Kudos to his parents!!! #imnotcrying."   After the video went viral , Jackson's father, Ty, contact Leslie and Kevin to proudly identify his son.  The Hodges asked if they could give Jackson some more sweets so he would "know how much he touched everyone" but when his parents declined the offer, they insisted they instead reward him with a gift card to spend in his favourite shop.  Now, the Hodges have arranged to meet with Jackson's family to personally deliver their gift and thank the little boy for his selfless act.  Jackson's father, Ty, 27, told the Washington Post: "That's the type of kid Jackson is. He's always giving."  He said then when he asked his son why he had refilled the bowl, Jackson replied: "For the kids after me."  Ty added: "He is very sweet, kind and soft-spoken kid. I've never seen a moment where he acts ou
