Today I had an amazing opportunity to be a part of a special moment on the block. Mr. Winton, who lives across the street, asked if I could give him a ride to Sarasota Memorial Hospital to pick up his wife and newborn son. Wow – talk about an honor! We got there and had a chance to visit with Nicole and little Jasper before they were discharged.
Then some of their relatives arrived, so Nicole decided that she and the baby would head home with them. That gave us a few minutes to get back to Central-Cocoanut and tell Jasper’s sister Jasmine, brother Jaden, and fellow neighbors that the magical moment would soon be upon us!
When mom and baby arrived, neighborkids started jumping up and down with excitement, and then ran over to greet our newest little neighbor. Here is a pic of a sacred moment on the block…Jasmine seeing her baby brother Jasper for the first time:
Neighborhood history in the making.
