Just for today  / Tania Smythe (Mother)

 
Just for today, I will try to live through the next 24 hours...not expecting to get over my child's death, but learning to live with it... one day at a time.

Just for today, I'll remember my child's life, not his death, and bask in the comfort of the treasured days and moments we shared.

Just for today, I will forgive all the family and friends who didn't help or comfort me the way I needed them to. They truly did not know how.

Just for today, I will free myself from my self-inflicted burden of guilt. For deep in my heart, I know if there was anything in this world I could have done to save my child from death, I would have done it.

Just for today, I will honor my child's memory by doing something with another child, be it my own, or someone else's, because I know that would make my child proud.

Just for today, I will offer my hand in friendship to other bereaved parents, for I DO know how they feel.

Just for today, I will smile...no matter how much I hurt on the inside...for maybe if I smile a little, my heart will soften and I will begin to heal.

Just for today, I will accept that I did NOT die when my child did. My life did go on and I am the ONLY one who can make that life worthwhile again.

Tania and Darryl

I can't believe it has been two years since Jacob was born and I can't begin to imagine how hard it has been for you since Jacob's passing. After reading Jacob's trributes I snuck into to Kade's room and then in to Shelby's and watched them sleeping, and thought how I would have dealt with the death of one of my children - I don't think I could. I do not know how you find the strength to get out of bed each day. 
Those of us with children are so blessed. Congratulations on the birth of Anika, she is beautiful! I hope her arrival has at least mended a small part of your hearts.

Love and kisses to you all
Debbie, Tuha, Kade and Shelby Close

I Can Dream  / Lisa Coombs ((Aunty))


Remembering you today.

There's no fairy godmother
to make my wish come true.
No genie in a bottle to bring
me to you.
No prayer on a fallen star
No magic potion in a jar.
But I can dream and when I do.
I dream that I'm there with you.

Mommy's wish  / Tania Smythe (Mother)
If I could have just one wish
That simply would, could come true
I’d close my eyes and say out loud
I want more time with you

The time we had was much too small
The cuddles were too few
But Jacob my baby if I could have
Lots more time with you

I’d cuddle you oh so much
I’d sing and play with you
Then feed and bath and tuck you up
And say Goodnight, God Bless to you
Love Mummy xxxxxx

Missing you  / Lisa Coombs (Aunty)

Your little sister is so sweet and it saddens me knowing you will never meet her.

I see "you" when I look at Anika.


Love you always Jacob
Never far from our minds.

Candlelit heart  / Mommy And Daddy (Mum & Dad )
Somewhere across the winter world tonight
You will be hearing chimes that fill the air;
Christmas extends its all-enfolding light
Across the distance...something we can share.

You will be singing, just the same as I,
These familiar songs we know so well,
And you will see these same stars in your sky
And wish upon that brightest one that fell.

I shall remember you and trim my tree,
One shining star upon the topmost bough;
I will hang wreaths of faith that all may see --
Tonight I glimpse beyond the hear and now.

And all the time that we must be apart
I keep a candle in my heart.

Life goes on  / Tania Smythe (Mommy)

Life goes on
Or so I've heard it said
But little do they know It isn't that easy for some
It's time to move on
Or so I've heard it said
But how does a mother Move on
From the loss of their child
You have to get over it
Or so I've heard it say
But did they watch their baby die
Right before their eyes
Time will heal your pain
Or so I've heard it said
But my heart is still bleeding
Though it's been many months
Your child is in a better place
Or so I've heard it said
Though I know this is true
It doesn't take away my pain
your angel wouldn't want you to cry
Or so I've heard it said
But how does a mother stop the tears
When she can't be with her own child
You can always have more children
Or so I've heard it said
But even it I did
They would never replace my one and only son
I know some mean well But they have no idea
the pain a mother feels
When her child is taken from her
And she never even got any goodbyes

I will always remember.  / Mason Beale (oldest cousin )

I will always remember my little cousin jacob who died at 8 days old.

I will always remember his little copper hair.

I will always remember his little angle wings.

I will always remember his precious wee face each day.

I will always remember his little cloud he sits on all day.

I will always remember the sound of his little harp he plays at night.

I will always remember his star in the sky shining bright.

You will always be in my heart jacob love your cousin mason.

Our darling wee nephew  / Lisa Coombs (Aunty)
This time last year was a very emotional time for us all and something I have stuggled to come to terms with all year. 
We wish with all our hearts that you could still be here with us. Just to have given you a cuddle at least once would have been something I would have treasured the rest of my life. I can't believe a whole year has gone by already it can at times still feel like it was yesterday and at other times it can seem like years ago. 

Summer and Willow still talk about you when they see your picture in a frame, they miss you too Jacob.

You have two wonderful sisters that love you dearly and five awesome cousins that would have loved watching you grow.
Your mummy and daddy were very sad today and miss you dearly!
We all miss and love you very much 
Forever in our hearts 
Our Angel Jacob
