September 10th

Ten years ago today my cousin Jake went to go be with Jesus in heaven.

Though I never had the privilege of really knowing Jake, I feel as if I have known him forever. 

I was nine years old when Jake had enough of fighting cancer. 

I remember hearing he had passed away very clearly in my mind. 

His funeral was the biggest funeral I attended and the first funeral I had bawled my eyes out at. 

Ever since Jake went to be in heaven, I have felt so close to him.

I ask for Jake's intercession as I pray for my healing and the healing of others. 

This may sound crazy since I've never even spoken with Jake on earth... 

But now that he is with Jesus, I talk and talk and talk with him. 

Jake, you are missed. 

You touched so many lives, even the lives you didn't know. 

Remember to send your momma a rainbow... ;)

With that I am sharing this video from one of our favorite Touched by an Angel episodes. 

The song makes me think of you, Jake. 

Love you.
