Hello Chanda and Brian. Glad you decided to share Lucas with everyone online. Thanks for continuing to share Jake's CB site. Although the activity has lessened, a lot of us still love the smile of the Jakester and be forever grateful for you sharing your lives. I have been recovering from a stroke since Aug 2010 but wanted you to know that a lot of us have not forgotten "the little man". All my best to you both, Lucas, and for a great 2013! /Bill

I just read your entire journal & cried. I grieved for your little boy although I had never heard of him before today. When I finished reading it, I went into my 5 yr old son's room & kissed him. One entry that you made was an eye opener for me. You mentioned how Jake would ask for you to go swing with him or watch tv and you were too busy to do so. I have found myself saying the exact same thing to my son, Nicholas. After reading your story, I will find the time to go play a game or watch cartoons with him. I cannot even begin to imagine what your family has gone through. I am however happy that you can enjoy parenthood once again. Thank you for sharing your story to the world.

Just stopping by to let you know I am thinking about you. I hope you are both getting some sleep with a new baby in the house. I also hope that you frequently get to see signs of Jake as you shower love on his little brother.

Chanda, some paperwork from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society came across my desk the other day and I noticed someone else's name on it. Are you a stay-at-home mom now?

Sending love and prayers to all three of you.

Although I am in Heaven now...
Its your heart I will always stay.
Just look for a sign and you will see me
In each sunrise...and each sunset too...

So, I'm sending all my love to you from Heaven today...
and remember I will be with you on Fathers Day...
I love you Daddy! From your angel in Heaven.

It’s hard for me to know what to say to my friends who have lost their child(ren), their mother or both. However, I refuse to ignore your pain and lack of words has never stopped me from letting people know how I feel so I will try to offer something to you from my heart. At my church, we have a long standing tradition (for those who wish to participate) of distributing different colors of roses to signify those who have their mothers here, those who do not and those who have lost children. The purpose is to signify that we realize that not everyone is rejoicing on Mother’s Day and to let those who are grieving know that they are being given extra consideration. Additionally, it reminds those who are joyful to be thankful for what they do have. Although you are not going to be in my church service physically, I wanted to let you know that I will be thinking of you when we recognize our grieving women. I always keep you in my heart. And during a time when the world can be rather insensitive to those who have lost people in their lives who make Mother’s Day most meaningful, I want to make a special effort to let you know that you are loved and not forgotten. HUGS!

You've never met me, I am a college student that stumbled upon Jacob's care page after reading about Dylan Hartung, and then Harrison, and now Jacob. Jacob's story and his incredible bravery touched me, and I wanted to let you know that your son is still impacting and inspiring complete strangers long after he's earned his angel wings. I really wish I could give to one of the many organizations you have listed, but sadly I am a poor college student so I will be donating platelets this Tuesday in Jacob's memory at Children's Hospital Boston. Please know that you and your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

You don't know me, but after reading some of your journal entries, I had to write. My daughter is six, and a little girl in her class has neuroblastoma. I found your website after doing some research on the disease.

I know that there's nothing I can say to ease your pain, but I wanted you to know that you have profoundly touched me. I too often tell my children I'm too busy to come see something, or to sit with them for just a few minutes. You've reminded me that nothing is more important than them. Nothing.

My heart goes out to you and your wife. May you find peace.

I have had you two on my mind this week and I wanted to stop by and say hello. I am so sorry to hear about gramma Brenda. I know that Jacob, patty and Brenda are having fun together and looking down on you two beautiful people! I miss you all very much and I wanted you to know that we never stop thinking of you or praying for you. Taylor still sleeps with his frog and dog that he always took to NYC and I can't look at them without thinking of Jacob and his animals.
Love always!!!

