I am very sad to say that my sweet Jake passed away last night. Yes, Jake is a cat. But I am sure some of you have lost a pet in your lifetime and it is so difficult. Jake was really my child, not my cat. It was sudden and he didn't suffer, yet it was very unexpected. So this is devastating. Just pray for me especially right now because this is just added stress for my pregnancy right at the end. I am trying to take care of myself for Emma's sake. I never could have imagined how hard this would be. This will be a big adjustment, especially now I will really be alone every 3rd night while Cory is gone. At least until Emma gets here. She is the only thing that could make this feel better right now, other than Jake being here.
I posted some recent pictures of my sweet Jake. The first is him playing with his Big Daddy (my dad). He always assumed this position, which was so funny. The second was him cuddling with Emma. I know he is a cat, but I really know he knew that Emma was in there. I wish he could have met her. The other two are just of him laying on the couch with me. This is what we did every night, especially when Daddy was at work. By 6:30 or 7:00, this is where we were until bedtime.
Thank you for loving us.

Hey, Holly.
Just read about Jake and I do know how you feel. We had Layla (our Beagle) for almost 5 years and a car hit her with me standing right beside her this past August right after Crew was born...with me still having pregancy hormones in me so you can imagine. I cried for 2 days straight and off and on several days after that when I would think about her. So, I feel your pain and sadness and will say a prayer for you today every time you come to mind! Take care of you and baby Emma!
Holly, I am so very sorry to hear about Jake. May you feel the strength and peace of having many people lifting you up in prayer. When we as Christians walk together our sorrows are divided and our joys multiplied. I will willingly shed tears to spare you from having to as you wait for Emma's arrival. Prayerfully, Tracy
