Our family is participating in Light the Night 2008.
In memory of our Jacob

we are joining thousands of people at South Bank, Brisbane to carry a balloon containing a tiny light. Together we'll create a sea of glowing lights and we'll remember, celebrate and give hope to patients and families living with blood cancers, such as leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

We're raising funds to help the Leukaemia Foundation invest in critical research into better treatments and hopefully cures, as well as supporting patients during their long and tough treatment.

Would you support me in Light the Night by making a secure online donation using your credit card?

If you'd like to join me at Light the Night, you will get the chance at the end of your donation process, or you can go to www.lightthenight.org.au and search for
"Leukaemia Sux!" remembering Jacob.

Thanks for your support! Your gift will help create a brighter future for those with blood cancers, such as leukaemia.

Dear Jake
I dreamt I was teaching you how to waltz last night
You were dressed up in formal clothes and we were dancing and doing the “pride of Erin” 
The dream reminded me of the times we would be silly and dance in the lounge room …you ,Jacinta and the boys would “pretend” you didn’t want to dance with me and we would dance and laugh until we were breathless  .
Jake I so miss the silly times …
You always loved music Jacob I hope you are dancing in heaven
Thank you for the dream mate it was so nice to wake up and feel happy
Love you to the moon and back to the galaxies and beyond infinity plus 1
Xxxxxxxx Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Happy Birthday on Saturday Jacinta
have a wonderful day full of love and lots of surprises
we love you more and moe every day

I just received this from ^i^Kyle's Mum...and,thought I would share
Love always Jacob's Mum

Allowing Grief

I am sorry if I don't grieve correctly.
Please share with me the standards you use to judge.
In the beginning if I held my emotions it wasn't enough.
Yet now you do not wish to be reminded of what I can never forget.

How can one judge someone else’s emotions.
Who are they to say what is correct.
Where does one find the expiration date for grieving their child?
Is our pain any less as time goes by?

We are able to get through our good and bad days.
We have had practice now in how to put on a act.
Yes, all the world is a stage and I am a consummate actress.
I am playing the role of my life and I must give it all that I have.

Nobody wants to see my tears now.
No one wants to acknowledge that I still hurt.
Everyone wants life as it used to be.
Can't they see that so do I?

Where are the books that tell us when we can feel and when we cannot?
Is there a set formula that we must follow?
Will there be a test we are expected to pass?
Why are we not allowed to have our own feelings?

Until the end of my days I will grieve my child.
I am sorry if you think I am doing it wrong.
It will be done at my own speed.
She was my child and not yours.

Please allow me my grief!

With shared hearts,

Beth Anne
Our Kyle (2/10/88 to 12/7/92)

Hi Jake
I was making the bed this morning changing the sheets ..Bejay was on the bed and when I let the sheet billow out to cover the mattress he was under it …it reminded me of when you were little, on sheet changing day you would always climb up on the bed and loved the sheets going over you and you would laugh and giggle (oops boys don’t “giggle” do they ;-) ….
Then you would lay really still and I would make the bed around you pretending not to know you were there.. You would giggle to yourself….
Once the bed was made there was always a “lump” I would have to try and smooth out …”what is that big lump doing in my bed?”I would say … You, would pop your head out and say, “it’s me Jacob!”…I would chase you around the bed laughing your head off …then off to the next bed and it would start all over again ;-)
Ah Jakey of I could have kept you that little and safe home with me I would have
I miss you sunshine boy

There are so many times when I miss Jake
Sometimes it’s the smallest of things that will bring home that fact that he is really gone from our lives
Physically though of cause he will never really be gone as he lives in every beat of our hearts ….

I can’t tell how many times I would see something in the yard like a blue tongue or Like the book Book owl that came and sat in the jacaranda tree all day The sacred kingfisher that sat on the clothes line everyday for over a week at Christmas ..I would find myself getting up to run in to tell Jake about them ,to call him to come and have a look …..Then I stop and remember that he won’t be there in the house for me to tell…. So, I look up to the clouds and talk to him telling him how much he is loved and missed …..
I know that there will be many more moments like that there will be the rest of my life when I will want to share something with my Jake ..and will have to instead of sharing with him to see his face as he looks as well, I will have to continue to look to the sky and talk to my own Angel and continue to miss him with every beat of my heart ….

