Hatchett thanked her Instagram lovers for their complimentary comments and revealed that Langston was excited about his next school year. It was an emotional sight!
The bond Hatchett shares with Langston comes as no surprise as the judge has been a major part of her grandson's life following the demise of his mother a few hours after he was born.
After a C-section at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, Langston's mother, Kira Johnson, died on April 12, 2016. Speaking to People, Hatchett admitted her daughter-in-law was in pain before she died.
A lawsuit was filed against the hospital and several doctors. Johnson's husband alleged that there was a wrongful death and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
Since Johnson's death, Hatchett and her son have been there for Langston all the way through. She remains good at parenting with a book to her name called "Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say" that offers strategies to help kids stay on the right path.
