Dear Jake,
I know it makes you sad when I'm sad...so thank you for helping me to feel joy again. Did you see me ride the 4-wheeler to Kohlers the other day? I thought you would get a kick out of that! Rick W. called me over and tried to tell me I was doing something illegal, but I was able to convince him otherwise! It was fun riding down Main Street on my bright yellow ATV! I've got to find a trailer to fit it so I can go riding on the trails!
It's different in our house now! You and Zack are gone, John has a full time job, Mike is hardly here...mostly it's me and Spencer...so sudden! Quite an adjustment for me!
Hope you're learning lots of cool stuff! It's just so weird not to be able to see you! Tomorrow we will take a flower to your grave site. I hate that you are in that group...but no more that Uncle James hates that Tom is with you, and Uncle Jack, Uncle Phil...etc., etc.... I know it's part of the life cycle...doesn't mean I have to like it.
I hope you feel joy where you are, Jake! My wish is that if I were able to see you now, my mouth would be tired of smiling...just as it was the day Zack married Caitlin. So happy to see Zack move on with his life and be happy. That was one of my best days! I hope whatever you are doing and experiencing now brings you joy! I hope you feel loved and that you can give the love that fills you so abundantly.
Remember, having a great life is all in the attitude you keep.
Love and miss you, Jake!
Big mommy hug!
This is Jake's Story...
Jake is a 20-year-old twin who has been diagnosed with stage 4 Rhabdomyosarcoma, a very rare form of cancer. Going through a vigorous daily radiation treatment and weekly Chemo treatments make him extremely tired, weak and sometimes nauseous.
Jake is otherwise a normal teenage kid. He likes playing computer games, paintball, swimming and golfing. He loves hanging out with his four brothers, 4 wheeling, camping, and ruining his mom's laundry baskets while making home videos. He hopes to someday become a computer programmer.
This blog was started to keep his family and friends updated on his status.
Addendum: Jake became cured of cancer, free of pain and everything this world brings on September 29, 2010. He continues his journey in Heaven. He is doing awesome! Hope you're doing the same!
His family thanks you for your generosity in donations, love and service. God has shown us many tender mercies!
Thanks for being one of them!
