Boy’s birthday surprise gets worldwide response

What started out as a silly little page to make her son feel better grew to much, much more. In two days, the page got more than 4,000 likes. But Sunday night, a week after it was created, it had more than 8,600.

Among those sharing birthday greetings, pictures and words of inspiration were people from as far away as Scotland and Switzerland. Some shared the struggles they experienced while growing up. Others wrote how Colin’s story is helping them.

She said that when Colin sees the page, he will understand that he’s not alone.

“He’s going to have a lot of friends after this. They may not live by him, but he’s going to have a lot of friends,” Jennifer said.
