When baby Kingston entered the world, the idea for a middle name came in the form of a handwritten letter they received from a stranger at the hospital. The letter created a special bond between the two families, who remain friends to this day.
When baby Kingston entered the world in Lafayette, Louisiana, his parents, Connie Despanie and Benjamin Hall, didn't have a middle name to give him. Minutes after he was born, the idea for a middle name came in the form of a handwritten letter they received from a stranger at the hospital.
As part of a weeklong"CBS Mornings" series launching Monday, Begnaud went back to Lafayette to catch up with the two families, including Kingston, who is now 4 years old and just started pre-K. Throughout this week, Begnaud will be checking in with people he's introduced us to over the past few years, with the goal of answering one simple question:"How are you now?"
Fontenot was inspired to write the letter after hearing music playing on the hospital's PA system. It's a lullaby that plays throughout the hospital when a newborn has just arrived. "I came in and then the dad says, 'Oh, we found our middle name!' And I'm like, 'All right, what is it?' And he says, 'Well, it's James, of course!'" Cydney Begnaud said. The nurse is David Begnaud's mother and the one who tipped CBS News off to the story.