Fly high on your eagle wings my Jake, and know that you are “loved to the moon and back the galaxies and beyond infinity plus 1 “ and you can’t beat that! Sunshine boy :-)

Anzac Day
In loving memory of my grandfather’s Jack Uren and Scotty Shipley who fought for this great southern land we call Australia
Because of the sacrifices of many young men and woman we are a free country …and in Memory of the Diggers still sacrificing their lives …..

I hope and pray that one day there will be no more killing, no more terror no more war so they haven’t given their lives for nothing …
Lest we forget
“flag of the southern cross” By Henry Lawson
Sons of Australia be true to her-
Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross!
Sing out a loud song and be joyous and new to her-
Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross!
Stained with the blood of the Diggers who died by it-
Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross and abide in it-
Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross

jon’s dad

Han’s (John) Anton Steinmetz
23rd September 193? –7th April 2008

I received a phone call from my Dad this morning to tell us that Jon’s Father had passed away on Monday
It’s such sad news for Jon he Lost Our Jacob (his little mate), Mother (Helen) in 1979 His Brother Tony in 1985 his nephew Joseph in 1995 and now his Dad…….

This is the last Photo I have Jon's dad with the Kids it was taken just before we moved to Queensland In 1993


Hey Jake
Your Poppy steinmetz in there in heaven now
I know you didn't really know him here on earth But I hope he can tell you some of the funny stories that he and uncle Wally use to get up to when they were young
I miss you Jake
I love you to the moon and back the galaxies and beyond infinity plus 1

I was going through a photo disc the other day and found some photos of Jake’s trip to Disneyland
This photo of Jake was taken outside of the Disneyland gates
Jake and the boys had gotten through the turnstile before Jon and I
My heart just skipped a beat when I saw the Police there “talking” to the boys …
I thought they must have broken some law and were getting arrested ;-) Then the policeman started laughing ( so I knew everything was ok ;-) The boys were happily Chatting away about his cute little car ( I think they at first didn’t realize that it was a real police car ;-) The officer was so sweet and posed for photos with the kids
One thing about Jake I miss so much is how everywhere he went he somehow made friends …
He and Jonathon both have that really outgoing nature that seemed to draw people to them

Jake I hope you had a wonderful Easter there in heaven
Love you to the moon and back the galaxies and beyond infinity plus 1 xxxxxx Mum
PS was that you changing the melody on the door bell last night ??? Love u

Sometimes the angels fly
close enough to you that you
can hear the flutter of their wings...

Jacob’s 1st easter

Thursday, February 21, 2008 6:06 PM CST

The boys have been reminiscing a fair bit about Jake lately
It’s been so nice to hear them talk about him and laugh as well
It really warms my heart to know that they still think of him and remember fun things more
That the sad times, It makes me feel like, they are starting to heal … it’s been a long hard road and none if us will ever be the same But the healing has begun ( I hope)
We will all always miss Jake he was such a character and had such energy, it’s nice to know that the kids all have such happy memories of him and he will live on

I miss you Jake I love you to the moon and back the galaxies and beyond infinity plus 1

Jacob's cat passed away tonight :-(
He had cancer ,we had been putting off having him put down ...now we don't have to make the decision ....
I wonder if animals get to go to heaven too ...maybe he is sleeping on Jake's bed tonight
Snuggles always slept on the end of Jake's bed and after we lost Jake he wouldn't sleep inside of a night time any more ...
Snuggles always slept in the strangest places ….
Today I walked into the lounge room and there was snuggles on top of the cabinet amongst Jake's Lord of the rings figurines I don't know how he got there with out knocking everything off :-) But he did ...
he was not happy when I made him get down ....
unfortunately tonight he was asleep on our neighbours driveway she didn’t see him in the dark and ran over him …it was quick and he felt nothing ( I hope)
I know he was 'just" a cat but we had him for 12 years and love him



Snuggles may 1996-4th February 2008

Dear Jake
I hope snuggles went to heaven to be with you sunshine
i know how much you both loved each other
if he is there with you give him a cuddle from me
I love you jake to the moon and back
love Mum

Dear Jake
Today should be your 1st day of your senior year at school
Today I should have walked into your room and woke you up
for a new school year
Today I should have packed your lunch box put a silly
note into it for you to see.. so that you would know how much I love you
Today I should have been waiting for you to drive you home from school
and hear how you did "nothing" all day :-)
Today I should have had to tell you to put your school bag away ..
pick up your school clothes and all the other nagging things a mother gets to do
Today I should have been able to say Study hard learn something new everyday I love you Jake

