Oh my Dear sweet Jake, where to start. The pain we felt at your passing was so great. I had your name put on my arm forever so every morning I look in the mirror & think of you. I know we will be together again someday. When my work here on earth is done I will come join you. Spread your sweetness & your smile throughout Heaven. Always know I love you

sweet Jake,
I never had the chance to meet you, but your life has touched me deeply. I know that you are in a better place and being loved by the angels in heaven, but it is still so hard for those that miss you so very much. I'm praying for you and for peace for your family. I know I will meet you one day in heaven.

I took a picture of you at your first bday party, and knew you had to be the sweetest baby when you looked up at me w/those beautiful big eyes and smiled. After getting to know your mom and your family, I know how blessed you were...one year on earth but already you've received lifetimes of love from them and that won't ever change. You are truly missed each and every day.

Jake, I don’t know where to start. I miss you every morning, afternoon and evening. I miss your smile which was your trademark…you were always smiling. And happy, I have never known a baby to be so happy…I can hardly remember a moment you weren’t, which made us all around you smile. My sweet Grandson in Heaven, you will never be forgotten as long as we are here. Love you Jake, Gra

Jake, not a day goes by that I don’t think about you and look at your beautiful picture. You uplifted my life with your happy personality and contagious smile. You were always so happy to see Gra and me. Sadly, the Good Lord took you from us far too soon – I will never forget you and will love you forever.

Love, Pop

First Birthday

March 5, 2012

Your first birthday and your birthday will always be with our family. See Jake, you share that day with my little girl, Emma.  Your first birthday was a joint celebration with her. You and her had your first "friend" party, cake, balloons, everything. Every March 5 since that day I have woken up, said a prayer for you and wished you a Happy Birthday. I don't think anyone knew this until now. The way you had icing all over your face, the way your eyes twinkled in the light of the candle and how you beamed when everyone sang Happy Birthday to you! It was and always be an extremely special day to us. March 5 is a day that took on a whole extra special meaning to us in this family!

So with all of this said I wish you Jakey a very Happy Birthday! We miss you terribly! 

story time

February 9, 2012

Of course there were many nights where you Dougie and I read stories in the bedroom together.   But one night in particular we were all being silly and you started patting (I guess more like smacking) me on the cheek.  Dougie started cracking up and I was laughing too so you kept doing it.  It was so cute how you knew what you were doing kept us laughing so you kept doing it.

wonderful memories......

February 6, 2012

I could probably write a story for almost every day we were blessed to have you with us…thinking about you and looking at pictures reminds me of so many…but a few of my favorite moments were…

 

…when Pop and I would come to visit or babysit for you and Dougie, you would see the door open and immediately come to greet us.  I usually came in first and you would crawl and smile towards me…but as soon as you saw Pop you would crawl right past me and wait for him to pick you up…you certainly were “Pop’s little guy.”

 

…during a visit at Christmas, I gave you a chocolate candy cane (because Dougie didn’t like peppermint)…well, you could not lick it fast enough.  You would not let it go until it was completely gone.  How funny it was and we both had so much candy cane all over us that day.

 

…but what was one of the nicest memories was how you loved to follow your Dougie around and do EVERYTHING he did.  He was the best big brother and would help you do what he did.  You would watch him and try to copy whatever he was doing no matter how hard it was for someone your size and age.  It was always such fun to see the two of you together.

 

Love you Jake,

Gra
