Dear Jakey, I skied today with Miss Bridget. It is pretty strange being able to ski as much as I have lately - between Wednesdays at West and Saturdays at Gore, I have skied more this year then I have in the previous 15 years. And now throwing in some random week days...

Dear Jakey, The Superbowl is about to start. I am pretty ambivalent this year. I am going for Green Bay but not for any strong passionate feeling. Just because. Anyways, it is not like you and I have any strong real connection to the Superbowl but I have found today...

Dear Jakey, So much to tell you my little man.  First off, I miss you so much. A few times today I got that feeling where my chest tightens up and I can't breathe. I haven't had that one as often lately and I don't like the way that feels. It is almost like total...

Dear Jakey, So it finally happened, I think. Last night was another horrible night of sleep. I am not sure what happened, I was doing okay but then it turned a few days back and sleep started to suck again. Everything has started to suck again. It is just so hard. But...

Dear Jakey, Another snowy day down here . I am going to be honest with you, I am worried about your brother. Not really worried, but sad for him. He is so very sad lately. And I am not even sure if that is the right word or not. It is more like he is preoccupied and...

Dear Jakey, I am always a little hesitant to write these kind of letters because I don't want to run the risk of making you sad or hurting your feelings. But today has just been odd. Daddy took Ethan to tae kwon do this evening because I had a few things to do. I had...

Dear Jakey, I have been thinking a lot about your people. You know who they are. I miss them. A lot. I miss Xavier coming to the house and you playing possum on him. I miss you playing ball with him and riding your fire truck. I miss going to MIPT and seeing Joan. And...

Dear Jakey, You will get a kick out of today. I actually did it - I finished day one of the tiling project and it came out pretty decent. It was both harder and easier than I expected. In a weird way it feels like it is one of the things that I was able to do since...

Dear Jakey, I almost didn't write because I was worried about what to say. Today has been another day where all though we plugged along and did our thing - I just am sad. A weird, different, deeper sad. But you know that and no one wants to hear it anymore. So as I...

Dear Jakey, I miss you. How many letters have I started like this lately? Probably a lot. It almost seems like I miss you more with each day that passes. And I don't think I am alone. Ethan is struggling too. It is like we are growing accustomed to you not being here...
