i love you jacob - your my boy.. love, Daddy

O precious, tiny, sweet little jacob. You will always be to me. So perfect, pure, and innocent. Just as you were meant to be.
We dreamed of you and of your life. And all that it would be. We waited and longed for you to come and join our family.
We never had the chance to play. To laugh, to rock, to wiggle. We long to hold you, touch you now, and listen to you giggle.
I’ll always be your father, She’ll always be your mom. You will always be our child. The child we had. But now you’re gone...
but yet you’re here. We’ll sense you everywhere. You are our sorrow and our joy. There’s love in every tear. Just know our love goes deep and strong. We’ll forget you never--The child we had, And will have forever.

Jacob dotch glover...

Mommy & Daddy miss you baby jacob so much. Life has gone on but you have not been forgotten. I know your with us each and everyday no matter what we do. Please continue looking over your sisters Kate, Abby, and Madelyn as they have started a new school year. Today Madelyn started pre-school at Hillside UMC and she was so excited about starting school. She is such a strong minded little girl but I know she will need her little brother looking over her as well as Kate and Abby. Your our Guardian Angel jacob - always & forever. Love, Daddy & Mommy

Sometime in April

We just wanted to thank everyone for all the support you have given us over the past months. This has been really hard on everyone in our family. We have always told our kids that everyday is a new day and that is exactly how we are taking this situation with Jacob. This has been a learning experience that does not come with a hand book - down the road if you know of any grieving family or friends that may need someone to talk to please give them our contact information. In memory of Jacob dotch Glover - we would like to try to help in any way possible.

Jacob was to be born this month "Sometime in April" His memorial is scheduled to be finished by the end of the month to honor our sweet baby boy. Jacob's memorial is under a beautiful dogwood tree that is almost ready to bloom. We love you baby dotch.

Just Once

Just Once I wish I coud have spent a late hour rocking you in my arms here at home.
Just once I wish I could have gently laid you in your crib for a good night sleep.
I wish I could have changed your diaper, chosen your outfit for the day, lace up your hockey skates.
Just once I wish I could have heard you cry out in lonliness for me, spent time alone with you.
Just the two of us, ice skating together, teaching you how to shoot the puck.
Just once I wish I could have heard the words:
"What a beautiful, healthy baby boy!!"
Just Once.

I will always Love you Jacob - your my boy!

Love, Daddy

I'll Be There

Daddy please don't look so sad, momma please don't cry.
'Cause I'm in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies.
Please, try not to question God, don't think He is unkind.
Don't think He sent me to you, and then He changed His mind

You see, I am a special child, and I'm needed up above.
I'm the special gift you gave Him, the product of your love.
I'll always be there with you, and watch the sky at night.
Find the brightest star thats gleaming, that's my halo's brilliant light.

You'll see me in the morning frost, that mists your window pane.
That's me, in the summer showers, I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze, from a gentle wind that blows,
That's me, I'll be there, planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing and your heart feels a tug,
That's me, I'll be there, giving your heart a hug.
So daddy, please don't look so sad, and momma don't you cry,
I'm in the arms of Jesus, and He sings me lullabies.

Mommy & Daddy Love you Jacob!

An empty space where life once stirred
My eyes were not yet seeing
Where once my heartbeat shared a tone
With a small and fragile being

So scarcely formed yet still a life
A dream, a hope, a promise
Our plans were changed to now include
This new life thrust upon us

Then just as quickly as it came
Our dreams were gone away
The deepest pain I've ever felt
Our baby died today

With footprints left upon our hearts
He gently took his leave
We're left with nothing but regret
And only time to grieve

There was no service to be held
No mourning time required
No songs of longing and despair
No words to be inspired

We're simply told to bare the pain
"It's nature's way" they say
I can't forget our baby moved
Inside me yesterday

And with each word of sorrow
My teardrops fall like rain
The anger and resentment
Are mixed with guilt and pain

I look to Heaven for a sign
To help search out a course
Where love can teach acceptance
And eliminate remorse

My body will accept the truth
That now our baby's gone
But in our hearts our angel
everlastingly lives on.

JACOB dotch GLOVER

O precious, tiny, sweet little one
You will always be to me.
So perfect, pure, and innocent
Just as you were meant to be.
We dreamed of you and of your life
And all that it would be.
We waited and longed for you to come.
And join our family.
We never had the chance to play,
To laugh, to rock, to wiggle.
We long to hold you, touch you now
And listen to you giggle.
I'll always be your mother,
He'll always be your dad.
You will always be our child,
The child that we had.
But now you're gone...but yet you're here
We'll sense you everywhere.
You are our sorrow and our joy,
There's love in every tear.
Just know our love goes deep and strong
We'll forget you never--
The child we had, but never had
And yet will have forever!

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME...

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see, if the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things, we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready, in Heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.

In Loving Memory of Jacob dotch Glover / 12.27.05

Our precious little Jacob,
He could not stay long.
Enough to steal our hearts away
Then force us to be strong.
Enough to show us in a glimpse,
How wonderful life can be.
And how no wealth or worldly good,
Could take the place of Thee.
Little Angel in a cloud
Looking down upon his family.
Feeling forever proud
That for a time, however short,
He had the chance to be
Our Little Precious Jacob,
So Beautiful to see.

Until we meet again, may God
hold you in the palm of his hand.
We will always thank God for you.
