Four memories of Morgen N. Jacobs

“

As Morgen's sister, I miss him everyday, and would like nothing more than to see him smile one more time, and to tell him I'm so proud. I love and miss you with all my heart, brother. I'll be seeing you again one day though.

I would also like to point out, that while Michael Cummings, who commented on this, was Morgen's biological father, he had no substantial influence on the man my brother became. To say "Todd is his step father, but also a very important person in Morgen's [life]" is an understatement. My father, Todd, was considered a real father to Morgen (who changed his last name after him and even called him 'dad') and deserves to be recognized as more than "a very important person". Todd Jacobs IS Morgen's father; Michael is little more than a name on a birth certificate; Mike, you know this too, I don't know why you pretend like it isn't.
