Jacob's best friend was a stuffed kitty he named, Mr Puddles. Mr Puddles was a big part of Jacob’s short childhood and cancer journey. Jacob was really attached to him and took him everywhere. Mr Puddles continues to be part of our lives as we try to incorporate him on events and our DIPG Journey as Bereavement parents. He is our way to keep Jacob alive in our memories and thoughts.
