My great grandniece, Reece Balcerzak was born on December 14, 2017. She was a preemie born at 30 weeks, but this miracle girl was a fighter. She persevered through those early days, and 60 days later, Reece was ready to go home. While she was a fighter, it was only in things that are important. Other than that, she is an easy-going fun girl, that everyone wants to be around. While Reece is very popular, she is also the kind of person who feels a deep sense of kindness, fairness, and inclusion. She doesn’t want anyone to be left out of the fun. No wonder everyone wants to be her friend.
Reece has a smiley face that lights up a room, and her personality make everyone want to be her friend. Reece is also a very smart girl. Reece is in second grade now and doing very well. She loves school and learning. She is a curious girl and enjoys each new year very much. Reece doesn’t remember her traumatic beginning, of course, but if she did, she still wouldn’t let it slow her down. I’m sure she has heard about her early start, but that just isn’t the same as what her parents, Keifer and Katie Balcerzak, went through. Her birth is something they will never forget. It was the kind of thing no young parent wants to go through. Still, when the trauma was over and their girl was going home, they felt like the most blessed parents in the world.
For a while, Reece was an only child, but then, just went it seemed like she would always be an only child, 
Reece got a little brother named Asa. She was so happy to have a sibling, and she is such a great big sister. She is a great role model for Asa, and he wants to just like her is so many ways. Reece is the kind of kid that makes her brother look up to her. The latest news is that Reece made her theatre debut in November when she was cast as an orphan girl in the musical Annie!! She auditioned in August after her mom happened to spot the signup sheet, leaving her with less than 24 hours to pick and prepare a song to perform in front of a group of strangers. I’m not sure who was more nervous, Reece or her mom. Nevertheless, Reece got the part and had a great time with her acting debut. She did great which doesn’t surprise me at all. Today is Reece’s 8th birthday. Happy birthday Reece!! Have a great day!! We love you!!
