The lord often doesn’t give you no more than you can handle; is a phrase that is thrown around in today’s society. If that is the case the lord must really think Jackson could handle anything and everything. The trials and troubles of his life is well documented.
Almost a year ago.

“Kandra, Thanks for allowing me to sleep on your sofa this past week.” I said as I folded the blankets up and laid them on the corner of the sofa.
“Jackson, your family and you know that Dylan would haunt me if I was to deny you a place to lay your head.” She pauses for a moment. “Have you given it anymore thought?” She asked as she sat a plate of breakfast on the kitchen island and poured me a cup of coffee.
I made my way to where she sat my breakfast and coffee at the end of the island. I sat down and took a drink of the fresh brewed coffee. I sat the coffee down and looked over at Kandra. “Anymore thought on what?” I asked.
“Jackson, you know about doing some promotional work for Dylan’s charity foundation.” Kandra pauses for a moment. “You know it will give you a chance to get away from the situation you and Xaria and in plus you will be going down to South and Central America.”
“I don’t know I just bought those two properties up in New York, plus I have my kids to think about.” I said as I finished the cup of coffee.
“Jackson, I would look over the properties in New York, besides it will allow me to be closer to DJ as he is now playing football for Syracuse. As for Christian, Jacques and Penelope you can spend some time with them this weekend and before you know it you will be back. You know Dylan would want you to do this for him.” She said giving me her puppy dog face.
“Okay, I’ll do it. It will give me a chance to clear my head and think of what my next move will be.” I said <p>
Kandra and I continued to talk as the scene fades away.
Missing in Action: The Jackson Ford Story
Somewhere in Southern Mexico
December 15, 2015
The Mason family was all gathered together to celebrate Lilys birthday. There was lily, Shawn, Drake Sean, Kayleigh, Sean’s mother Amber and stepfather Tyler as well as Kandra and DJ. Lily had just finished opening all her gifts when the doorbell rang.
“I’ll get it.” Amber yelled out.
Amber made her way to the front door she opened it up but no one was there she looked around and up and down before noticing a little rectangle box wrapped in a paper style wrapping paper. Thinking it was another gift for Lily she takes it in.
“Lily Dear looks like you got another present.” Amber said as she walked over toward her.
“Who from Gramma?” Lily Replied.
Amber looks at it and reads it...
“It’s from your Uncle Jackson.” Amber smiled
“He got me another gift…” Lily shouted out with excitement as she wonders what else her uncle Jackson give her to go with the ford mustang.
Everyone looked at each other, Kandra knowing that Jackson didn’t get two gifts for Lily, quickly grabs the package out of Amber hands. She looks down and reads the full package.
“Sorry momma, but it is address to Sean and myself.” Kandra said as she unwrapped it and saw that it was a video tape. Sean we should go and see if this has anything to do with Dylan’s charity.
“Kandra, you can go into my office and play it if you want but for right now I am going to enjoy this time with my daughter.” Sean said politely as he walked around the table to give Lily a hug.
“Whatever Sean, you are still holding that grudge!” Kandra mumbled under her breath as she turn and made her way to Sean’s office.
A few moments’ passes before a loud scream of horror echoes the through the house. Sean, Amber and Tyler runs to Kandra who was laying on the office floor balling in tears, no one noticed the television at first.
“Kandra, what is wrong?” Sean asked
Tyler and Sean was bent over helping her up to her feet while Amber was looking on. Amber shifted her eyes before she notices what was on TV.
“No...” She screams as she walks over to the television.
Sean and Tyler looked over and finally notices what has both shocked Kandra and Amber.
“Dad, would you go in the other room and help Kayleigh keep the kids in there I need to see what this tape is all about. You can also take mom with you as well.” Sean said as he helped his mother over.
“Sean I can do that but it is best that your mother stays with you because she needs to know that Jackson is okay.” Tyler said.
Reluctantly Sean agrees.
Tyler exits the room as Sean helps his mother to a seat and Kandra pulls herself up. Sean rewinds the tape and hits play.
