Update on Jacob
I haven't heard anything recently regarding the Jacob situation. Knowing his dad, he probably won't ever mention it again, outside his family. It took him about a month to get back to talking with my father, and now they're talking regularly again, but Jacob is never brought up. It's too painful, I'm sure.
I was thinking about the situation this morning when I got out of the shower, namely because I took pictures of the neighborhood when we went to the funeral and I've been meaning to share them with my aunt out of state. Imagine my surprise when I hear his name on the news as I'm getting dressed. They've finally labeled his death a homicide. I'm not entirely sure why it's taken so long--it should have been clear cut. This wasn't simply an accident. He certainly didn't beat himself to death. I guess this is a step in the right direction, but we're still waiting on suspects and charges and what have you. These things take so long, if they're ever resolved. I hope there's a resolution. I hope his family finds answers.
