Dear Jakey, Something occurred to me today and I am not sure how I feel about it. For some reason, in the shower this morning I was thinking about when Ethan and I were visiting Sarena in CA and he got so sick with such a high fever in the middle of the night. I...

Dear Jakey, I realized it has been a few days since I've written. Not really sure why. Boston was rough. A decent enough family visit but I just don't really enjoy being there. I am sure we will get used to it again ,but it left me, and I think all of us, a little out...

Dear Jakey, We are in Boston. We are at the Intercontinental in Boston. This is the last hotel you stayed in on November 22, 2010. We came the night after we spent so very long at MGH and Dr. Grottkau put your spica on himself. You were so brave and so incredible and...

Dear Jakey, I really should be out for my run right now but I am having some difficulty motivating. Not a long one today but I just am not in the mood. Ethan started waveriders last night and I think he liked it. We talked about it on the way to school this morning....

Dear Jakey, Short letter tonight because Momma is tired. But a couple weird things happened to me today. And they both had to do with you. I was in the kitchen and out of the corner of my eye I caught that picture of you walking in the lite gait. It has hung on the...

Dear Jakey, Sometimes it is hard to keep the faith. On the couch last night, I was looking at the Travers picture from 2009 and for some reason that triggered this big 24 hour test of my faith. You never know when it is going to hit, or rather I never know when it is...

Hey Jakey, How are you little buddy? A few days ago was St. Patty's day. I thought of you so very much all day. All I could think of was last St. Patrick's Day. Not really for any special reason but because I remember that it was a beautiful day. And for some reason I...

Dear Jakey, Another day that I missed you. A few weeks ago I think I wrote that it didn't seem quite as sharp, like I didn't feel as though my breath was taken away as much. Today was weird. My breath got taken away a couple of times today. I didn't like it. It just...

Dear Jakey, In about three weeks or so I am running a half marathon. It seems sort of random and at times I am quite intimidated by the whole idea. But, I have to say that over the last two weeks while I have been going on longer runs, I have found some solace in it....

Dear Jakey, I feel bad that my letters have been sort of downers lately. I don't want to make you sad and I wish I could be sharing some amazing, uplifting moments. But I can't. I hope in some weird way it makes you feel good knowing how much you are missed. You can't...
