Sometimes, the very best bonds begin with a simple hello. Friendships come in all shapes and sizes, and age proves to be just a number. Despite any barriers or obstacles, the strongest of friends prevail above all.

The toddler courageously reached out and gave him a hug. It was then that the bond between the two had been ignited. “The love I have felt from Jesse Sloan and Donald Gray’s friendship is amazing,” Jesse’s mother wrote on Facebook. “She talked about him daily, would not leave a game until she saw him”. Jesse was quick to claim Donald as her favorite person, and nothing would keep her away from him. He referred to her as his “best girl”, forming a one-of-a-kind relationship that is truly unique.
With all beginnings, unfortunately, come endings, and what followed this unbreakable bond was an emotional goodbye that would leave not a dry eye in sight.


The Mississipi State senior said that his interactions with Jesse “changed his life”. Such a formidable bond can really have a lasting impact on one’s life, and memories that will surely be carried on. The two made a pinky promise that they would remain best friends. Jesse’s family said that no matter what was in store for his future, they would undoubtedly support him. “He has forever changed my family and my heart,” her mother said, proving that the impact stretched further beyond little Jesse. “May the tears fall, as this last chapter closes”.