But…. I didn't get to do any of that today
Today I missed you like I miss you everyday
Today I love you as I have loved you every day
Jake with all of my heart I wished I could turn back time
Love Mum

“Denise’s Run for Cancer”
(I received this email today )

Hi, Deanne! I arrived home very early Friday morning from Disney. Today is Saturday, and my first time back on the computer. Earlier in the week when I replied to your email, it was from my iPhone, so it was very brief.
The race was challenging for me as I was sick on the course, but I did complete it. I had Jacob's photo on my back with the others (see attachment). I kept remembering what you told me, that he would be running beside me - that helped later in the race. Also, I saw Goofy on the course and smiled as I thought of Jacob.
I will be sending out a more detailed email soon. God Bless.

A new school year starts today …. Today Jacob would be starting his senior year (year 12)
He would have been looking forward to so much this year …His school formal
Graduation…” schoolies” week ( I think this is what he would have been looking forward to the most ;-)
I wonder if he would have gone on to Uni next year or decided to be a Tradie like his Brother’s
There is so much we as a family are missing out on ( and it sux…)

I miss your Jake… I miss how you use to poke your tongue out the side of your mouth when you were concentrating on something ;-) ;-)
I miss hearing you sing ..I miss your music … I miss your cuddles …I miss your little love notes you use to put in my bag or on my pillow….I miss your little daisy’s … I miss your laugh…
I miss everything about you my sunshine boy….
Always know that you are loved to the moon and back the galaxies and beyond infinity plus 1

Sunday the the 13th Of January Denise Michard is running in the Walt Disney World marathon
support of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. That's 26.2 miles,
Denise had asked us if she could use our Jacob as one of the Children she is running in memory of
We were so touched and honoured that she would chose our Aussie Angel to run for

So far this year she had raised 2,500 for this run please if you can visit her site Donate Denise Michard


we wish her a good run

This was the letter I first received from Denise

Dear Jacob's family:
I came across your site through reading Madison Beck's site (you had left a comment). I live in Birmingham, AL, USA, and am an active participant with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (I have a job interview with them today :-)). I began running marathons in January on behalf of the LLS to raise monies for research and patient services, and plan to keep doing this for as long as I can stay healthy. January, 2008, will be my fourth marathon in one year. Never did I think that at 41 years old I would begin taking on such a challenge. However, in my life I have crossed paths with many individuals with blood cancers (including my father - 11 years in remission from Leukemia) and decided that I needed to find a way to help fight this cancer. I have read many of the entries and your son is an amazing child. What a blessing to you he must be! I wanted to ask you if I can add his name to my list of honorees that I run for. During my races, I place his name on a ribbon and pin it to my singlet. It is my inspiration. I also hold fundraisers and have photos of some of my honorees and would like to print a photo of Jacob, with your permission. If you are okay with me doing this, I would also like to ask if you could write a paragraph or two (no longer than one page) of Jacob's story that I can put with the picture. You may also check out my website at www.active.com/donate/tntagc/DeniseMichard
Thank you for sharing his life with us. God bless you.
Together in the Task,
Denise

JACOB’S STAR
For Christmas this year Jacinta ordered through the “star Foundation”
A star in Jacob’s name (the money goes to charity) and Jake gets his own star named after him
This was such a beautiful thing for Jacinta to do in Jacob’s memory

Jake’s star is in the constellation of “Orion” the hunter
Right ascension 5:21:36.3, Declination 5:10:07,Magnitude 10.37
I really think Jacob would be secretly thrilled to know that Jacinta has honored him in this way

We love you Jacob to the moon and back to the galaxies and beyond infinity plus 1 and now… to Orion and back as well 
Xxxx mum




You will always be our Star jake xxx

A New Year Jacob Memory
On one of the first new years we spent after our move to Queensland
We braved the crowds and took the train into the city for the New Year celebrations at “South bank”
After finding a really good spot we laid our picnic blanket down while the kids ran off to play in the lagoon..They swam and had a ball listening to the bands playing on the river

My favorite memory is of the four kids all sitting in the water faces glowing as they watched the midnight fire works they were so happy that night and even the long train ride home didn’t dampen their enthusiasm
Happy new year every one hold you kids tight and tell them how much they are loved every single day

