Happy 1 Year Angel-versary, Jacob!  / Mommy
Today is your one year angel-versary my special angel. I cannot believe that tonight at 11:26pm you will have been gone exactly one year. It seems like yesterday.

You have had so many friends and family light a candle today in rememberance of you. You were such a strong willed little boy who fought so hard and loved life. You shared so many big beautiful smiles with us and many others. When you would smile the whole room would light up. I've had people tell me that just seeing you smile gave them such a blessing. They could not understand how a child that had so many tubing, wires and instruments attached to him could be so happy and act as if there was nothing that could bring him down. They are the people who did not realize how powerful our God is and how He sent you, his special angel, to teach the world that there is nothing impossible for God. Seeing God work miracles in your life made their faith even stronger and the ones who did not believe, their eyes were opened to the awesome power of our God. You have touched so many lives and still continue to touch lives through the ministry and this memorial.

I'm praying for great things to happen for the ministry. I know that we can make a difference in people's lives thanks to God allowing us to take care of one of his special angels. I have been told that God gives special children to special people and that God chose me as your mother because He knew that I was strong enough to go through the pain and heartache of having you, taking care of you and then giving you back. I've had friends tell me that they know exactly why God chose me and not them, because they could not have handled it. Before you coming into my life I would have said the same thing to other parents in similar situation. I never knew that I could be strong enough to take my child off life support and let him go, but with my faith in God, he held me as I held you and let you go home. I cannot and will never be able to do anything without my Heavenly Father carrying me through it. I am nothing without God. People have also said to me and your grandparents, "I just don't see how you can handle such a situation"........and we answer them as we always have, "God is our strength and without Him we would not be here today."

Jacob,

I'm praying that everyone that visits your memorial will be blessed with your journey and if they are not saved that they will allow Jesus to come into their hearts so that they can one day get to meet you and join their families in Heaven and truly know what "real love" feels like. The love of God is like no other. I've cried many tears over you today as I talked with friends and shared special moments that we had with you. I look forward to the day that I will shed no more tears. I look forward to the day that you run to meet me at the Gates of Heaven.

I love you so much, Punkin! Please continue to visit your brothers in their dreams and send lots of love to your daddy, grandparents, brothers and especially me.

What a beautiful site that you've created! Close

My prayer for you:  / Joel Ohmer (Angel_Wings)
May the Lord soon fill the chasm which Jacob's passing has carved into your heart with the celebration of his life.

I am standing on the seashore. A ship spreads his white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the ocean. I stand watching him until he fades on the horizon, and someone at my side says, "He is gone." Gone where? The loss of sight is in me, not in him. Just at the moment when someone says, "He is gone," there are others who are watching him coming. Other voices take up the glad shout, "Here He comes!" That is dying.

--Henry Scott Holland Close

One Year Without You.............  / Mommy

Good morning, Punkin,

Tomorrow will be one year ago that you passed away.  It seems like just yesterday that I was singing "Jesus Loves Me" to you sitting at your bedside in the NICU at Children's Hospital.  I'll never forget the first time I got to hold you.  You were a month or so old and I was so scared but once the nurse layed you in my arms I was filled with so much joy.  It seemed like eternity before I got to hold you.  I cherish every moment I had with you, but I selfishly wish for even more time but it wasn't in God's plan for me to have you any longer.  You are God's angel and He blessed us with you for 2 1/2 years.  I am grateful that I got to have you that long because there are so many parents who never got the chance to know their baby.  We had the opportunity to hear you speak a few words.  I remember watching your little mouth as you tried so hard to say "momma" even though it came out "mamama" it still tickled me to death to hear you say it and know that I was your mommy.  You shared so many beautiful smiles with us.  You loved your family so much, especially your brothers.  You meant the world to us and you will forever be in our hearts.

We love you and miss you so much, Jacob!  Take care of all your little angel friends and ya'll have fun playing in the beautiful Heavenly gardens chasing butterflies and stomping in the mudd puddles just like little boys love to do.   Being that you were not able to walk while you were with us on Earth, I close my eyes and imagine seeing you running and I smile so big as tears stream down my face rejoicing in the fact that you are free now.

"Happy 1 Year Angelversary my precious baby"

Another Valentines Day without you  / Mommy
Jacob,
I decorated your grave last Sunday for Valentines Day.  It is so pretty and I know how much you love red that you would be very happy to see it also.

I cannot believe that this Sunday, February 3rd will be a year ago since you suffered your stroke.  Time has flown by but in my life it seems like only yesterday that I rushed you to the ER to hear the news that I had heard two times before..............you were going to die.  The past two times I had been told that you were not going to make it, I knew in my heart and had faith that you would make it through it, but this time was different.  Even though you had the best six months of your life before suffering the stroke, I knew it was time for me to let you go, even though I wanted to hang on forever.  

February 3-12 will be the hardest days for me over the next few weeks.  You suffered your stroke on the 3rd, I let you go home to the Lord on February 8th and we buried you on February 12th.  

I love you and miss you so much, Jacob.  My heart will never be the same.  I try my best to help myself heal by helping others, as you would want me to do.

Valentines Day is the day of Love.  I am sending you my love and letting you know that you are missed so deeply.  Send lots of love and kisses to all of us down here and know that we look forward to the day that we will be reunited.

I love you, Punkin! Close

Thinking of all the little angels..........  / Mommy
Jacob.
Austin had another dream about you the other night. He was so excited as he told his mawmaw and pawpaw Harper about seeing you. It was so sweet. God is answering my prayers when I that you visit your brothers in their dreams. I have yet to see you in my dreams but I have signs all around me that let me know that you are with me.

