Savannah Chrisleyis opening up about taking on the role of raising her niece and brother amidst her parents' prison sentences.
“There’s little moments to where for instance, like in the car driving to see dad this weekend, Chloe and Grayson are sitting in the backseat, and they’re telling me different songs to play and they’re sitting next to each other and they’re just like laughing and singing and cutting up and in that moment for a split second, I was like, ‘Okay, we’re gonna be okay,’ " Chrisley, 25, said.
“Seeing two kids in the midst of their whole world falling apart, headed to see their dad in federal prison. Like, they’re sitting here laughing and cutting up and playing with each other and that gave me a little bit of hope that I’m doing okay,” she continued.