Jake I miss you, I love you to the moon and back to the galaxies and beyond infinity plus 1
Xxxxxxxxxxx ooooooooo Mum


PS I would also like to say Thank you to everyone that still visits Jacob’s page and sign the guess book
You will never know how much the messages mean to us
Love always Jacob’s Mum

Today is Christmas day I hope every one had a wonderful Christmas full of love and happy memories

My day started with a dream, I dreamt that I had a bunch of balloons that I had written “Jacob, I love you, Mum” on them.. In my dream I watched the balloons float towards heaven , after a few minutes they drifted back down to earth and they said “I love you Mum” I felt so happy I said "I love you too jake" ;-)
Then reached into my bag and there was a black and white butterfly with red trim on it’s wings it then flew gently away …
I feel this was my Christmas gift from My Jacob to tell me he was Ok and to have a good Christmas day ..
Jon and I were up and about before the kids this year which is a first ;-) Jacinta took over Jacob’s handing out the present’s role ;-) I’m sure Jake wouldn’t have minded ;-) we spent a quiet day just the six of us …It was such a lovely day just us and of cause the dream from Jacob started the day off right ;-) we had Christmas lunch in the yard ..there were so many Butterflies around today all colours though, I didn’t get to see the one from my dream ..(We did have a little kingfisher sitting on the clothes line for ages this morning ( I have never seen one in my yard before)

Merry Christmas and happy healthy safe 2008
Love Jacob’s family



Dear Jake
You were soo missed today thank you for the dream sunshine I really needed it
What do you think of the pond area Dad and the kids did up for you and I for Christmas ? they did so much work leveling the yards and laying all the gravel and flower beds it's so pretty now
I remember so many days we would sit out there and Chat or look up at the stars ..I miss our Chats Jake
Talking of Stars Jacinta has brought YOU one for Christmas I can’t wait until we get the directions for it so we can see “YOUR” very own star
I made your snow man this year for the table it actually stayed together this year not as good as you made though ;-) ;-)
I hope sunshine boy you had the most amazing Christmas with Jesus this year
Love you ,miss you to the moon and back to the galaxies and beyond infinity plus 1

Christmas Without You

The lights are blinking merrily
The tinsel’s on the tree
It sits there in the window
For all the world to see.

The house is filled with holly
And pinecone scents the air
The Christmas cards keep coming
Each one is hung with care.

The gifts are tied with ribbons red
And topped with pretty bows
I’m done with all the details
As far as Christmas goes.

The fire is softly glowing
I think about your touch
But Christmas isn’t Christmas
I miss you oh, so much.

If I could have just anything
My Christmas wish would be
To wake up in the morning
And find you here with me.

Staring at your picture
I long to be set free
Tonight the tears are streaming
As I hold it next to me.

Flakes of snow swirl through the air
I’m braced for stormy weather
I wait for brighter days ahead
When we can be together.

So hold a place in heaven
Someday when life is through
I’ll be the Christmas angel
Who shares this day with you.

Saturday, December 01, 2007 0:36 AM CST


It’s almost Christmas again .. This will be our Third without Jake
It’s hard to imagine how quickly the time has gone; it still feels like yesterday that he was here with us

Christmas was Jake’s favourite time of year he loved all the excitement, the secrets and the gift buying
He loved to shop our Jake ;-) he gets that from his Dad ;-)

Jake loved to decorate the Christmas tree every year he would say it was his turn to put the Angel on theTop (the kids take turns every year )
One year as a joke I made a schedule for the Angel up until the year 3000 ;-)

Jacob’s last christmas was just before he went into Transplant it was Ryan’s turn that year to do the Angel …Jake had asusal asked to do it but I said it was Ryan’s turn ….How I wished now I had of changed the rule just that one time …I think a part of me didn’t want to give in as I felt it might jinks him and he wouldn’t be there the next Christmas to have his turn ….as it Turned out he wasn’t

(Jake I’m so sorry I didn’t allow you to do the Angel I wish I could turn back the clock and you could have done it every year kiddo …….)
The kids have decided on the years that it’s jacob’s turn there will be no Angel .. I think that’s fair
As he is our Angel now …


