Well it's been over 3 months since you left us. And I'll tell you it's been the HARDEST 3 & a half months of my life. A little butterfly out of the blue was on my hand yesterday.. I knew it was you because it's never happened to me before. It melts my heart to know you were thinking of me my sweet baby boy! Your mommy gave me a necklace in remembrance of you.. You'll always be with me now <3 I loved you more than you'll ever know & always will. You knew how to keep us laughing and there won't be another like you! I can still hear your little voice yelling "HEY AUNT MANDA" whispering guess what in my ear & then sneaking a big fat kiss on my cheek. That was always our thing. You will always be my "stoog McMuffin" as we called each other. So many memories together in such a short time. You definitely took a piece of my heart with you when you left us. I love you so much Jacks. Whenever I break down I feel you pick me back up. It hasn't been easy & it'll be a hard road ahead but thinking of the good times we shared makes me feel a little better. So many things remind me of you! I know you're having a great time in heaven. Again, I love you sweet baby boy, always & forever!! <3 Aunt Manda!

My daughter also attended VPK at Pace Christian and I was so sad to hear of one of her school mates passing away. My mommy's heart is broken for you and I am covering your family with prayers. What a nice tribute you have for him on youtube. He looks like a very precious little boy who embraced life. I hope you know and can somehow find peace in knowing that he is having that much fun and more in his forever home with Jesus.

I work at one of the florists that had the sad task of filling orders for your beautiful son's service. As a mother who herself has had to burry a son, my heart broke for you all. There are no words that ease the pain. No time will heal the wound. All I can offer is the knowledge that your whole community is grieving with you in your loss. Perhaps our two beautiful little souls have met on heaven's playground...

To Jackson's parents: I hope you get this. You don't know me. I am writing as I lost my son 2 and 1/2 years ago and heard about you because I live in Pace. There is a youtube video called 'A Father's Heart'. It is Rick Burgess speaking at his young son's funeral. So much of what he said gave me and my husband comfort when we suffered the loss of our son. I wanted to let you know about it in case it would do the same for you.

A Mom Weeping with you,
LT

May 20, 2013

The only words that I believe will comfort you are that God is now holding your beautiful child and you will be with him again one day.

Jackson I held you in my arms on the day you were born. I watched you grow into the sweetest little boy I ever came across. You would hear my motorcycle and would come running for a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. Then you and I would play a round of, "Ready-Set-Go". I will miss you for ever Little Man. I love and miss you buddy. I can see you playing with the Angels.

For anyone who reads this & may not know Jackson let me just tell you.. He was the most kind hearted, upbeat, beautiful little 4 year old boy you could ever have the pleasure of meeting. He loved playing t ball, loved the summer time, and loved his family! I don't think a 4 year could ever make me laugh constantly the way he did. Always had something up his sleeve and loved to be the center of attention. He had it all; the brains, an amazing personality, & I mean look at him he was beautiful! He was the entire package deal. No one will ever be able to take his place in my heart & even though he's not here anymore.. That spot will forever be his! All we have are videos & pictures to remind us of how awesome he was but I know he's in a much better place giving Jesus a run for his money!

Jackson.. You were something else. You meant the WORLD to me! And although I was only your aunt I still felt like you were somewhat my little man too! Life will never be the same without you. But know you will forever live in my heart. I'll miss you saying guess what to me.. And secretly laying a big ole smootch on my cheek! I expect an even bigger one when I get to heaven and see the spot you have saved for me right next to you! Aunt Manda loves you baby<3 never ever forget that. RIP "Jacks"
