Jackson and Jason

Jackson and Jason-- both smiling after their last time hanging out.

Jackson came over to play yesterday for one final time before his family moves to Seattle. These boys have been buddies for a few years now and Jason is really going to miss him. When I first met Jackson, I knew immediately that he and Jason would get along just like Brian and I do with his parents, and Caitlin does with his brother and sister. Over the years they have played on the same basketball team, gone to summer camps together, had sleepovers, birthday parties, family get together, played lots of video games and many other good times.

Jason is really sad about losing his good friend and we hope to see them again soon. Until then, the boys will have to use email, words with friends and  skype to keep in touch.  Jackson: thanks for being such a good friend to Jason, we know you'll make new friends quickly in Seattle and we'll miss you!
