Letters to Jakey

snowman

Dear Jakey, This is another instance of you knowing more than me. A couple of days ago the cutest snowman ever appeared next to you. The words "We Love You" where next to it. It is so adorable and so great. We all love it. But, those of us here on Earth have no idea...

souls

Dear Jakey, This is a short letter. I miss you so very much. Sometimes it is weird because it seems bearable. And then after a few days of that it all comes back to me. Just a few minutes ago I was looking through pictures to print out in sepia for the new frame and I...

you

Dear Jakey, I am not sure what happened but a couple of days have passed without a letter. I know we have been talking and I have been doing a lot of reading and thinking about things. In a weird way I have started to feel so connected to you - in a way that is...

different

Dear Jakey, It is so cold here that Ethan didn't have school again. He brought you up a bunch - you must be on his mind a lot today. It is just the strangest thing without you and each day has something a little different to endure. Today my thing was another...

fun day

Good Morning Jakey, I told you yesterday that I wouldn't come by to see you until around 2 but I figured a short early morning note might keep you in the loop. First off, I figured it was first mentioning that I thank you for the better time I have had sleeping...

the littlest things

Dear Jakey, More snow today. Ethan had a two-hour delay. In a weird way it worked out well because I got up early anyways to work out. And then Auntie Yvette is visiting so Ethan roped her into some beyblade battles. I finally sat down at my desk to tackle the chaos...

old letter, new friend

Dear Jakey, Do you remember a letter I wrote you back in October? I took Ethan to Paulie's birthday party and I was having issues about how to tell people what was wrong. I wrote about Paulie's mom and how I liked her and thought we would be friends but I never knew...

aggravation

Dear Jakey, I usually try to keep it positive for you my little man but I need to tell you two things that sucked about today. I just wrote a check for $100 to Saratoga Emergency Corp. It was the copay for the ambulance that took you to Saratoga Hospital to die. I...
