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!
Hey Jake! Did you know Jord was headed your way? We sure didn't!
I love this picture of you two together! If you can't be here with us, I'm glad you were there for Jordan when he arrived. I'm sure you have met his grandma Thurston by now...so many heading your way! What's up with that?!! More babies...less funerals!
There was a moment there when I thought it was too much...Yet with a few hugs and a ride up AF Canyon on the Can Am, ...perhaps some help from your side... I found the strength to keep going.
Seems like you have been gone such a long time. I don't even have the luxury of wondering when you will be coming back. Nevertheless, my love for you will keep us connected until I get to come where you are.
Thanks for watching over us, Jake! Hurry up with the Heaven Skype! The waiting list is getting longer and longer down here!
Love,
Your favorite mom in the whole universe!
