Jake, Always Loved and Missed until we meet again

Im sure you wil all remember that shortly before amy was born i moved jakes stuff from the spare room wardrobe to mine, and it really upset me.

Well yesterday i had to move his picture from my living room to my bedroom, simply to save my sanity and im heartbroken because of it.

When josh looks at a picture of himself he says baby and points to himself, when he sees a pic of amy he says baby and points to her. He suddenly started taking an interest in jakes picture, he was saying baby, looking around and then saying no baby. the first time he did it it sort of made me smile because he realised that Jake wasnt him or amy. but this carried on all day and listening to him saying no baby was tearing me apart. so while he took a nap last night i took the picture away from the living room and up to my bedroom. i know it doesnt matter were it is but actually lifting it and moving it just made me feel like im shoving him aside again. I didnt want to do it but i cant make josh understand that he isnt here. he just keeps looking for him

im having one of those days today where i just feel powerless to change anything that makes me unhappy. i feel a bit lost. i have been snappy with josh just because i dont know how to deal with all the emotions i feel.

Mel i know its so hard especially when Josh is that too little to understand whats going on. The main thing is your keeping Jakes memory alive and he's always with you.

Its mad how clever children are really....dont feel bad for moving the photo, ur not moving little one out, if anything closer to u being in ur bedroom :-) he'd understand, he wouldnt want his mummy to be upset  kis

awww bless hun i can feel the hurt just by putting myself in that position and i think you have done the right thing. Jake is still in a special place and then when Josh is old enough to understand you can put it back in the lounge.

love cheryl xx  kis
