"My dad didn't believe in allowing past hardships affect your present circumstances in a detrimental way. None of the things he experienced was ever apparent in the way he parented. He was all about turning things around. That’s why he liked underdogs and identified with them."

Cindy apparently isn't the only parent who enjoyed doting over Jennifer. Jennifer shares that her mother used to encourage them to always eat healthy. However, her father would always spoil them with sweet treats. She reveals on of her best memories of her father saying:

"I loved strawberry-flavored milk, but we were really not allowed to drink it at home. To my delight, my dad had covered the entire backyard in (Nestlé) strawberry Quik. He brought out spoons and let me run around eating as much strawberry snow as I could."
