To those of you who’ve prayed, and asked, here are a recent article and broadcast piece on Jacob’s journey. He's doing great.
P.S. I can’t post this without urging parents who’ve found HSBBW since I stopped posting regularly to please, please hear my words: Don’t sweat the small stuff -- and remember: It's almost all small stuff.

Very inspirational. Thanks for the update and good luck to Jacob going forward.
Thank you sir for the update. I still pray for your family. We miss you around here on HSBBWeb.
Listen up everyone! Don't sweat the small stuff!
Helluva young man. May he continue to remain strong. God bless him + the family.
Good to hear from you and read about your son. Prayers to him, and to you.
My heart still breaks for the young man. I am proud of him that he is not playing the victim card and now looking to turn a life setback into a future victory. God bless him and your family.
JP, I send my best wishes to your son and entire family. I pray for success in whatever path your son chooses. I am certain that the strength he learned, and is still learning, will carry him far in life.
JP, so glad to hear he's doing great! Thanks for the update and the important message. We hope to see continued updates of JP's successes, whatever those may be.
Still praying for your family. What a wonderful young man. God Bless
JP, I've thought about Jacob and your family a lot over the last year. I'm so happy to hear the Gems welcomed him back this season. He is a very determined and grounded young man. That is a testament to his parents. Thank you for the update.
Because of your urging, my son now has a very good pair of ballistic sun glasses he wears in the outfield. They are worth every penny.
Please keep us periodically updated on Jacob's journey. I have no doubt that he will find the perfect path for his life.
Best wishes!
JP - Thanks for the update, and glad to hear he is doing what he loves. He's an impressive young man with a can't lose attitude. Best wishes and many prayers going forward.
I love his attitude, and I am rooting for him! Best of luck to him at his next stop.
By the way, your son was teammates with one of my son's former teammates at Oregon. He's a catcher, and he played travel ball with my son for years. It's a small world.
It's great to have an update. Just the other day I was wondering how he's doing. It is true a person's range of vision far exceeds the percentage of loss of vision. In the beginning I over compensated. I was afraid I was going to be hit by a car I didn't see stepping off the curb. Now I've adapted to the point I don't even think about my loss of vision. Your son seems to be doing fine withhis situation. With his attitude he will do well. Good luck.
Wow!!! just Wow!!!
Continued Prayers for Jacob and for you, FP and your family!!! RFF
Thanks for the update. Your son is a special individual determined and hopeful despite the adversity he faced. Continue the updates. Prayers remain with the family.