Not sure if you remember me, but I was JUST thinking about Jacob last night as I was taking care of a patient in 7927 and something made me think of you all and smile. You were and are truly inspiring. Now that I have my own children, 3 year old twin boys and a 15 month old daughter, your strength, faith and love for Jacob and each other has become a bit more clear and I admire you even more. May you continue to find peace and love. Nurse Courtney

Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
Kahlil Gibran

It's inconceivable the pain you two have been through.
I think of Jake often because I am a parent and I witnessed first hand the pain and agony that Brian went through. It's beyond my comprehension what it must of felt like to have the greatest joy you could ever imagine taken from you. I want you both to know that I prayed for Jake often and on more than one occasion asked the question to God, WHY? It's really great to read that your laughing again. If you're ever having any trouble finding something to smile about in the future think about the unconditional love you feel for Jake and how he so gently and innocently returned it. It's impossible to walk a mile in your shoes but I have gave your catastrophic loss a lot of thought and I've came up with this. If it we're possible to reverse time would you go back and bypass the pain? If you could choose that as an option and you chose to do so, it would result in bypassing the joy also. Your loss is tremendous but never confuse the loss with the love and the joy that little boy brought to you. A gift I believe you wouldn't trade for anything. I said it once before and I'll say it again, Jake was blessed with great parents!!! It's just a shame that you two will have to wait for heaven for him to personally thank you and hug you once again for what you done for him in his time of need.

Hey guys,
I just wanted to stop by and let you know that I am thinking of you. I am sorry that you are struggling so much. My dad's twin brother died in December, and I never imagined the pain until it hit. And the emotions are still so raw. Grief hits people so differently, and it is hard for others to understand, even those close to us, because our relationships with other people are so different.
I still think about Jacob all the time. I was packing up some stuff today and found one of my college writing journals. Insided was a poem I had written about Jacob. I stopped in my tracks and had tears in my eyes as I read it. This summer, I am going to volunteer at a retreat for cancer families, and it is another thing that Jacob inspired me to do. That boy of yours really did change my life.
Prayers for you always,

I was looking through some old video tapes the other day and found a tape with a short clip of Jake on it. You guys were at a flag football tournament Steve Nation and I put on at Southeast Middle School some time ago. I also have a few pictures on my computer of that day. I would like to be able to get the video footage and the pictures to you if you would like them. Feel free to contact me and I will gladly mail pictures to you on a CD and send a DVD copy of what I have. Its not much footage but it is footage of Jake.

Chanda and Brian,

It has been a while since I have checked in with you guys. I just read back through a lot of your journal history. So many things you said really hit home with me, as well. I can totally RELATE to the pain of losing your child, your only child. And, I understand your thoughts, Brian, on Heaven and Hell. You are so right. Living on this earth without your "reason for living", your precious child, truly is HELL.

As we all begin a new year, I will be checking back in with you. And I will be imagining MY CONNOR, hand in hand with YOUR JAKE, running around in Heaven, healthy and happy, and laughing. I'm sure they are wondering why the heck we are all so sad.....

With love and hugs,

Went to CMC with Brian today and I wasn't prepared for the emotions that followed.

The Lil Guy is all too present! I know that it's a tough day for the two of you, but I hope that you're able to celebrate! It should be a celebration, after all. On this day 7 years ago the world was given a GREAT person. One who was able to show many others that a lot of burdens are nothing more than trivialities; that life truly is too short; that 7 ate 9! ;)

You're both wonderful people and I love you both very much - in a totaly hetero way, B, jeez! Keep smilin!

Hey Guys,
Back again-I tried to call both numbers, but couldnt catch you. Wanted to let you know that the picture of Jake and I in the clinic was one of the ones chosen for the contest I was telling you about. It will travel to a national conference and then go on to the White House and eventually will be put on display in the new Children's Hospital. Will give you more details as I learn them. Just thought this might be a good day for you to know and they just called!

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear,
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here,
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card,
A card of love for my parents, as this day for them is hard,
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you can imagine,
except I could not find a card, from a child that lives in heaven,
they are still a parent too, no matter where I reside,
I had to leave, they understand, but oh the tears they cried,
I thought that if I wrote to you, that you would come to know,
that though I live in heaven now, I still love my parents so,
they talk with me, and dreams with me, we still share laughter too,
memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you can do?
my parents carry me in their heart, their tears they hide from sight,
they plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells,
they writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease there pain as well,
so you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth,
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth,
they need to be honored, and be remembered too,
just as the children of the earth will do,
thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you will do your best,
find a way to tell them, how much they mean to me,
until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.


I know Christmas must be so hard for you although I can't comprehend how difficult it must be.

All my love,

Viks

May our Lord bless you in a special way as another anniversary of Jacob's Homegoing casts its shadow before you. What a comfort to know that, while they are not by our side and we definitely miss their presence, they are safe, whole and rejoicing in ways we cannot even imagine in the presence of our Lord.

