“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” -Leo Buscaglia
Meet my little friend Jackson, one of the few people who joined us on Team Chance this past weekend at the Walk-N-Roll for spina bifida to support our baby boy.
Jackson’s one lucky kid…he just happens to be the son of one of my awesome doctors. His mother has made a pretty big impact on my life…sure, partly because she was the one who had to let us know that Chance would likely be born with spina bifida…but also over the last two years as we’ve went through so much it seems that every time I’d look up she was there helping me find peace and reminding me that we’d be okay. Yes, I truly believe there are angels among us…and surely, she’s been one in my life the last two years. About two years ago I was still pretty devastated knowing Chance was going to be born with spina bifida…but now I’m reminded that because of him I’ve been surrounded by some pretty amazing people, like Jackson’s family.
The week before the Walk-N-Roll I met with thier family to capture a few memorable moments with them. Jackson’s got quite the personality and though his older brothers are a tad bit more serious…they were pretty darn amazing too. I’m pretty sure you all will enjoy a glimpse of some moments from the time we spent together…there were definitely plenty of memorable moments that still make me smile.
Jackson, thanks to you and your awesome family…I loved every minute of our time together. Be sure you thank your momma for me too…I can’t say thank you enough to have someone so darn caring there for me & my family.
