Something amazing happened. Jakub was born. I had the name Jacob Evan at least 7 years before he was born. I had been working on a story that had this guy Jake and his buddy, Derrick Robert Sims (Hah)-a story of friendship and life. Well, 7 years late on July 7, 2003, we were blessed with this tiny little infant that weighed less than a small bag of sugar.
Today, we're still blessed. He's growing and sensitive and creative and funny. He has good manners, knows and says his prayers, and for the most part, is good to his little brother, Jack.
I'm super proud of Jake. I remember having a moment with just him and me, sitting quietly as he was a freshly born little living being. I was holding him one morning, about 7 am or so. I looked into his eyes and just started crying. I could not believe that I had created this person, that he was mine.
I'm so proud of Jake. He's a good boy and my buddy. I'm grateful to my wife and my kids. Today, I still say my two kids are the greatest accomplishments of my life.
I love you, buddy!
