Jacob Michael Scott McLeod-Steinmetz was born on the 17th of June 1991at 6:00am at the Wagga Wagga Base hospital Wagga Wagga NSW Australia
Weighing a healthy 8pounds 9oz.jacob made his way into the world in a hurry and that is they way he was from that day on, in a hurry to do as much as he could. He walked early, could ride a bike when most kids are still on tricycles.
He had many loves in his life his family, Soccer, all the lord of the rings movies, his animals. Our Jacob never did things by 1/2s, if he loved you, he loved you with every beat of his heart. He played soccer as if every game was a grand final, win or lose he came off the field with a smile he just loved to play. Rain, hail or shine he was out there kicking the soccer ball with his brother Ryan.
Those of you who know our Jake know how fanatical he was on anything to do with "Lord of the rings' his room is covered with anything to do with the movies even taking down all of his trophies, ribbons and medallions to make room for his posters;-). our Dogs, cats and fish were his pride and joy he is a very gentle kid. But all boy ;-)
When Jacob was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid leukaemia on the 1st of November 2003. Our world was sent into a spin the rest of us fell apart but not Jake he took it all as an adventure he was determent to fight and fight he did,
He had set back after set back he was unable to finish his rounds of chemo due to a fungus (Aspergilus) that almost took his life how he fought!..6 months of remission gall stones, almost loosing his eye. he fought. never once asking why me?? he relapsed in September 2004, again he fought. He had a Bone marrow transplant in November 2004 every thing seemed to be ok until his 93 day L.P and BMA (February)it showed that the leukaemia was back. we were told to go home and make arrangements. When we told Jacob that he was going to die, he! Was more concerned about his brothers and sister then himself. Jacob was determent to live each and every day to the fullest and he did for four more months. he defied the doctors(they wanted his to roll over and give up)and kept fighting until finally the damage the medications had done to his liver and the leukaemia was to much for his body to fight anymore
Our Jacob died at home in his own bed as far away from the hospital environment we could get him,
1 day before his 14th birthday,at 5:o8pm Thursday the 16th June 2005
Jacob has left us with the knowledge that true courage and strength exists that there is joy in the smallest of things and his smile could light up a room. Jacob truly is a hero in so many ways he wasn't beaten by the leukaemia or by the doctors he kept his sense of humor his love of life and neither of them could take that from him .we are proud to say we knew and loved him .
Jacob passed away at Home Brisbane Queensland Australia
E-so marble top,
As such, pure white
You've locked in your city
Leaving us behind you, just the shadow ...
Also looking for a year right keys,
It can penetrate the mystery of the tomb
It hurts, but not a word out,
For U.S., every year, does not open ...
Kneel on the marble wilderness
Cry and pray and I always ask for forgiveness
Silence under the marble hurt,
Thought to descend from you, invite me.
It's quiet in the cemetery, and the prince crosses
Privisc how sad and Sunset,
I do not find any purpose in the world today
Because we have left in the house that two Cuckoo ...
Lacrimand near you go again
No questions today did not you answer
The hurt, the mourning soul and killed
And wait to get back to you tomorrow!
They say memories are golden, maybe that is true.
I never wanted a memory
If my love could have saved you, you never have died.
In life I loved, in death I love you still In my heart occupies a place that no one will never fill it,
If tears could build a staircase and the pain would make a lane,
I would go to heaven and I would bring back
Our family chain is broken, and nothing will ever be the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will recover again.
Hi, I read the story of Jacob Caringbridge site, I can only say that I'm so sorry for our children, I can not accept the loss of Michael, thinking about it every second of my life, and Jacob was a boy so beautiful and seemed so good and quiet, I'm really sorry, I have no words to express how I feel but I'm sure you understand.
Do not tell me
Please do not tell me that you know how I feel,
If you have lost your child d
Please do not tell me that my broken heart will heal,
Because it is not true,
Please do not tell me that my son is in a better place
While it is true, I want him here with me
Do not tell me that someday I will hear his voice, I see his face,
Beyond today I can not see
Do not tell me it is time to move on,
Because I can not
Do not tell me to accept that he is gone,
Because denial is something I can not stop
Do not tell me to be grateful for the time I had
Because I wanted more
Do not tell me that I'll just come back
I will not be as I was before,
What can you tell me is that he will be here with me
I listen when I speak of my child,
You can share precious memories with me,
You can complain even with me for a while
And please do not hesitate to say his name,
Because time is something you hear everyday
Friends please realize that I will not never be the same.
I always wondered, why does God allow such suffering? If there is a God, then why allow a disease so severe in young children? Why would God allow a great lover of people so much suffering and pain on earth? So it seems to me? Am I that bad a person? What's wrong merit such misfortune?
O mama indurerata
Every day of my life is my trista.Inima pain is broken and will remain so mereu.Oamenii ask me, how are you?. I really do not know what my raspund.Viata is so empty, our family will not be never as it was when you were and you, angel meu.Am a hole in my heart, a part of me died and are filled with sadness my ea.Zilele and my child will take years lacrimi.Amintirile by his voice sound and his smile is something that time can not sterge.Dumnezeu chose my child too early, you never know why?
"Remember Me"
(song by Deanna Edwards)
Remember me whenever you see a sunrise,
Remember me whenever you see a star,
Remember me whenever you see a rainbow
Or woods in autumn colors from afar.
Remember me whenever you see the roses
Or seagulls sailing high in a sky of blue.
Remember me whenever you see waves
Shining in the sun.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!
Remember me whenever you see a teardrop,
Or meadows still wet with the morning dew.
Remember me whenever you feel love
Growing in your heart.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!
Wot a very brave young man you were. Your now living with the angels n watchin over all your loved ones, A very special person you were, Bless u x
