Jake's life

[iadmirejb]

This little boy os my inspiration im in love with this family, bless your hearts!

[mcgavit]

I saw this episode when it aired. I recorded it on my dvr and watched it a few times. There's something very special about this boy. From the moment I saw his eyes and smile, I was touched deep within my soul. I can see his spirit, and I can tell it's special. God bless you, Jake! I wish I had the honor of knowing you in person. You are loved more than you know, even by strangers.

Amazing! I'm truely touched and blessed even watching Jake on extreme makeover all the way in Singapore! How he smiles through life difficulties and laugh it off is very encouraging! He's certainly a little boy that I'm sure is a blessing and will continue blessing whoever sees him! He's someone who's touched and has a place in my heart! Thanks for sharing his life with us! God is indeed awesome!

[Anne2597]

jake is amazing, most of us, when we don't get what we want,we whine, he experiences pain everyday, yet he smiles and lives a happy life...he is a great role model

[emmplu]

God bless this family for their selflesness. It's just amazing how the big brothers love him and play with and protect him. I want to have that family's selfless love.

[potteredwards]

You & your husband have raised amazing kids. Jake is an adorable little boy with an amazing outlook on life despite his challenges...with a great support system. I enjoy hearing Jake laugh the most :)

[ssunitaali]

jake is such an addorable kid

[14Waverider14]

Jake is an adorable little boy so full of love and life....When I was watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition i kept hearing him laugh and I got to say that's one laugh i'll never forget. For someone dealt with such hardships in life and to still have a smile on his face I mean it just shows he's got what it takes.

[tysonplate12345]

I have the same disease. jakes a great kid.

[sjwht]

Jake is the cutest little boy...he has such a great positive outlook on life!!

[HELLAhandsomeKRiiS]

[wright9342]

A lot of us complain and moan for such stupid things. This kid has every reason to do that, instead, he smiles and deals with it :o)

way to go kid, keep smiling.

[oliverovsky]

[mysterytwins]

how old is he!!!!!!

[grysmom]

he is now 8 years old. This video is a little over a year old.

[mysterytwins]

so in the vedio hes 7?

[grysmom]

Well, the photos are thoughout his life, the ones when he was 7 are some like the power ranger outfit, wheelchair photos, in the pool, you can tell he is older by his face. He stays about the same size since 4yrs old.

[mysterytwins]

wow, thats amazing

[kingtourism]

@grysmom I think Jake is the cutest little guy I've ever seen. His spirit is something to behold. I am in total awe.

[yusufkoshin]

he very cute and i hope the best

xx

[lizrolyat]

My daughter has OI and Jake and her look so similar. It's amazing how kids with OI have such a similar look. He's gorgeous.

[filujo479800]

He has such a great smile. Makes me want to giggle.

[Bellaella86]

Such a Beautiful Little Angel! God Bless

[chezal568]

[claublank]

[SadieDammit]

Beautiful

[AlexisBrighton]

OH gosh i went and made a fool of myself. I thought from seeing the post about someone crying you had lost him. I'm glad ya'll are doing well! I'm going to stop putting my foot in my mouth

[AlexisBrighton]

Hi there, my name is alexis and I went to the convention in omaha a couple of years ago. My brother has OI and I distinctly remember jake. I am so sorry for your loss. I still tell stories about his amazing personality to people, and that is the truth. He touched my life and countless others.

[maineski99]

Oh my what a beautiful angel. God bless him

[liznot]

Hi im a mother from Indonesia...bless jake and his family...much love from God :-)

I'm proud to be your friends grysmom :-)

Praise the Lord...you're so lucky...God love's never end :-) Merry Christmast.

[winta75]

God bless him and his familiy

[pueypatty]

I don't have much words, I am crying like a mother who has lost her child. It hurts so much to see such a little angel, so full of life and so strong, I feel so ashamed for complaining about daily life in general. He was so loved and it clearly shows through his brave smile.

[moi10]

me too!!

[brittlegirl94]

Me three.

[wheelchairboii34]

I have OI too

[dittyedith]

haaii ik heb ook osteogenesis imperfecta

[Stoopudjurcee1]

Oh, is this that brittle bone disease. Yeah, I heard about a medication on the Health Channel that this boy took with the same disorder and it strengthened his bones, but I don't remember the episode. If I find out, I'll send a message back. He seems happy and quite lucky to have you adopt him. (yeah... I can have a NICE side, despite all of the negative comments I receive.)

[ozperu]

"I am everything I am, because you love me!!!!!!" God bless your family. You can see love everywhere

[houtakiboy]

Im in tears, what a beautiful, courageous little boy. He is a true gift from Heaven.

[daisynubia]

Though i might not know wat the disorder is all about and wat causes it but am glad dat little boy is surrounded by pple who love him so much.God bless him

[rynlds5]

He is truely a blessing, it is the love that surrounds him that makes him strong, you can just feel that from the video. May God Bless you all

Sending hugs, love, and prayers, from Springfield Illinois

[midgetandthemoo]

Wow that's one amazing kid. I have OI too and every conference I go to with the BBS, I always find that it's those who have it the worst that have the biggest smiles! He's an inspiration.

[grysmom]

We really appreciate the support of our 'OI family'!!! You know with this disorder, sometimes you feel alone. It is great to hear from others that truely understand Jake's Life.

[brockl3snar]

wat is the song/?

[grysmom]

The song Because You Loved Me by Celine Dion

[elatestscoop]

Your boy is cute. Feel his spiritual heart and you will hear him to be determined, brave and resourceful. I too have OI and I'm blessed to have a cute child. He will have lots to look forward to in life. He has an important message to share.

[Kirsuli]
