After 30 hours of labor, Jakab came into this world
weighing 7 lbs, 13 oz and was 21 inches long.
He was perfect.
As I look back on my memories, I see a little boy full of imagination, energy and a zest to learn anything new and to have fun. I remember this boy who loved to draw and wanting to build roller coasters when he got older. He loved the Power Rangers and was always reenacting scenes from the movies and tv shows. I remember a boy interested in magic, so I made him a magician's cape. He had a box full of costumes and masks to help him use his imagination when he played. He would spend hours playing with those costumes.
I remember a boy who learned to love to read. His first love of books were the Harry Potter Books. He would be excited to read the next new book that came out. His love of books continued into middle school and high school and now college. He also loves scary movies. The scarier the better.
He started in Junior Football and flourished. He became known as "Big Show" and it carried thru high school. He loved the camaraderie of the team and was team captain his Senior year in high school. He also developed a taste for the arts. He was in a church play in middle school and then his Sophomore year in high school. He played Conrad Birdie in "Bye Bye Birdie".
He learned to play the guitar. He is well accomplished in this area. He loves all kinds of music but tends to lean toward the 70's and 80's Rock -n- Roll.

As I look back and remember all of these wonderful things, it just reminds me of just how blessed I am. The years have truly just evaporated and some memories seem just like yesterday. I was blessed on that 12th day of October to become a Mom for the first time. To hold that beautiful baby boy in my arms for the first time. To know that I had a responsibilty to that precious boy to raise him with values and morals and to be an honest, caring person. Some may find that a task hard to accomplish. I, however, did not. I accepted that honor with pleasure.
I look back now and realize that I, along with Jake, can't take all the credit for the kind of person Jakab has turned out to be. Jake and I simply layed the path. It was Jakab who had to walk it.
Today, Jakab, my handsome son, I am so proud and so blessed to be able to call you my Son. You are a giving, loving and honest individual. It has been a pleasure to watch you grow and flourish into the man you have become today. You always have a way to make me smile and laugh. I know that there are big things in your future. Continue on the path that you have started and stay true to yourself.
Thank you for making it easy to be your Mom.
I love you with all of my heart.
