He continued, “And I think we both look back on that time with great fondness and recognize that in many, many ways it shaped what was to come. But I would also say that it’s just a footnote of the man he became.”
Jackson then poured his heart out: “The way his faith allowed him to find grace in the face of this impossible thing, and even before his diagnosis, the dedication he had to being a good husband and a phenomenal father, a very curious, loving, kind, present father, those are the things I think he actually accomplished in his life.”
