My Family by Jacob; February, 2004
My mom is the best mom. My mom cooks the best meals in the world. My mom is very very loving to me. My mom takes care of me when I am sick. My mom is fun and she is funny. She gives me good kisses. She takes good care of me. My mom makes me happy. My mom gives me good hugs when I am really sad.
My brother shares things like my Nintendo 64. My brother goes swimming with me and then we go home. My brother is funny by beating himself up. My brother is brave. When I am scared, I hold him.
I like to play in the snow and I will throw snowballs at my brother. It's very funny when he throws one back at me and we make a fort out of snow. My favorite recipe is a snow cone. You need snow, flavor a cone and that's it. The End
The Story behind the Stories
When Jake was three, he was diagnosed with a nasal encephalocoele which required brain surgery. Ever since then, he has struggled to catch up academically, but his heart is one of the purest I have ever known. Because his brain didn't process well, he never learned stranger anxiety and most of the time doesn't fear anything. I started these as a way to remember all the things he says and does that are so very different from my other children. The aftermath of that brain surgery has been ADD and epilepsy, which he has also taken in stride. He is a joy most of the time, I only wish people could appreciate his uniqueness and spirit, rather than wanting him to fit into a mold.
