I'm Jessica Mae Claybourne. Last name sounds familiar don't it? Yep y'all guessed right my daddy is the one and only Deacon Claybourne, famous for his guitar playing and songwriting.I can sense the next question so ill answer it for you all, my momma is indeed the great Rayna Jaymes, famous for her great songs and amazing hair. I'm a pretty lucky kid, I know that. I have two loving parents who would move the world for me.

My parents aren't together. They haven't been since I was two, ya see my daddy lost his best friend and fell into alcohol and drug abuse. I can't blame him, four times in rehab and my momma had enough. She packed up our things and left him. She still loves him I can tell and he most defiantly loves her. They have a great friendship and I always admired that bout them. They are great parents to my sister and me.

Yep you read write Rayna Jaymes and Deacon Claybourne have not just one daughter but two. My little sister Maddie Elizabeth Claybourne is a year younger than me. She's very reserved and quiet compared to me but we get on great. Our differences are what makes us close. Our parents have done a great job raising us both.

When we were younger we would spend half the time with momma and then half with daddy. I loved it. We would live in our big mansion in belle Meade with momma and then the next day go to daddy's house that wasn't nearly as big but had just as much love. We had a taste of both and it made us both very we've got older and more independent we still go see Daddy when we are meant to but there isn't any restrictions and I love that about my parents, they do what's best for us.

Oh have I mentioned that for the better part of ten years my moms been married to a jackass? Teddy Conrad. I hate him. I've heard him say nasty things about my daddy and that does not settle well with me. My momma was in search of stability when she met him, my daddy had just finished rehab and she wasn't sure if he would remain sober. Aunt Tandy thought it was a great idea for my mom to go out and date again and she met Teddy. I sort of hold that against Aunt Tandy. I have never got on with Teddy, I'm a daddy's girl and very loyal towards my daddy. I seen how broke he was when they got married. I just cant bring myself to like him. My daddy tells me I need to make more of an effort with him and I do try, I grit my teeth while speaking to him. I've heard him arguing with my momma and during the argument I've heard him spit my daddy's name in venom to my mom, that makes me like him even less. Maddie's nicer to him but I just can't bring myself to be.

I'd say the only good thing Teddy has given in the last ten years is my little sister Daphne Louise Conrad. She makes him bearable, I love her. She makes everything worth it. Thank god she takes after my momma she has such a bubbly personality. She's five years younger than me. So I have to be careful what I say round her because Teddy is her daddy after all. My momma says she loves Teddy but I know she doesn't love him nearly as much as she loves my daddy.

I look alot like my momma and certainly have her personality. I'm never afraid to say what I think or feel, If I have a problem with someone ill let them know. I have my daddy's stubbornness and his heart but I mostly take after my momma. I'm incredibly proud of both of my parents and always will be.

I can hear Madide put on one of juliette Barnes tracks, I hate her songs. I've heard her trash my mom in the press and I was not a fan. She claimed my mom was 'past her prime' well I got news for you miss Juliette Barnes.. My momma has more talent in her leg pinky than you do, her songs mean something and actually make sense. She is not 'past her prime' shes worked hard her whole life to shut up critics like you.

I hear my daddy pull up, he's taking mom,maddie and me to Uncle Wattys night at the Opry. My parents are playing tonight in honour of him.