Hi Guys,
I have no words of wisdom, no comforting thoughts, no clever sayings and certainly no answers. I do know that you have helped ME beyond belief and I love you much for that and so many more reasons. I would not have made it this far without you in my life.
Thank you so much for everything.

Chanda & Brian,
I'm sorry about your loss. I ran across a picture that you had given me of Jacob from Halloween. He is in a cowboy costume and it is one of my favorite pictures! Every time I see a Thomas train or a Transformer I think of Jacob and I can hear him laughing and playing. Please know what an impact he made on my life. I miss him so much.

Chanda and Brian,
I'm sorry that I have not signed your guestbook in quite a while, you are still in my thoughts and prayers. I was devasted to hear about Pat; there is no question that Jake is showing her around heaven. Perhaps they are even playing hide and seek behind the clouds! I am missing Jacob very much these days... he will forever hold a place in my heart. Recently, I started volunteering at the children's hospital here in town; it is just another way I can keep Jake's legacy alive in my heart. I know I've told you before that Jake changed my life, and his memory continues to be a presence in who I've become. I will forever be thankful to you for sharing that sweet boy with me.
Love always,

We often think of yall on 7Tower and remember all the funny things that Jake would say or do. He was such a "Little" Man. I often think of the time when the heart doctor came to see him and as usual he made the doctor listen to Nu-Nuk(I can't spell) and the doctor was pretending to hear a heartbeat. Jake just looked at him like he was crazy and very matter-of-factly explained to the doctor that nu-nuk was a "stuffed animal" and didn't really have a heartbeat. He made us laugh and smile everyday. What a special boy!

I am always thinking of you 3! I sure wish we were sitting around chatting and drinking sweet tea. I know Jake is doing that now and loving every minute of it. Taylor alwasy had a blanket (night night) and a dog (bozo) that he carried around. He lost it this week and we have looked everywhere from under the bed to in the fridge. He could care less, but I am devastated. THat was his security for so long during so much, losing it is like losing a part of him. I don't know why I am writing all this.....
I am so glad to have known ya'll and so glad that you continue to share with us.

I know that he took some wonderful pictures with that camera!! He has such a personality!!!!!!!! Know that Jacob and you both are still touching the lives of others and will always continue to do so. I can imagine the jokes that Jacob is telling GOD and HIS ANGELS!!!! We love you and pray for you...

Chanda and Brian, we miss you guys and hope you are doing well. We visit this site often just to get glimpses of your awesome little guy. We love and miss Jake. We remember when you used to visit us in Concord and Scott used to chase him around our house and then our dog would give Jake kisses all over. It is hard sometimes when we look at our little boy to even think that something could happen and take the most precious thing in your life away. We could never imagine or understand your feelings of yours and Jakes battle. But we take great comfort in knowing that he is not in pain and happy. We would love to see you but don't have your numbers.
Please take care and know that we think of you often and love you both very much.

Hi Chanda and Brian, Mischief and new Puppy, It was been a long time sine we have touched base with you guys. We think about you and speak of you, and yes, of Jacob, more than you know. We were recently at the beach and our new great-great nephew, (20 months old) and his parents joined us for a few days. He played with Jake's fishing rod, he sat in Jake's chair....he played with Misty (Max wanted no part of it) and his parents heard a lot about Jacob. Jacob is still very real to us and will never be forgotten. His love and brillance touched us deeply. It will be so wonderful to see him again some day. I visualize him playing with the other children in heaven, smiling his special smile and laughing. Love, Bev, Bill, Max and Misty Girl

Alright Kids, I did my best, which wasn't quite good enough, but Team Vinson was happy with their 2nd place finish in the 3rd annual JAC tourney! Kudos go out to the Godstock crowd for another wonderful event. Keep those DFLs to yourself...well, don't be greedy you should share 'em with the family! The family that duffs together, stays together! :)

Just wanted to let you 2 know that you're very special people who continue to have an astounding impact on others through the activities you are involved with. The lil' man is more than alive in each of you, possibly more so than you realize!! Days like yesterday should serve to remind you that Jake, while certainly special to you, had quite an impact on others whom he met. I've told you before, and i'm sure that i will again, i've never met ANYONE quite as interesting as he still is. he's more intelligent at 4 than most of the people that i hang out with now!