I remember all the Christmases when jacob and the kids would have us up at the crack of dawn
Jake loved to hand out the presants …while we sat there bleery eyed and ½ asleep Jacob would be all bright eyed and bushy tailed giving every one their gifts ..you would hardly have one opened and he would be there with the next one :-)…. Christmas through jacob’s eyes was a very fun day

Have a merry Christmas every one give each of your kids an extra cuddle
With love Jacob’s family
Ps Song playing Little drummer boy Jacob's favourite christmas carol

Thank you for the kind hearted people
who have made the following gifts for My Angel Jacob

We don’t really have Halloween here in Australia
so I thought I would share some photo’s of Jake for school dress up days
When he was little he wore his superman /batman/spiderman/powerranger’s suits everywhere :-)
I have only put a couple of photos on I hope you enjoy Jake always wanted to go trick or treating
But as it’s not a custom here he never got to go
Happy Halloween

I received an email from Joseph’s mum the other day
I hope she doesn’t mind my reprinting it here on Jake’s page
It was so nice to hear from someone that knew my Jake when he was alive
It means more to me than anyone will ever know to have someone remember Jacob as he was
Happy full of life caring and a character
We never hear from anyone that knew Jake before.. (before the Leukaemia ,before he left us)
Family and friends have all moved on, no one thinks that we Jake’s family need to hear that he is remembered that he was a vibrate strong energetic person I know after 2years people have expected us to have moved on (forget ?never!)
I have been lucky enough to have met on line a group of Mum’s that have also had the experience of losing a child and it seems to be a reoccurring train of thought ..the fear that our kids have been forgotten
The people who say that we live in the pass to move on …unless you have Lost a child you will never understand that yes you do live in the pass because the pass is where our child is now our child has no future …Life goes on ..Yes! life goes on, and we do go along with it too …there is a future for all of us but there was also a pass and in that pass there was a beautiful blonde haired bundle of energy named Jacob Michael Scott and we miss him more than any word can ever express

Never be afraid to mention my Child name there will be days when his name will make me laugh there are days when the mention of his name will make me cry ..but to not mention his name breaks my heart
To not talk about him breaks my soul he was, he lived and he is loved

Thank you Jenny for remembering my Jacob for mentioning his name you will never know how much it meant to me
Love always Jacob’s Mum

Jenny’s email
Hi there, just a quick note to let you know that I’ve been thinking of you. Not much has changed here, Joseph is still off doing his own thing, but we’ve managed to keep the nasal tube at bay so far! All of the Mater oncology moved over to the Royal last Monday – it will be a big change for everyone. Went back to 8East one last time to say goodbye to everyone and all the memories were there.
I could still see Jacob sitting there in the kitchen, very patiently teaching Joseph and Louise how to play chess, while they were cheating left right and centre, Jake’s barbeque and his love of chocolate cake, the New Years Eve party we had outside, Samantha nuzzling in close to Jake and eating all his chips then sneaking over to the private rooms to watch the fireworks on the river. All very special memories that I get to keep forever! I count myself very lucky to have met Jacob and his beautiful family!!!!!
Take care, Jenny

I was watching the DVD of Jacob’s trip to Disneyland last night
It was wonderful to hear his voice and see him happy and laughing
Even looking “healthy” he wore this silly goofy hat all the time
While we were there
If I could just turn back time ….(sigh)
I miss your smile Jakey Michael
Love your Mum


Happy Birthday Jaren have a great 23rd birthday mate
24th) Happy Birthday Ebony and Bailey have the best day you two hope you are both spoilt rotten :-)

Jacob’s plaque
One again we have been blown away by the random acts of kindness from a complete stranger
The plaque that the kids ordered for Jake arrived on Wednesday It has turned out beautifully
(Thank you Jim)
We are placing it at the tree that Michelle and Paul (our neighbours) gave us after we lost Jacob
We were at the Landscaping place today to look for a stone or something to attach the plaque to
So it can go in the garden
While we were looking one of the men asked us if we needed help …
We said we were looking for A boulder/stone …
As most of the people who go there are doing up rockeries and order their stone/boulders by the square meter
The guy was curious about why we just wanted just one boulder
Jon explained that Our Jacob had died from Leukaemia and that we were placing a plaque in our garden, as the ones at the cemetery were expensive and Jim had made Jacob’s plaque for our yard
He was so moved (the poor guy) and refused to take payment for the stone we had picked out
(Jon insisted on paying but he refused to take the money but.. to let Jon keep some pride ;-)he charged $5.00 (for a $50.00 stone! ) ;-)
It never ceases to amaze me what wonderful people there are in the world
How after 2 years and 3 months (today) since our Jacob left us people are still so kind and show love and support for a brave young man they had never met
Jake I hope you like what we going to do with your plaque
We miss you our sunshine boy

