There are moments in life that we wish we could freeze in time, and for the Mears family, Philippe Park in Safety Harbor, Florida, was a chance to do just that.

Fast forward to today, and while Deborah and Erick look literally the same, he has transformed into a tall and confident middle schooler, embarking on an exciting new chapter of his life.
