"We were just wiping makeup and tears off of Daddy's coat, and as I was doing it, I said, 'Daddy, I remember all the little runny noses and slobbers and all those things that, you know - we called it baby cologne."
Jinger laughed at her mother's reference to her bodily fluids as Michelle went on.
"The spit-up and all those wonderful things, and I look now, and I see this godly woman.
"Daddy and I are so thankful for you, Jinge. You are a joy," she concluded, giving a teary-eyed Jinger a side hug.