I recieved this email we are so honoured that Denise has chosen our Jacob to be one of the kids she is running in honour of
Please visit Denises site and if you can sponcer her run
Thank you Denise you will never know how much this means to all of us

Dear Jacob's family:
I live in Birmingham, AL, USA, and am an active participant with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (I have a job interview with them today :-)). I began running marathons in January on behalf of the LLS to raise monies for research and patient services, and plan to keep doing this for as long as I can stay healthy. January, 2008, will be my fourth marathon in one year.
Never did I think that at 41 years old I would begin taking on such a challenge. However, in my life I have crossed paths with many individuals with blood cancers (including my father - 11 years in remission from Leukemia) and decided that I needed to find a way to help fight this cancer.
I have read many of the entries and your son is an amazing child. What a blessing to you he must be! I wanted to ask you if I can add his name to my list of honorees that I run for. During my races, I place his name on a ribbon and pin it to my singlet. It is my inspiration.
I also hold fundraisers and have photos of some of my honorees and would like to print a photo of Jacob, with your permission. If you are okay with me doing this . You may also check out my website at www.active.com/donate/tntagc/DeniseMichard
Thank you for sharing his life with us. God bless you.
Together in the Task,
Denise

September is also Childhood cancer awarness month
please visit this link there is a very moving video

Happy Father's day

Dear Jake
Today was father’s day …another without you here …
Your Dad missed you so much to day Kiddo
The kids took him for breakfast at “the point” ..
Do you remember all the times we had breakfast down there before school ? You and the boys would have a swim before you had to get dressed to go to school … you trying to catch crabs and our walks out to the island ?
After breakfast we went for a walk along the peer they have done it up since last time you were there
I was telling Mel about the day you tried to catch the fish and that man caught you before you fell in 
We had a good laugh at that …
The day was ok for your Dad I think, he has been very quiet, he misses you more than he ever lets on Jakey
There is always a tinge of sadness with everything we do as a family without you here to make us laugh ….

By the way, was it you ringing the door bell today when we got home? None of us were near the bell
And it went off (again) playing a melody that the door bell hasn’t got on it,
it made your Dad smile when I said it must have been you saying G’day :-)

I miss you sunshine
Love always Your Mum



have a wonderful father's day Jon
with love always your kids Jacinta Jonathon Ryan and Jacob

A Jacob memory

Dear Jake
We were remembering the other day our trip to the Gold coast, when we all went on the jet skies
Do you remember how much fun it was?
Jonathon was laughing about the stack you and he had, he said one minute he was behind the you on the jet ski and the next minute he was flying through the air and in the water … remember how hard you and he were laughing
( I was so worried that you had been hurt ) you both just popped back on and off you went :-) do you remember the dolphin the swam right up to you (and how much it scared your silly mum ;-)
I remember how much you and the kids teased me about that …(they stilll tease me )
The kids were on the floor laughing mimicing me (screaming) they seemed to think it was amusing
Don’t know if I share their enjoyment though ;-)
Do you remember how large the sun was as it was setting at the mouth of the bay ? it was amazing
I will never forget the silhouette of the four of you sitting there on the jet skies with the sun behind you
I wish I hadn’t been such a scared cat and taken the camera out and took a photo of that afternoon

