An amazing story - and a beautiful relationship!
I'm so glad there are people in this world that can love no matter what.
I admire your character, and Jackie's courage.
My heart goes out to both of you

This definitely just made me cry! He's a strong and ADORABLE glider, and I wish you both many more years of love, kinship, and happiness! <3

i never heard the storie untill to day what a great learning tool...jackie is such an amazing little man yes he deserves to be photo of the week...god bless you both

This is just more proof that God has a plan and design for everyone, even sugar gliders! Even when bad things are sent are way doesn't mean he doesn't love us it just means that he want to set us apart so we can have a testimony and be an example!

Hearing Jackie's story and seeing the picture I don't think handi-capped is the right word, more like handi-capable!

I just love hearing about this very inspiring little guy. Thank you so much for the update!

thats so kool great job

I definitely just cried a little bit. That is so amazing, it really is. Both you and Jackie are so strong and I am so happy to get to see pictures of that sweetheart.

This is a very heartwarming story, made me tear up people like you are what this world needs!

I love Jackie's story and plan on sharing it with my 16 yr old son when he gets home from school today. He has many disabilities and his muscles are deteriorating so he can no longer do a lot of stuff he used to enjoy and he often feels sorry for himself about it but I believe showing him Jackie's story will show him how much you can accomplish even with a disability. It would be wonderful if this story could be shared with every disabled child and adult!!!

I just read this story again. And again I am crying my eyes out. This is one of the sweetest stories ever!

AWWWW. Thank you Jill Marie. I took more pictures the other day in the tent. I'll post them sometime after I get back home (delivering gliders to their new home this weekend). He still amazes me too.

I teach special education to an age group that is aware of what society thinks about them. I spend all year telling them that life is never about their disability but about their ability. Imma use Jackie Chan as my opening for the next year. Kids are gonna love it!!!!! Thanks for the inspiration!

What a great story it shows us all what we can overcome when someone loves and believes in us. Thank you for sharing.

What an amazing little man Jackie is. I too hope I get to meet him someday. And his incredible mama.

All you gotta do to meet Jackie is come on down to Texas! He loves visits - especially from women. LOL

Val, where are those pics you promised? How is Jackie doing? I hope all is well and will continue to be good for any time to come!! He is such an amazing little guy! He is an inspiration to all of us. I too have a disability but it doesn't get me down. Well most days!(I'm dealing with some issues from the amputation surgery, but otherwise am ok)

Whoopsie. I forgot those photos.

Jackie is doing amazing despite the fact that his anxiety has increased. He doesn't really like visiting with other people any more.

But, he and his mate, Daiquiri, are happy, healthy and active and daily loved on by his mommy.

Awwwww, he's just so adorable! Hugs and kisses, little man!

Precious!

He is so cute!

awe he truly is an amazing story. What a tough little guy.

I am in awe! What a miraculous little boy!

Thank you for posting this update. Your story is inspiring. You and Jackie are unforgettable. Thank you for all that you do and have done!

Wow, this truly was inspiring to me. Please give my aloha to lil Jackie Chan. Give him a warm belly rub and tell him he's inspired me to love my babies even more!
