My Diary
 
 
 
This coming Saturday, 25th April, would have been Jacob’s 7th birthday.    Our sadness is once more brought into sharp focus; a wonderful son, a life cut short, all the things that could have been..........

It only seems like yesterday when we celebrated Jacob’s 6th birthday. A day of laughter, joy and optimism, when hopes were high for a long and healthy life.

Jacob’s birthday will be difficult beyond words, but we will not let our pain taint this special day. Jacob continues to inspire us and we will celebrate his life and the precious time we were privileged to spend with him, as best we can.There will be a family gathering, a birthday cake and balloons will released at his grave.

Please spare a thought for Jacob on his birthday and take the time to remember him in your own special way. It will mean so much to us and to Jacob.

Below is the song, and video, I wrote for Jacob’s 6th birthday. We promised to sing this every year, so, this one’s for you Jacob, we love you more than ever.

Thank you

Anthony, Nicky and Ben.



The Best Day Of Your Life
Well look how far you’ve come
And look how much you’ve grown
You’ve been through so much
With not a single heart untouched

So blow out all those candles
And make your self a wish
And while your busy wishing
Remember this.....

Remember that we love you
Remember that we’re here
There’s noone else above you
We’re gonna sing this every year
Happy Birthday Jacob
Here’s a word from the wise
Happy Birthday Jacob
Have the best day of your life

Yes blow out all those candles
And let us watch you smile
Now open up your eyes
It’s all beginning in just a little while

Remember that we love you
Remember that we’re here
There’s no-one else above you
We’re gonna sing this every year
Happy Birthday Jacob
Here’s a word from the wise
Happy Birthday Jacob
Have the best day of your life
