Perhaps in time he'll be able to focus on the fact that he had a terrific best friend who he got into mischief with and remember things more with fondness than with sadness. I don't think the sadness will ever completely go away, but hopefully the ratio will shift.<br /><br />Praying for Jake and for you all!<br />(((HUGS)))Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342055265414788942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2567587326103602721.post-7718424939855640532010-04-28T20:53:15.051-02:302010-04-28T20:53:15.051-02:30How sad, I am so sorry you are both in my prayers....How sad, I am so sorry you are both in my prayers.Twisted Cinderellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273548648344779210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2567587326103602721.post-64989624693516434862010-04-28T16:53:36.446-02:302010-04-28T16:53:36.446-02:30Thanks, Dominique.

That has to be one of the most difficult challenges for us humans - the loss of those we love.<br /><br />The pictures definitely tell the story. <br /><br />I found with my daughter that one of the best things I could do as her mom was just to let her talk. Some times having someone listen is more therapeutics than anything else.<br /><br />I know for me, talking is how I process things. <br /><br />I will be praying for Jake today...and for you!Dominiquehttp://www.4wallsandaview.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2567587326103602721.post-32864057100962349002010-04-28T13:39:15.992-02:302010-04-28T13:39:15.992-02:30Thanks, Becky.

The worst thing we can ever do is forget the ones that have gone on. Maybe Jake can get past the bad thoughts and remember the good thoughts and celebrate the good times they had. Looks like they had fun. And he will have fun with new friends and make new friends as he grows up. He is to cool of a little guy not to be surrounded by lots of friends. If I wasn't 2553 miles (I think) away I would give him and you a hug!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03012286492296811729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2567587326103602721.post-14345181386366652812010-04-28T11:35:40.921-02:302010-04-28T11:35:40.921-02:30Hi Linda

I have some understanding of what Jake has felt ~ I was 7 when my dad died, and even though I never felt it was my fault, I have always needed to be prepared and control what comes into my life..no surprises....and anything medical stresses me. ( I best get over that now, right?!) I am sharing this because I know in my adult head that this is not reasonable...or logical...but in the 7 yr old emotional part of me, it makes alot of sense. I am not sure those emotional blockages are easy to get past. You can certainly see that you all have done all you can to help Jake through the process. He is blessed to have you all there for him. My thoughts and prayers are wtih you.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089685282700680525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2567587326103602721.post-47630316897943032112010-04-28T10:39:29.071-02:302010-04-28T10:39:29.071-02:30Thanks, Molytail.

We've even tried explaining to him, many people who we don't know also get cancer...so it can possibly be him. He can sort of accept that...but it seemed after he thought about it....he was back to thinking it was his fault.<br /><br />He hasn't mentioned this for a few months though...so I'm *hoping* he's past this.At Home on the Rock...https://www.blogger.com/profile/10321160489693435917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2567587326103602721.post-68452014380315831262010-04-28T10:14:49.592-02:302010-04-28T10:14:49.592-02:30Oh wow.

Those last two photos, one right after the other... :-(<br /><br />I can understand it being a hard date for Jake... so sad that he seems to think he 'caused' it though... <br /><br />Hmm. Does he know/understand about normal cell growth vs cancerous cell growth? Just thinking, if he understood the *physical* changes that occur when a person has cancer, maybe he'd realize that he couldn't *cause* it...?Molytailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990389309037847365noreply@blogger.com
