OOC:

I appreciate everyone's well wishes and did not want to delete this post, so I am posting it for posterity.

I have always felt the Hawaii crew is like a family and I am thankful for our interactions with our characters that we bring to life through our writing.

I look forward to the many adventures ahead of us! I cannot thank you enough for your patience and tremendous support during these times.

For Jacob...


Well Boss, this is tough.
Was so sorry to hear your Mother had passed.
I lost my father two years ago. I know how bad it hurts.
But they are never really gone, we are our parents, they created and raised us, they are within us and always will be.
I smile now and then when I catch myself saying a phrase my dad used or I touch something that was his.
I was so proud when my sister told me once that I reminded her of dad.
The loss is always there, but it gets better, the pain goes, it changes, becomes strength, love and affection that is always there and always good to feel inside when you think of them.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hey captain,
This is the first I heard of this. I am so sorry for your loss. I still have both my parents, but I lost both my grandfathers in two years time. And either way a loss is hard. Specially when you have so many memories together. So many special memories.
When my great grandfather died I found a card which I intended to give my grandmother. It had such an inspiring text on it.
Translated it said: "When you die you are not lost, you come home."

It is my hope and my believe that one day you will see her again in an afterlife you can be together for eternity. It doesn't take the pain away completely, I still remember my grandfather who died back in 2013 and I am still sad sometimes.

I wish and pray you and your family the strength you need through this time.

I'm sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how you feel. I am praying for you.

Dear Beeman, Jacob,
I have no idea what you must be going through. If it's like the lost and confusion I had when my grandmother and grandfather died. I can relate. I know you are an amazing person who has been a great comfort to us. If you need anything or even a shoulder to vent at we're here for you.

My deepest sympathy and well wishes for you and your family.

Hey Cap,

I lot my Dad a few years back and everytime I go see my Mum , I still see him sitting in his chair and give him a nod, it will be hard I know, but the love you have shaired is still there and know that she is watching over you still.

At this time you are in my prayers

Hey Jacob,

Yeah, I'm not good at these. I've never lost the one who brought me into this world before. I have lost my dad, and a maternal grandfather, as well as two very very close loved ones. I hope your father is still with you and you two are close in order to help each other through this. Even if not, I hope you have siblings and/or other family to surround yourself with. If you ever need anyone else, I'd be glad to lend a sympathetic ear.

I know you may be hearing this a lot these past few days, but it's OKAY to grieve, and don't let anyone tell you HOW to grieve, or how long. Grief is a very personal thing, and whatever is your way, that's OKAY. Just don't stuff it down and hold it in. Men are ALLOWED to cry too. I know you don't really know me, but if no one else's done it, I give you permission to cry.... or not. U do U.

Love ya, brother,
P. J.

Well seeing everyone doing it, I guess I do so now too.

Yo Jacob,

I know I said my words in facebook and in private to you, but I can't really compare my losses with what you got to carry right now. To be fair, my father passed away earlier this year and the man never was in my life. But if I had to consider the same position was my mother. I seriously would not know what I would do.

So only a small % of what I can imagine of what you are going through and still you keep your chin up and go to your classes. Respect mate, I am certain your mother is very proud of you and what you all have achieved. Know you are always welcome to poke me in private if you need to chat.

Much support to you and your family in these difficult times.

I'm not always the best with words but I'm still sorry to hear what has happened to you and your family. I can't say I know what you are going through since I've never really lost a close family member but my sympathy goes out to you my friend.

I can't pretend to know just what you're going through right now, I imagine it must be difficult, the people we share our lives with can leave a terrible void behind when they become absent. The wonderful thing about the love we share with the people in our lives is that it persists though. Love carries on beyond the veil of death, it fortifies and sustains us, it reverberates out into the world through our actions. It remains real even as the world changes around us, and can help us go on and continue to weave the tapestries of our lives.

Thoughts and prayers are being sent your way to you and your family during these times. I know it doesn't really help what you're going through, but just know that everyone on the Hawaii is here for you. If you need to chat or talk, someone is always available, just know you're not alone.

Hey Jacob,

I'm not a sort for prayers and I've never been where you are right now. So I have little of experienced advice, or much more than my sympathies and my best wishes. Let the people you love in, because we don't have to face things alone. Being strong is accepting our feelings and letting people help. You worry about yourself, we'll worry about the game, and we'll be here when you come back or if you need us.
