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

Hello there sunshine, Thank you for being with me at court yesterday. I really appreciate your support and your ear for listening. I know I don"t always make the right decisions but I am really working on that. I need to drive more like an old lady, Ha! As you know Logan takes her drivers test tomorrow and boy do we need prayers, she doesn"t drive that much as she ruined two of my wheels so had to replace them all to the tune of $1,300 so i am hesistant in her driving. She can get her own car to dent up,we know you are with us each day and you know that we are talking to you constantly, thanks Honu Boy Love you lots and miss you so much. Aunty Lisa and Logan L & L

Last night at Relay, you were everywhere. I felt you in the breeze, I heard you in the music and most of all I found you as always in my heart. You have been our messenger from Him who created us in love. Amen.

Jacob, I know you were happy with your cousins today at Laniakea. All four Kats kids (and parents) took the message to heart and became Honu Guardians instantly. I gives me joy to continue to teach your lessons to protect our honu and kohola. You are forever on my mind and in my heart.
Love, Mom

As my alzheimers robs me of my mind one may think it is a trajedy but it is a blessing of sorts because in my own world I feel peace and security. When I am sitting outside I feel your presence and see you on the top edge of the trees. Your presence is comforting to me.

Jake,
We feel so fortunate to know you and the great influence you have on so many people. We haven't known you for very long, but we feel as though we have because of your wonderful sister Paloma. You are a powerful example and hero.

I hope that through my honu glass etchings your research and love for the honu will grow and continue to help those peaceful creatures of the sea.
