Default Re: My Amazing Nephew - Jacob Tyree

You know, as I think about Jacob, he reminds me of another young man I had the pleasure to meet a few years ago during my stint as a Scout Leader. I'll save the story for another time but to summarize, his outlook on life given the challenge he faced was inspirational. Makes our daily 'bumps in the road' seem pretty insignificant. And the strange part: his name is Jacob too.

So John, to your nephew, and to all the Jacobs out there, my respect and admiration. We should all take a lesson here.