That's incredible about the disposable camera - a nice suprise gift that the lil' guy left behind for you!!

Chanda and Brian,
I just had to tell you another Jake story. My boyfriend and I were in San Francisco over spring break a couple weeks ago, and as I often do, I had asked him a "deep" question. I can't remember exactly what it was, but all I know is that when my turn came, I was telling him all about Jake and how he had impacted my life. The weather that day had been quite dreary and for a brief moment, the rain had quit. As I continued to talk about Jacob, I glanced out of my window, and much to my surprise, was the most beautiful of rainbows! Chanda, you once told me that Jake would forever be around me, and I know he was showing me his presence as I told his story that morning! I was in such awe of the rainbow, I could barely speak. I guess what I am trying to say is that I will forever remember your sweet boy, and he will always be a part of my life.
Love always,
Haley

So while others are away, I just wanted to let you know how much "little man" Jake has and still does impact us. Enjoy the season.... the Jakester will no doubt catch some balloons and kites heading his way! Warm wishes and best regards. PS: is there anyway you can post the photo of him with his hands holding up his head back on the site. His smile is so full of joy.

Hi all.

I found your site about a month ago and was so touched by Jacob. My computer had to pick that moment to flake out and turn itself off. I have been looking for your site again ever since! Not only that, but praying for and thinking of you all too. I have a son who also has the great name of Jacob, and you all have inspired me to be a better Mom and live life to the fullest. I have also taken action to start something that I hope will be very meaningful to many families and it was in part inspired by your sweet angel! I'll tell you all about it shortly:o)

Made it back to the page today for the first time in a while. When I saw the bathtub Santa there was a moment where I could still see that crazy lil guy running up to my desk and asking to play hide 'n seek! Such a great young man!
I can only imagine what it's like to be in either of your shoes - the thoughts and emotions are undoubtedly even more prevalant this time of year, I'm sure. It most certainly doesn't seem like it's been 2 years since I last saw him...it just can't have been that long...
I've still got the Transformer that you gave me (sorry if you didn't know about that B...the lil' Mrs was lookin' out!) sitting on my dresser. I see it every morning as I'm getting ready for the day, and can't help but think how happy I am to have met the 3 of you. The lil' man was just that, a small version of what you are Brian - a decent, good man who sincerely cares about, and for, others. It's not that common these days, and it's needed more and more! I'd wager that it all came to Jake through the love and care that the two of you provided for him - he was, and still is, a product of the environment that the two of you create together. No finer a young man have I ever met, and I hope that the two of you are aware that you're as responsible as anyone or anything for making him who he was! You're both great examples, in my eyes, of what a parent should be!!!
Lil Man - I hope that you're still keepin things lite...telling some stories...keeping everyone in line...and most of all, making people smile!
B n' C - You guys are just awesome! I'll tell you both that you things are never going to be perfect. That isn't predicated on your situation, it's simply a fact of existence. Know that the two of you are responsible for raising a child to be a great young man. I only hope that one day I'm able to raise a child half as incredible!
Toodles, Kids!

Love the picture of Jake, Chandra and Brian you are in my thoughts and prayers. And as you said Brian you feel he's with you he is, he always will be. I've not lost a child but I lost my mother at age 12, and I'm 32 now and I still find myself talking to her and occasionally feel her around. You are a great DAD to your little boy and always will be. I hope you and Chandra have a blessed christmas and you are in my familys thoughts and prayers daily GOD BLESS YOU.

Chanda and Brian,
Praying for you today and everyday, but especially today. I love the picture of Santa Jake. What a cutie! I miss y'all so much. If you ever make it down to the Atlanta area, let me know. I'd love to see you.

Jakester,
I miss you today, more than ever before. It seems like just yesterday I was molding you into the perfect UGA fan. I still think of you every time I see those spongey animals and shapes in the stores. I'm sure you have lots of toys and games to keep you busy in heaven. Have a merry Christmas, little man, and happy early birthday.
Love always,
Haley

Just wanting you to know that I am thinking of and praying for you today a little more than usual. I cannot imagine how you must feel, but I do know that there are so many people who lift you up in prayer. Take care and know that I will always be one of those people who remembers you in prayer. Blessings in Christ.
