Dear Diary
Another quick entry here as it's three am and I'm practically dead, the only reason I'm still up is because Jake, Mike, Jess and Kim are. They all miss mum, even if Jake won't show it, Jessica and Kim are cuddling up to each other whilst Mike is glued to his blanket. Ok a blanket you may think, but what you have to understand is that when Mike was born he was premature and they didn't think he'd make it. This blanket was the last thing that Grandma Baker stitched before she died, during Mum's pregnancy with Mike she grew gravely ill and was admitted to hospital. Mum said that she had wanted to see her newest grandson before she died and some people think that's the reason she held on for along as she did.
During her hospital days even with frail weak hands and immense chest pains she stitched that cream blanket. Mike stopped breathing for about 20 seconds before luckily coming back too. He did this regularly for more of the next week, he was eventually allowed to go and see Grandma Baker and she was apparently the happiest she'd been in months. She gave him the blanket and from then on somehow the breathing stops, stopped and he was fine, mum calls in the miracle blanket. Grandma Baker unfortunately died when Mike turned two months old, but the blanket he's always kept.
Meanwhile Jake makes out like he's fine, he prefers to act all cool and fine but deep down we know that he misses her too. I tried to talk to him about it earlier though he just shrugged it off, so I decided best not to push. Well anyway since I started writing this entry I believe Jessica and Mike have fallen asleep, Kim is semi conscious and Jake well I can't really see as he's leaning against the wall with his beanie covered half of his face.
That's all for now
