As photographer Jordan Burch entered the delivery room, prepared to capture the touching encounter between a 22-month-old boy and his newborn sister, she had no idea of the intense emotional turmoil that would grip young Jackson. The sight of his brand-new sibling left him visibly distraught and deeply affected, evoking a powerful and unexpected response.
At first, Jackson appeared to like his little sister and even said her name. She was okay until she found a spot on your momma's lap, beside you, Jordan wrote in a letter addressed to Jackson himself. And then, well, that wasn't very good at all. From there, the "ultimate momma's boy" began crying, then screaming, and then crying some more.b-a-b-y
I watched as your tears broke your momma's heart, she wrote. The good news is your love will grow for that sister of yours, maybe not today or tomorrow or anytime soon, but one day.
You'll love your momma so much more because she gave you a sister who is going to love you like crazy, too. I'm pretty sure that makes you one of the luckiest kids in the world, even if it doesn't feel like it yet.b-a-b-y
