The young mom called her own parents “role models” and said she wishes she and Jeremy can raise Felicity “with that same nurturing care and devotion.”
Jinger ended her letter by saying, “I love you both dearly!” and signing off, “Your grateful daughter, Jinge.”
The post comes a few weeks after Jinger and Jeremy announced they are moving to Los Angeles so he can pursue his graduate studies. Jinger has not lived in her native Arkansas near the Duggar clan since the two wed in 2016. After their wedding, they moved to Laredo, TX.
Jinger’s move to LA will put her the farthest away from her family she’s ever been. However, she has always said she wants to live in a big city, especially New York, but her mom previously denied it.
