Jeff Jackson became a father for the first time at age 51. He and his wife went through a long process and eventually used invitro-fertilization to attempt to have a child. Soon after going through this process that were told that it worked and that instead of one child they would be having two children.
In our conversation with Jeff Jackson he talked to us in-depth about the journey that they went on and some of the things that they had to think about and consider when going through this process.
When their sons were born Jeff Jackson mentioned that it has been a journey of discovery. He has found that disciplining his sons is the hardest job that he has to do. However, he also mentioned that he has had to work had to remain patient with his boys, especially one of his sons that has a learning disability.
He found that showing love in all circumstances even when you have to discipline is the key to his success as a parent.
One of the quotes that he shared that was poignant that we wanted to share with all of you was one from Mark Twain:
“My father was an amazing man. The older I got, the smarter he got”
