I have made a decision which, in some respects, is quite difficult. I have decided not to continue my memory blog as many of the topics are starting to become repetitive with regards to memories of my beautiful boy.
I do plan to go back and edit some of my anniesMemoryaday blogs as I have thought of additions for some and have decided to add more photos to others.
The blogging has been, very unexpectedly, the best therapy I could have had. I have had to dig deep into both my memory and my emotions at times. I have cried and laughed and worried and wondered as I wrote my words. But I know my memories will last forever and I'm glad you all got to know my boy a little better through my shared stories.
I won't stop blogging though, as I have found it to be a wonderful outlet. I will now start a new blog which will be about me and the people in my life. That will include Jake as he has been a part of my life for 20 years. So, my thoughts and notes about him will not disappear, they will just become a part of the story of 'us' instead of 'the story of Jake'.
Thanks for sharing my memories and for the many positive comments I received from you all.

"BUSY"
"Bit busy right now!"
That was your standard reply if we asked you to do anything around the house. This response was almost automatic and was even prevalent when you were sitting doing nothing on the computer or just zoning out with TV.
Eventually, you would usually do what we asked you to do but it was always in your own sweet time. I think you just liked to be in control.

"SELF PORTRAIT"
Your very first kinder painting hung on our playroom wall for several years. It was a self portrait and showed a very smiley-faced boy and his dog (Bran) under a tree.
It was actually made amazing by the fact that you hated painting because you didn't like getting your hands dirty. We kept that painting but I am not sure that I recall seeing it in the move to this house so it probably went the way of the white teddy bear...in the rubbish bin during one of your clean-outs!!