I want you to send love to Landon's family. They are hurting so badly right now. They do not understand why he could be taken when he fought so hard. You know that I live on a roller coaster of emotions and the first emotions are heartache and then that turns to anger. I remember being so angry because I fought so hard to get you here and to keep you with me for as long as possible. You had your good times and bad and I can say that the last six months of your life was the best times ever. God gave us that special time to let you be healthy enough to laugh and play with us. But God gave you to us for only a little while. We were lucky to have you with us for 2 1/2 years. It was not an easy road but we made the best that we could of every moment. People tell me when they see your pictures that they can look into your beautiful blue eyes and see that precious smile and know that you were loved and that you were one of God's Special Angels. We were so blessed to have the oppportunity to have you in our lives. You changed my life forever and you have touched so many hearts.

Please continue to touch the hearts of all the mommy's that I have come to know through sharing your life with them. You are the oldest and that is why I call you their "big brother". Each and every little angel that has joined you has a family that's hearts are breaking, just like mine. Please remember these families and ask God to send comfort and peace to these families, especially the mommy's. There is no other love stornger than the love of a mother and child and when a mother looses that child her life will never be the same. In time we know that the pain will ease a little bit and as the years go bye, the roller coaster ride of emotions will slow down, but their will always be the pain and scar left on her heart.

Please remember the mommy's of the newest angels that have joined you, Jacob. Landon's mommy, Amber; Jackson's mommy; Vickie, Dylan's mommy; Lisa, Kevin's mommy; Bernadette, Joshua's mommy; Jennifer, Remi's mommy; Jessie, Kinsey & Kylee's mommy; Lori, Justin's mommy; Debbie and the many, many others that have joined you.

We love all you special angels. Come see us in your dreams Close

Jacob and Landon  / Becky Howard (Friend)
Trovia,

Thank you for asking sweet Jacob to help Landon in heaven. I, too know that Jacob met him at the gates and was there like a big brother and they are playing and having the best time they have ever had. Jacob, please look out for our precious Landon. He is just a small little one and needs someone like you to help him and to show him how things work up there in heaven. Though I didn't get to meet you in person, you have a special place in my heart and I know that you will be the big brother to Landon that he never had on earth. Give Landon a big kiss and hug for me and tell him that I will see you both some day. I love both of you so much and miss you, sweet angels.

Love, Becky Close

Another Angel in Heaven  / Mommy
Jacob,
I know you met little Landon as he entered the Gates of Heaven Sunday morning.  I know you were with him and watched over him as a big brother would do.  Please send love to his family because they are missing him so much.  His mommy didn't get the chance to say "goodbye" the way I did with you and she is so heartbroken right now as well as the rest of her family.

I love you and miss you so much.  Have a wonderful day in Heaven. Close

Life is so hard........  / Mommy
Jacob,
I have been having the hardest time dealing with you not being here.  I have had crying spells for the last two days and it is affecting me in ways that I cannot control.  I hate the emotional roller coaster that I am on and I want to get off but can't get it to stop.

When will the pain ever end.  I know you want me to be happy and I am trying so hard but it is so difficult especially when your brothers are with their dads and I am here alone in this apartment.  I feel so alone.

Please give me some peace and let me know that you are with me.  Take away my pain and heartache or show me a way to deal with it.

I love you and miss you so much! Close

My prayers are with you  / Mary Tamulevich (prayer warrior )
HE ONLY TOOK MY HAND
Last night while I was trying to sleep,
My son's voice I did hear
I opened my eyes and looked around
But he did not appear.
He said "Mom you've got to listen,
You've got to understand
God didn't take me from you, Mom
He only took my hand
When I called out in pain that night,
The instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me to his side.
He pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and pain
My body was hurt so badly inside,
I could never be the same.
My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.
I love you and miss you so,
And I'll always be nearby.
My body's gone forever,
But my spirit will never die!
And so, you must go on now,
Live one day at a time.
Just understand-
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand.
(Unknown)
All my Love and Prayers

Merry Christmas, Punkin.  / Mommy
Jacob,
I am having a really, really hard time this morning.  I am supposed to be happy and the closer it gets to Christmas, the more my heart aches for you.  I just read some of the messages that friends and family have left and cannot stop crying.  I feel as though my heart is going to explode.  I do not want to do Christmas without you this year but I know I must go on for the rest of the family.  I am trying so hard to be happy for your brothers because I don't want them to see me hurting but it is so, so hard.  

Last night, I watched the DVD's of when your story was on Channel 6 and Channel 13 news.  I enjoyed seeing your sweet face and hearing the funny little noises you were making.  The last one I watched was of your "Celebration of Life"..........it brought back painful memories of the day I had to bury you.  It was a day of both peace and heartbreak.

I've got to go shopping today or tomorrow.  I haven't bought the first Christmas present and Christmas is two days away.  I've got to get busy, huh?

I love you and miss you so much.  Have a Merry Christmas in Heaven this year. Close

Merry Christmas Jacob  / Annette Arterberry (Friend)

Jacob,
I know that you are spending your first Christmas in hevan, but it is going to be you family's first Christmas without you. Send them lots of love. Let them know that they can get through this and in time the pain will ease. You continue to be such a miracle even now. You continue to touch so many people. Have a Merry Christmas Jacob. I pray that your family has a Merry Christmas to.
