Letters to Jakey
Daily 5
So here it is Jakey, 5 things in no particular order: Miss Trish and family were the first registrants for the fundraiser. And when they visited today the cardinal was there. Coincidence? I think not. Yoga today had an eclectic selection of music that had me all over...
5 things
Dear Jakey, Last week I made up my mind that I was going to get in the habit of writing you everyday with a list of 5 things. When I started to write my letters to you, a lot of time I wrote you lists and shared with you all kinds of things. I guess I thought that was...
Blue
Dear Jakey, It is funny how things work. Yesterday I was happy, last night I was sad. I found myself sadder than I have been in a long time - the kind of sad where I couldn't stop crying. I know I do it to myself sometimes but I think on those days where I feel you so...
Present
Dear Jakey, There is no denying that you are ever-present today. It's funny because I get myself all wound up sometimes with thoughts of you. Yesterday you were in my head all day. I can't blame it entirely on being at the hospital but I know it had something to do...
CHOP
Dear Jakey, My letters to you are always personal and while others read them they really have always been between me and you. Today, my little buddy, I am writing to you to tell you something that has been haunting me since I read about it on Friday. I can't quite get...
more moments
Dear Jakey, Once again I have let time slip between my notes to you. And once again it is the same old reasons. I have plenty to say, probably more than I can fit and organize in to one letter, but I get to a point where these letters are hard, they just remind me of...
Adjustments
Dear Jakey, We got home late last night, stayed at the Homewood and got up early this morning with a harsh reality check! Cold, snowy weather and back to the daily rush. Our first stop before even getting home though was to see you. And it got me thinking so much...
2012
Dear Jakey, The new year is hours away. I think about this night a year ago when we were still in the beginning stages of our grief. Uncle Steve spent New Year's Eve with us and we cooked and stayed home. We were recovering from too many margaritas the night before...
Year End
Dear Jakey, We are in Aruba now as I know you know. It has been a really nice vacation so far and you, as usual, are at the forefront of all of our minds. Ethan now has so many toys, stuffed animals, etc that are named Jake or some variation. Yesterday, he got one of...
Christmas II
Dear Jakey, Yesterday was your 2nd Chrsitmas in Heaven. And while going through all the firsts was definitely rough there is something about the start of all the "2nds" that is also not easy. It just makes it all a little more permanent and with that permanency comes...
