Their son, Jason, recently graduated from primary school, and while the moment brought smiles, it also tugged at many hearts, especially Jennifer\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Taking to Instagram, Jennifer shared a touching video montage from the graduation ceremony. In one clip, young Jason can be seen dancing joyfully on stage with a classmate. The energy was pure and innocent, yet it carried the silent weight of someone dearly missed.