-------
It starts off as static before a mysterious voice starts to speak in broken English.
“You people think you can shut down the drug shipment think again” the man said as he turned the camera toward Jackson who was tied up to a chair.
Jackson was covered in blood, and his eyes was swelled shut. “Speak now.” The voice said as he whipped Jackson with a leather lace across the front of his chest.
“Don’t give in to them they killed Dylan.” Jackson yelled out.
“Shut up you idiot! I told you what would happen if you didn’t do what I told you too.” The guy said as he pulled a knife out of his pocket and slit the face of Jackson from the ear down.
Jackson Screams in pain as another guy starts to beat him.
“If you ever want to see him alive again we want you to deliver to us 1.5 million dollars as well as stop this crusade to clean up the streets of drugs.” The voice pauses for a second before he started to speak. ”No cops or he is dead. You will deliver the money to Salina Cruz, Mexico” The voice said.
The tape goes to complete static
--------
“My baby…” Amber says as tears are running down his face.
“Kandra, did you hear that about Dylan?” Sean asked
Kandra just sat there sobbing uncontrollably because not only has she learned the truth behind Dylan’s death but Jackson was suffering because she pushed him to go down there. Several months ago. “Save your brother Sean.” She yelled out load.
“I will Kandra.” Sean said as he turned toward his mother “Mom, you need to call the family in so we can discuss the best possible way. That means Dad, and Andrew. I will get a hold of everyone else. “Sean said as he sat down at his desk pulling a picture of him Dylan and Jackson training together.

I was sitting on the bench watching Drake and some other kid spar in the ring. It’s like a flash back of watching Sean in the ring, however Drake has the desire to be great. I feel for him I know what it is like living in the shadow of Sean. I just hope Sean will be looking down and smiling on the path his son has chosen.
I happen to glance over as Kandra and Emily walked into the gym I stood up and started to walk in the opposite direction of Kandra.
“Jackson Christian Ford your ass better stop there.” She said as she walked quickly toward me grabbing my left shoulder.
“Damn girl! Why must you do that?” I said as I turned toward her.
“I have a beef to pick with you. I was sitting home and I heard that you was making a return to wrestling.” She said
“Yeah So.” I replied
“Are you sure it’s safe? I mean it has only been 5 months since your surgery.” She said as she pulled out a picture of what I looked like after getting rescued.
“Look Kandra, my therapist and I have been talking. She and I have agreed that my life needs to get back to normal. Starting with me seeing if I still have it in the ring.” I paused for a moment. Looking at her “Part of me getting my life back to normal that means getting Christian Jacques, and Penelope.” I smiled.
“What? How do you plan on doing that?” She asked.
“It is already done, Xaria and I have agreed on joint custody. It wasn’t easy I had to get my lawyers involved but in the end she and I decided not to drag the kids through the court system but to compromise so we are going to start out slow I few days a week I will get the kids and if all goes well they will eventually come for overnight stays. However I volunteered you to meet up with her brother for the exchange of the children. Keeping it through a third party.” I said,
Tears ran down Kandra’s cheek. It has been a while since she seen her god sons, and Penelope.
“Jackson, thank you for including me in this.” She hugged me
“Kandra, you are their god mother and my sister of course you will always be involved in their lives. But you need to back off from me and allow me to live my life. This past year if I have learned anything you only got one shot at life so cannot blow it.” I said
She shook her head in agreement and spoke softly “But I will always worry about you little bro”
“I know but I also know that you and your soon to be daughter-in-law did not come down here to talk to me all day. You two are supposed to be planning the wedding.” While smiling I went on to talk “So why don’t you two get too it and allow me to step into the ring with these two fellows and get back into top shape.” I said as I climbed into the ring.
“Ok Jackson, be careful and love you bubby!” Kandra said as her and Emily made their way out of the gym.
With all the training I have done recently the only thing left to do was practice taking falls and giving developing #shehatesme more. The scene fades to black after showing me hitting #shehatesme on Drake.
