Dear Jakey,
Daddy is upstairs showering. I am sitting here, not sure what to do. It is time to get ready for your viewing. How do I do that? I am listening to Ethan and Sarena make videos for you on Daddy’s phone. Blowing you kisses and telling them how much they love you. It is unreal to me that you are gone. I know you are going to have quite the turnout and I am honored and proud of how important you were to so many. You taught people so much. But really, at the end of the day, if I am honest about it – I am so sick of it all. I don’t want to hear about how strong you were, or how you impacted so many people – I just want you back. I just want my Jakey back. I want my baby back. Now.
Love,
Mommy
I know there is not a thing I can do for you other than tell you that I love you, Buns, so very much! xo
Dear Mrs straughter. My name is hassan khan.I am so heart broken by hearing news about your son Jakey. I hope god gives you peace and strength to pass this difficult time in your life. Mrs straughter i Understand what you are going through because my self i lost two kids in past few years and my mother this past june. My wife till this day is not the same. I am praying for you and brian that may god gives you peace and strengh. I know your son will always be with you and he will always be in your mind. My condolence to you and your family i am so sorry mrs straughter.
Heather,
I love you and know that I am holding your hand today even though I will not be there in person. I will be there with you when I am home next week as I know you will still be missing Jake then…more so perhaps.
Love
Tuck
There are no words to say.. I am a mother of a little boy just like yours.. My heart achs for you and your family. I know Jake will always be with you. I hope somehow, someway you and your family will find comfort and peace.
Only our Lord can help in this hour and you my dearest sister have that connection with Him that will carry you and the family through.
While driving up to Saratoga I thought back on the times I would hold young Jakey and sing to him and there were times I actually believed he liked my singing, though no one else did! As Brian so eloquently said today Jake would talk to you in a way that was special for each person because he was such a special person.
God blessed you to bring this special person into existence who touched so many lives. And in this most difficult hour God will bless you and your family with the way to handle this most difficult pain.
As much as I love you I wish I could take away the pain, but I am too weak, only God has that kind of strength. Therefore my prayers are for your burden to be lightened and your pain lessened.
I will always love each of you as I carry you in my heart and soul but there is a special place reserved for Jake in me that only he and he alone can can reside in for as long as I will live!
Auntie Loves You Jakey
Heather:
Although we have never met, my heart aches for you. My son is 13 and has been having seizures since he was 6 and half years old. His and our life changed forever after that first seizure. I too yell and get frustrated with all that is involved, but like you would never trade my little man for anything. I agree that to keep hearing that time will heal is not what you want to hear right now or at least not over and over. So I will just say how deeply sorry I am that your buddy has passed. It sucks and seems so unfair. Know that many of us carry you and your family in our hearts. May you always be blessed with his beautiful memory.
Sincerely,
Barbara Jensky-Coluccio
Love you Hil!
