Yesterday I met up with a great friend for breakfast. We try to get together once or twice a month. We went to Panera Bread, and while we were chatting and catching up an elderly woman came up to me and was so in love with my little guy {but who isn't right?}. Jackson was so good while we sat and talked. This woman approached me and said that everytime she meets a child she gives them a silver dollar. then she started talking about how blessed I was to have his little spirit with me as my son. She continued to tell me how I needed to take him to God every day and pray with him, and always remember what a sweet blessing he is. Then she started quoting a scripture from the bible {I can't remember what the scripture was}. All I could do was agree and nod my head. The next thing I knew I was balling. I couldn't help myself.
Jackson is such a sweet, sweet little boy. I feel so blessed to have such an amazing little boy!

What a cute story! Thanks for sharing. And Jackson is really such a sweet baby boy! I hope to see you guys while you are down here.
How sweet! What a nice lady (and a nice boy too!)
That is so special and beautiful! What a great story.
I love old ladies. I am determined to be a cool old lady.
When Cameron and I were engaged he was laying tile while he went through college. He was tiling an old ladies house and they started discussing how we were getting married and how we wanted a lot of kids. The sweet old lady then went and knitted a girl pair of booties with matching beanie and a boy pair of booties with matching beanie and gave them to Cameron when he came to finish the job. I still have them and love them!!
Its funny how easy it is to cry about you kids. You are a sweet mommy, Jackson is a lucky guy.