I miss your laugh Jake I miss your little teases … we all miss you sunshine

To the moon and back the galaxies and beyond infinity plus 1

Love and hugs Mum

This brought back a funny Jacob and Jacinta memory Our Jacinta has been frightened of birds since she was very little and was attacked by magpies This has been a source of amusement for the boys as they find it so funny that someone could be afraid of “birds” When we are out at the beach or even in our own back yard because birds are everywhere it’s not something that can be avoided When we went to the Sydney Zoo Jake was so determent to cure Jacinta of this fear … I will never forget Jake persuading Jacinta to go to the Bird display show We hadn’t even gotten there before a bird flew over head and Jacinta hit the deck screaming We were all laughing so hard (well! it was funny ;-) Jacob walked over to Jacinta took her hand and said it’s ok (like talking to a very small child) he would look after her the birds weren’t going to hurt her With a little (really a lot) of persuasion, Jacinta holding Jake’s hand walked over to the near front row to watch the birds I was sitting at the back of the arena laughing to myself as each bird flew over , Jake would talk to Jacinta telling her it was Ok ( as she was almost climbing under the seat) By the end of the show he had her lining up to get even closer to the birds he was determined that she would conquer her fear… I think he was very proud of himself that day (She is still scared of birds though now I don’t think as much ;-) Jacinta was not amused I think when Jake said that if he could come back he would come back as an Eagle ( or a cheetah) She said that he couldn’t come back as a Bird cause she was scared of them ..Jake just laughed (ps This trip happened just after the Doctors told Jake he was going to die ) Jacinta and Jake at bird show (Jake red hat and shorts Jacinta denim skirt) Sunday june01,2007 Friday, June 22, 2007 4:39 PM CDT Baby News Congratulaion’s to my Nephew Luke and his partner Elizabeth on the safe arrival of Tayleah Lois Murphy Born at 3pm Thursday 21st of June 2007 Baby sister for Chase Jacob to spoil Boy Baby border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"> Congratulation’s to my niece Rhiannon and her hubby Luke On the safe arrival of their first born child Ethan Robert Smith Made his way into the world at 2:50am safe and sound after a long labour 22nd of June 2007 Ethan’s Daddy is in Iraq we hope you come home soon Luke safe and sound to see Your baby boy Congratulation's Marree and Gerard on your two new granbabies Friday, June 13, 2007 4:39 PM CDT Thank you and well done to Our jacinta and the girls from her office (All Trades Queensland) fro donating Blood in Jacob's memory I'm so proud of you all Thank you to every one that has taken the Time to sign Jake’s guess book Thank you to everyone that remembered our Jake’s angel day and took the time to make these beautiful gifts .

And when the march was over the boy looked rather tired. A digger said. "Whose medals son?" to which the boy replied,, "They belong to my Dad, but he didn't come back. He died up in New Guinea, up on the Kokoda Track". The boy looked rather sad, and a tear came to his eye, But the digger said, "Don't worry son, I'll tell you why," He said, "Your old man marched with us today, all the bloomin way, All us diggers knew he was here, it's like that on Anzac Day. The boy looked rather puzzled he didn't understand But the digger went on talking, and started to wave his hand, "For this great land we live in, there's a price we have to pay, To keep Australia free, and fly our flag today.' 'Yes we all love fun and merriment in this country where we live, "But the price was that some soldier his precious life must give, "For you to go to school, my son, and worship God at will. "Somebody had to pay the price, so our diggers paid the bill." "Your dad died for us my son for all things good and true. "And I hope you can understand these words I've said to you". The boy looked up at the digger and after a little while, His face changed expression, and he said with a beautiful smile, I know my dad marched here today, this our Anzac Day, I know he did, I know he did. all the bloom'n way!"

