You showed how determined you were to stay with us.
What strength, what courage you fought with all your might.
The time you were given Jake, was so very short. You never got to hold that rod. You never rode that bike. You never wo that swimming race, or held that trophy tight. Jake- to all who knew you, you were a champion in their sight. With everyday I fought with you, hoping that you'd stay.
With tears I called to God to hear us and this is what he said. 'My precious boy, your job on earth is done and although your family loves you child, my hope for you is here. Thank you, Jake, for showing me what a real champion is. I will love you everyday my precious little man.
