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

You were in my dreams again, right before the day dawned on me...I opened the front of a secretary desk finished in shiny dark veneer to find a cluttered mess of items in one of the wide pigeon holes. Somehow knowing it was your desk I was not as shocked by the repulsive disarray of baseball cards, notes, and whatever else. Your things were always scattered, but your mind was always so clear. So I reached in to pull something out (since brothers have eternal access to each other's stuff, right?) and I came up with some folded papers, then identifying them as sheet music. And all I can remember from the title of the piece is "O Holy One". I would say you gotta stop doing this to me, but I could never ask you to live in any other place than my dreams. Thanks for being music to me my brother.

Jake -
this wonderful day we celebrated your gift of light to us. We felt you in the wind on the Pali but more so in the love we have for one another. We also came to understand that we are to build on what we learned through you; knowing with certainty God's love for us and our place in His ever present Kingdom. Jacob, your holiness is perfect because you are One with Him who created us in love. And by His grace we are one with you. humbly and with all my love, dad

Jake,
Today I did my best to celebrate you! A good friend of mine and I celebrated together. Her Dad passed away just a few years ago and today is his birthday. You probably already met him and have swapped stories already. We went to see a movie and have pizza, your favorites. Then we had a Celebration of Life cake which she had made which had your name with a honu and her Dad's name with the Mickey Mouse symbol since his nickname was Mickey. We swapped stories about what great guys you are and laughed about the funny things we remembered. You will always be with me bro. LiveAloha Always.
