For those of you connecting with Jacob's page, especially friends from Spain, we wanted to share some photos of our recent trip that reminded us of Jacob's time there and reminded us he was with us every day. We followed most of his itinerary that we found when we discovered his journal from the trip all written in Spanish.

him extra money as he was having too
much fun at the discoteque

My dearest Jakey,
I can't believe a year has gone by, at times I ask myself the question of "why?"; I know where you are, a bright shining star; that we are One brings me hope and encourages me to continue to cope; I know I will see you again someday, but deep in my heart I really just wanted you to stay.
Know that we celebrate YOU and US today in all we do. Thank you Jakey for the many lessons learned this past year. I love you Jib! LiveAloha!

Another full moon reminds me of that safe place we would visualize together. Swimming with the honu in the moonlight. And thanks for sending your greeting through Caspar. All my love, Mom.

Hi Jib, I know how much you love Thanksgiving...helping to prepare the cranberry relish, smothering your potatoes in gram's gravy, whacking your first helping of turkey before I even get started, and being sure to have a big topping of whip cream on mom's pumpkin pie. You know I am thinking about you and our Thanksgivings together. Today, like every day, I give thanks for you and to you. I love you, Paloma

Jacob you are my shining star.Thank you for being there through all the hard times. I really appreciate you watching over your cousin Logan as she thinks she is bigger than life right now. I ask you to talk with her on slowing down her driving as she has had a few fender benders as you have witnessed.I don't know how my parents or yours do it with all these children Uncle Gregg too,as one is enough for me. Love her so much and am worried sick everytime she drives off. Keep smiling and boy what a presentation in Washington, sorry it has taken me so long to write in your journal no excuses I love you Aunty Lisa

Jacob, your love, strength, courage, devotion and faith continue to transcend time, state lines and international boundaries. I am honored to have been a small part of your life, you a much bigger part of mine. Through your life, we, your family and friends, have become stronger in the knowledge of His love for us. You continue to hit me square in the forehead about the meaning of perspective. In His Name, Uncle Gregg.

Jake -
how do you reduce to words that mean anything, something you can only know in your heart? Thankfully you know my heart. You know my love for you and the gratitude we feel for your gift of light.
Always in Jesus name and one in heart. Gently, dad

Jakey, Your strength, courage, determination and faith continue to inspire me. During this season of thanksgiving, I remember and give thanks for all the qualities of your love and that of our friend, the Holy Spirit. The two of you move me every day in a way that brings me closer to peace. This season I will remember those three small yet impactful gifts of faith,hope and love. Thank you Jacob.

Jakey,
As always I know you are with me especially on the recent trip home. Dad and I golfed the Klipper which of course reminded me of the most famous "B*!!$h#t" story. Everyday I realize how much wisdom you had and why you got so frustrated with us mortals when you tried to explain things to us. You truly had vision beyond your years, I'm sorry I didn't have my ears open then. They are open now, so keep sending me your messages. Love you bro!

My dearest Jakey,
As much as I know that I always have you with me and that we are one in Him, I miss YOU terribly.I will try to find comfort today in knowing that I will see you again and get a glimpse of your radiant smile, look into your caring eyes, hear your passionate voice, and be held by you. Until then, I will continue to be strong and courageous and believe.
I love you,
your sister

Hi Mijo -
You brought us awareness of a new relationship with our Father God. We had not seen or heard of this true life with Him. We have begun to remember His forgiveness and His love. I am one in heart with you Jake. dad
