California Dreamin’

So Jakey, I didn't keep my daily 5 promise. Not sure what happened and I won't make excuses but I am sorry. Miss Trish wrote you the most beautiful letter on Valentine's Day and I wanted to write it to you but didn't. And now I have to wait until we get back home. And...

life and death

Dear Jakey, I am sitting in a hotel in Providence tonight. Daddy is in the bathroom and Ethan is watching a show about fishing. We spent a few hours at Aunt Shirley's and Uncle John's and visited with your family. We are staying the night in a hotel near the Hilton...

Big Blue

Dear Jakey, The Giants won! Woo hoo. Even Daddy acknowledged that you were a Giants fan with me. Somehow you gave him Red Sox love , but I know you always had Giants love. You used to rock a Tiki Barber jersey, actually your brother did too, but something about you in...

cinco

Dear Jakey, In my  mind I almost thought I would get away without my five today because I could copy a beautiful letter Cait wrote to you and left at your grave. But the way it worked out I don't have the letter with me so I am giving you my own original five - Cait's...
