. It’s so crazy to think that it could have been any of the other “buddies” who helped that year, but I was lucky enough to be the one that walked away as Justice’s babysitter. It’s funny because now I have become like their daughter- it’s a blessing. Once I talked to Michelle, she asked me to start babysitting him on occasion when her and her husband had plans, and from there it just fell into place. Justice is such an amazing, amazing little boy. He has truly changed my life. He is so happy ALL of the time & makes me feel loved. When nothing else seems to be going my way,  all I have to do is hear him say, “I love you, Rissa”, and everything seems to be better. We have the best of memories together, and it’s the little things that we share that make it precious. He loves The Wizard of Oz, so we pretend that I am the Tin man and he’s the Scarecrow- our roles seem to never change, but we are happy to invite other “characters” in to join. Movies are what make him “tick”. If it is one of his favorite movies, you better believe he can sing every song and act out every word. He can be a handful at times, but he can make my heart melt every time I am with him. He is just an incredible little boy.”
