AN ANGEL FOR JACKSON
by Lewis E. Thomas AN ANGEL FOR JACKSON Jackson Alexander Carson and his father Nicholas had a life long father and son bond!
They were "inseparable" and always together having fun!
There hearts were knit close together as one!
They were "much more" than just father and son!
They were soul mates and comrades enjoying life together!
They both thought their relationship would last "forever"!
Then one day when little Jackson was only four years old!
Something terrible happened that put a terrible wound on little Jackson's soul!
His father Nicholas died from injuries resulting from a fatal car accident!
The emotional pain that gripped little Jackson was beyond intense!
A friend of mine who attended the funeral for little Jackson's Dad...
Told me something that gripped my heart and made me very sad!
At the funeral little Jackson cried for someone to get his Daddy out of the box (casket)!
And as the congregation heard little Jackson's plea they all wept a lot!
Oh Lord up in Heaven above, be "moved" by little Jackson's love!
And send down a "Special Angel" from Heaven up above!
Send down an Angel for Jackson, to be his unseen friend...
Who will stay close by little Jackson until his little broken heart mends!
And God replied;
"I have the perfect unseen angel for that job who just got his wings!
His name is Nicholas, "Nick" and he will be flying right down to keep an eye on things!
He would have been down sooner but he refused to fly...
Until he told me about some School called Wakulla High!"

His legacy will live on in Jackson. Nick touched many lives and leaves behind many friends and battle buddies that will always feel his presence.
