Jackson had corrective surgery in 2021 to correct bowing in his legs, but kept up with all of his teammates.
Tori explained that the other boys never bullied or made fun of her son. Instead, she said, they were “just curious. It stuck with him enough to tell me on the side line though. I told him ‘that’s how God made you, now show them how fast you are!'”
She continued, “I WANT him to know he’s different. But maybe not in the way he thinks he is.
“Jackson I pray that you notice that you are different. That God has set you apart from all other people. I pray you’re different in how you see and love others. I pray that you’re different in the choices you make to keep God close to your heart,” she continued. “I pray you’re different in how you solve problems and arguments. I pray that you think differently about how the world works and adaptations that can be made.”
She added, “I pray you see your differences and use them to change the world. You are different, kid. Different than any kid I’ve ever met. You are one of a kind and I am so stinking proud to be your mom.”
Joking about the inspiration she gave her young son, she said, “My pep talk got him his first soccer goal!”
Other than Jackson, the Roloff’s are also parents to son Josiah Luke, 9 months, and daughter Lilah Ray, 3.
