Dugard said that it's been a "joyful time for the family" and she thanked all the police and law enforcement officers that have helped on the case.

She said that they've all been sharing memories and stories and that Jaycee remembers all of the family. In fact, when she saw Dugard she yelled "Auntie Tina!" and "wrapped her arms around and hugged her as tight as she could."

Dugard also said that Jaycee is enjoying getting to know her little sister, who was just a baby when she was abducted, and couldn't stop touching her and kissing her face.

The whole family is "laughing and crying together" and although Jaycee's daughters were not formally educated Jaycee did an amazing job of raising them.

Does Jaycee have a biological father? Only her step-father, Carl Probyn, is mentioned...

Amazing and wonderful. I so worry that Jaycee and her girls will never recover from the horrors they endured under that monster and his monster wife. This article shows that there is true hope for them!