face, The corner of your smile, And all the little things that no one will ever know. Like it was yesterday, won’t ever fade away, Goodbye is just a word that I will never say. You will never be forgotten. A million days could pass us by, But what is time but just a dream? Oh, I still feel you here with me. You’re more than just a memory. Oh, you will never be forgotten. I can‘t hold your hand Or look into your eyes, And when I talk to you, It just echoes in my mind; But If hearts are made of dust And if we fell from the stars, I would look up tonight and know just where you are. You will never be forgotten. A million days could pass us by, But what is time but just a dream? Oh I still feel you here with me. You’re more than just a memory. Oh, you will never be forgotten. And the world just keeps on going; It has no way of knowing That you’re gone. You will never be forgotten. A million days could pass us by, But what is time but just a dream? Oh, I still feel you here with me. You’re more than just a memory. Oh, you will never be forgotten Thank you Brenda for this beautiful Music and lyrics Monday, February 12, 2007 3:53 PM CST A Jacob memory This is for Aubrielle’s Dad ;-) In my last entry I said that Jake only got to go to High school a few times One afternoon I was waiting for him to walk to the car As I was watching in the rear view mirror, I saw Jake wave good bye to his mates He had “The” biggest grin on his face and was looking very pleased with him himself He got into the car “hi mum” and couldn’t stop grinning, you know, that grin when you know your kids have been up to something… I asked how was his day he just looked at me with that grin and said, “ really good…I have a girl friend” I tried not to laugh at the look on his face …then he said “she just kissed me” I laughed he was sooo happy The next day he had to go to the hospital for his weekly check up with Dr Ram Jake couldn’t wait to tell him ;-) Ram was so funny asking me “did I know this girl? did she come from a good family? Was she good enough for His Jacob”? I remember Jake and I laughing at how “father” Like he was being (he often called Jake “his Jacob ;-) I wish I could remember her name, (you would think I would remember the name of his first real kiss) (you know! I think Jake would probably kill me for this entry ;-)LOL) Happy Valentines day Tuesday February 01 2007 Happy Birthday 6th feb Marree and Bianca have a great day both of you ;-) Happy 1st Birthday to Chase Jacob Our John happy birthday 15th don’t party to hard ;-) Remembering our February angels 9th February Tony Steinmetz, 12th Jessie’s 1st anniversary in heaven 18th, Little Fletcher 1 year an angel, 24th Tammy 2years with Angel wings Fly high and free in heaven all of you 29th January 2007 A New Scool Year Today is the start of the new school year for most Aussie kids Many will be going for the very first time (Samantha ;-) Jacob would be starting year 11 this year he would be in the senior school And knowing Jake, he would already be counting down the days until graduation in 2008! This is the first year that I don’t have a child to organize for school.. No buying new uniforms, books pencils etc this year no one to sing my “It’s a school day” song to (sigh) (Ryan Graduated last year and doesn’t start his prevo course until late February) Jake was only well enough to go to high school a few times in grade 8, he loved it when he was there so different from primary school …he even had a girl friend by the end of the first week ;-) ;-) I think he would have thrived in high school he loved all the new classes that were available I wonder what his electives would have been … He wanted to become an “occupational therapist” for little kids in the hospital like “Leith” at the “Mater”. her Job was to “play “ with the kids, Leith and Jake did a lot of cooking (another thing Jake loved to do), there was another therapist at the royal he only saw a few times they played cards (which he won all the time I’m sure Jake could have been a card counter at the casino ;-) Jake was terrific at all types of card games I don’t know where he inherited that from as Jon and I never play cards (other than Uno ;-) He loved playing with the little kids so I think this would have been the perfect profession for him ( an occupational therapist” not card counter ;-) Though he did have a fascination with architecture one of his many hobbies was to go to display homes and check them out saying what he would have done differently …what colours he would have preferred where he would have had walls moved walls etc etc … ;-) Then again he could have been a profesonal Soccer (Star) player ;-) he was a very complicated child our Jake the possibilities were endless as to what he could have done with his life …..

I won’t go into why as it’s pretty gross ;-)) he woke up one morning and asked for “Lobster like Mum has on her Birthday” Jon almost flew to the fish mongers shop but at the time the Lobsters were way to expensive(and the Dr had said No!….. ;-( Finally Jake was able to come home and eat “real food” ..So that night Jon cooked him his Lobster morney …… Jake was almost drooling as were the rest of us as Jon gave him his meal Jake took one bite and said it didn’t taste right….. I had a bite it was perfect …Jake insisted it wasn’t right he was so disappointed (as was Jon ) we hadn’t thought of the fact that Chemo changes your taste buds so food he had always loved never seemed to taste the way he remembered Though he did (struggle) through his lobster (he always had expensive taste our Jake takes after his Dad that way ;-) Be good stay healthy Happy Birthday 15th to Taletha have a happy 19th Birthday 25th Tara don’t party too hard kiddo Prayers that Joseph's biopsy comes back clear Friday, January 5 wednesday 10th, 2007 6:56 AM CST Eagle Angel and Jake’s earn Congratulations Joseph Congratulations Joseph (little bob the builder) 100 days since his bone marrow transplant Joseph has had a hard road since his transplant but he has made 100 days Leukaemia free and that’s fantastic Keep kicking leukemia’s butt Bob the builder Happy Birthday to my Mum 8th January and my niece Tara 25th January hope you both have a wonderful day Remembering Jayden 3years an Angel Remembering little Leo 2 years an Angel Love doesn’t end with dying Or leave with the last breath For someone you have loved deeply Love doesn’t end with death Fly high on your Angel wings Click here to go back to the main page.
