I hate to be a Debbie Downer but today marks six months since our little guy passed away. I've been saying all along I hate to dwell on dates, but it happens anway.
However horrible the memories of that greusome day being our last memories with him, I'll never forget how his little hand would reach up and he would scratch my face over and over or try to pull off my mask with his pinky finger. His sweet smile when he'd whip his head around when he heard Lexi call out his name. He was a great little brother because he made her feel like the most amazing person he had ever seen. His little eyes would light up when anyone bounced him on his bed, but his love for his apple toy hanging down could never be matched! He would knocked that thing and send it flyin. He gave the best snuggles, just watch out for that G-J tube...she pops right out. My sweet boy loved snuggles.
I hate the 15th and 16th of every month. Thankfully the 17th comes and we keep on going. Cyd and I compromised about going out today instead of into Philly to the Please Touch Museum we are headed to the Wild Animal Kingdom at Six Flags. I'm hoping for a camel to come right up to the window and regurgitate his meal. That's always my favorite.
Thank you all for your continued support and love. It just keeps coming and it's wonderful. Unfortunately, the saddness never lets up either, so thank goodness for loving friends and family, but most of all for the people who got just as wrapped up in his story as I did. We all went through it together. I also thank the good Lord for my life and that I had 5 months and 25 days with Jacob Travis, the cutest little stinker in that whole darn NICU. Those people didn't know what hit them when those good looks rolled through the door.
I just really miss him.

I miss him too.
Thanks for the tribute to the Jake-meister. What a darling little boy!
It's amazing how much he means to all of us, and shoot--he was only here for a few months! That's impressive.
We're thinking of all you today. Love you!!
We love you so much. Have a blast on your outing.
My favorite memory of Jake is the day I met him I was able to give him a bath & then hold him! He changed our family forever and I am truly grateful for the time on Earth he had with us.
To my sister ~ I luv ya! Keep up the good work, you are doing wonderful and I couldn't be prouder of you!
I'm sending a BIG Hug from Utah for you guys!! We miss Jake so much as well, and we've been thinking about him a lot lately! He had the cutest smile and I'll never forget how he made me feel! It was such a blessing to have known him! We love you guys! Hope you have a great day at the zoo.
Nice trip down memory lane Jenn! Thank goodness for the sweet memories. What a beautiful little boy. He sure was a nice snuggler, but what I remember most is cradling his head with my hand and feeling that warm little fuzzy head because that's all we could do for a long time. I miss him. I'm thankful for him.
What a hard thing to miss someone so perfect. I'm thinking of you.
What a boy!! You're an amazing mother! Thank you for sharing this sweet baby with us. I think of his 'can do' spirit with admiration and dedication. I will do what is right to see him again.
Good luck with your healing and please know I think of you and your couragous family often. Love, Stace
