Letters To Our Jackson
From Mom with Love
To my Miracle Boy,
I am so blessed to be your Mom. You have taught me so many things about life and myself in your short 12 years on Earth. Jackson you’ve shown me how to have strength without limits, to have faith without wavier, courage in the most fearful of times, and joy in a sea of darkness. Thank you for being your amazing superhero self. My Flameboy!! In a world of copies you are an original. My beautiful dancing machine. You always used to say I never miss a beat, I’m lightning on my feet.
I have never been so proud in my entire life than when I became your and CJ’s mom. Your brother was truly your best friend and partner in crime. We miss you dearly with every passing second of the day. Our hearts long for your infectious laugh and “light up the world” smile. We will do you proud “My Pumpkin”, and continue your vision of collecting toys and spreading joy to your friends and children stuck in hospitals. You always wanted to bless everyone you met especially little warriors fighting big battles. You truly broke all the molds when you came into this world. Thank you for sharing your heart with us and allowing me to be a co-pilot in your story. We love you 3,000!!!
Love you always forever and never not,
Your Mommy

From Gram with Love
Jackson,
You are my buddy, and my greatest gift!!! Though the time we had was short, I will always treasure every moment. . You brought so much joy and laughter to my world. Without you there is a great hole in my heart. I thank God for Jesus because in His time we will be together and the hole in my heart will be restored and we will have joy for all eternity with Jesus.
Love,
Gram
My Hero with Love
They say it will get easier, but they have no idea.
How does it when you lose someone so precious and so dear.
The pain of losing you, sweet boy, will never go away;
Until we are together on that bright and glorious day.
I know the day you left this Earth your pain came to an end,
The joy and peace you felt inside was beyond a level ten.
I wonder what it felt like when the pain left your body,
And how you were greeted by your loving Uncle Bobby.
I can’t imagine how it felt to run, jump, and dance.
It’s been such a long time since you even had a chance.
I wonder what it felt like to be hugged by God your Father,
When your father here on Earth wouldn’t take the time to bother.
A child should never have such a painfully hard life.
How beautifully you faced it with such faith and grace, not strife.
You loved, and gave, and hoped so much through every single pain,
And never did you ask yourself, what am I to gain?
You always fought with all you had, a true warrior you are,
For that you are my hero and the strongest one by far.
The day will come, oh yes, it will, when God shall call for me.
Together we will sing and dance totally pain free.
For now you will always be deep inside my heart,
And I will always love you so with each and every part.
I thank God for the amazing honor to be loved by you.
The sound of your sweet voice is the most captivating tune.
Your laugh, and love, and smile brought me joy and strength each day,
This melodious song I will hold in my heart and play it everyday.
Until we meet again my beautiful nephew Jackson.
Love,
