Dear Jakey, Not much new to say to report today. Actually nothing new at all. I miss you tremendously. I am deeply sad without you here. I have been printing out all of the kind emails, facebook messages and things that people have sent us over the last 32 days. I got...

Dear Jakey, First, thank you for watching over Daddy today. He did great. We all know you helped him be confident and do awesome. Second, thank you for being so present yesterday and last night. I always feel better when I feel you near me. Today is the official one...

Dear Jakey, I have so much to say to you. It has been a crazy couple days and I never got any time to write you my letter yesterday. I need to figure out how to write on the fly because I never seem to get to my computer anymore and like I said before sometimes I just...

Dear Jakey, I spent a good portion of last night struggling with so much. One of the biggest parts was how would I be strong enough to write you a letter - I felt so down, so upset and throughout the night all I could think of were horrible, sad thoughts. I was...

Dear Jakey, So here I sit. I have been complaining for days about no down time to just get stuff done - I am overwhelmed by all to do, Christmas stuff needs to be put away, thank yous need to be written, scrapbooks and photo books made - and yet when I am finally all...

Dear Jakey, Birthdays suck without you. There I said it. I believe it. I think it. And I know it to be true. But I also know better. I know I need to figure it out and make it work. It is harder than I though it would be though. Yesterday Daddy and I went to the city...

Dear Jakey, Here we are in 2011. The first new year without you. But we brought it in just the way you loved most. It was a little bittersweet because through it I just new that it was your (and mine too) favorite way to celebrate. Uncle Steve and I cooked up some...

Dear Jakey, So it is New Year's Eve. I am looking forward to a very very low-key night. Auntie Spunky and Dave left this morning. Uncle Steve is here. We are cooking some food, watching TV and missing you. I may not even stay up until midnight this year because I had...

Dear Jakey, I don't even know where to start lately. It is so hard to not be devastated every moment of the day. It is almost like the shock and disbelief is starting to wear off and the reality of what life will be like from now on is sinking in. I don't like it...

Dear Jakey, Today was hard again. They are all hard but some are just so hard. I miss you so very much. Today your absence was just so evident. Ethan was excited to sled in our backyard today. He was so excited to do it all together. Usually, Daddy would sled with him...
