Jacob's Day
Yesterday was hard
but we tried to make it a celebration of Jacob's life and do things that would have made him happy.
Our "presents for Jacob" this year was a cart filled with animal supplies for the Humane Society.
Jacob loved animals and adopted his own cat, Skippy, from this same Humane Society two years ago, so I know he would be happy with this choice.
Carrying the supplies into the shelter:
We also ate at KFC (one of his favorites), had some cupcakes, handed several little baggies of coins with his card throughout town for others to find (pop machine, car wash, etc.). We lit sparklers (the same boxes that we lit with Jacob last year), wrote messages on balloons and sent them into the sky, watched Star Wars.
And we missed him terribly.
And we missed him terribly.

ReplyDeleteI cannot even imagine or grasp your pain...but I was truly touched by how you celebrated your son's memory in so many Special Ways. I am sure he was looking down...cheering and loving every special moment you created.
