Hey everyone this is Dakota
I'm Jack's cousin. People don't realize the shit Jack's been through. It was just he and his mom in Salt Lake City until June, when his mom died of breast cancer. Everyone knew it was going to happen, including Jack, but when the end did come she died in Jack's arms in the ICU bed, and Jack started screaming and crying. It broke my heart. The little guy was totaled after that - I had to literally carry him out of the hospital in my own two hands. My dad agreed to take custody of him or he would have been an orphan, and we all live up here in montana on our ranch where we work and do home schooling for him. The first few months he did nothing but cry and he wouldn't leave my side for more than like 10 feet. Now, however, he's opening up a lot more and doing better - that is until he had his accident two weeks ago. He's a tough kid though and I love him more than anyone could possibly love anyone. He needs friends and I was hoping this site would have nice people that could care for and about him. I lose my mind when people talk down or are mean to him - I hope you all can understand. I wouldn't wish what he's been though on anyone as he's never even known his dad. Please be nice to him, ok?
Dakota, it is great that you are there for Jack. I hope he is doing well and getting settled. It is the kind of loss that never goes away.
Nothing but love ????
Dakota and Jack, this is the most caring community in the history of the Internet! We all support one another when times are good and when they are tough. I have heard it said, "It takes a village to raise a child." Make GBT your village! I echo the sentiments of all who have spoken here: We care! Dakota, you are awesome and a great role model for your cousin, Jack! Jack, I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I am 61 and lost my most precious Mom when I was 36, just two days before Thanksgiving. This Thanksgiving will mark the 25th anniversary of her passing from colon cancer. I wanted to die with her at the time and the pain never goes away, but it will become bearable with time. I am always open for chatting and will always support my GBT brothers! Big Brotherly Hugs Harry
Of course! i hope things get better.
give Jack all the best. I know about tragedy and losing someone very close to me. I lost my bf to cancer over a year ago and it was hella hard to say goodbye. Since he lived across the US I couldnt even attend his funeral, but talked to his stepdad afterwards. Tell him to keep fighting and let him know his mom will always be there in his heart.
Grand drama... this story made me put a little sad, I can only say that life is not easy, and there is always someone worse off than you, but worst of all ... is that also there is always someone better than you.
Be strong and always forward, hugs....
Hey Dakota. I just read the first few words and for a second (me also being a JACK] I thought OMG. lol.
But reading on I thought what a wonderful story. And thank you for sharing this. It can't have been easy for any of you.
I can almost feel the power and emotion in your words. I lost all my blood family in a short timespan but we can only guess how it must be.
Dakota, it is not for me to butt in, but I have two ears that work well and you can bend any one if you need another friend.
Sincerely, Another Jack.
Hello Dakota, thanks for sharing this info about you and your cousin. It is a heartbreaking story but I'm praying for a happy ending. Jack is very lucky to have you and your dad to love him. I wish all the best for you guys as you go through this tough time. Hugs to you and Jack.
Sorry for all your family has been through.
I really know how hard that he has been going thru all this and my grandma died from cancer I think it was liver or lung not sure which but she died in 2007 few days before thanksgivin. I broke down and cried for few days then year later my grandfather died of natural cause which he died while sleeping on Halloween morning. Then my uncle died of cancer but did had cancer treatment but cancer came back that was year later After my grandfather died. 2007, 2008 and 2009. It was really hard for me to deal this year after year after year. I was little upset that is because the near holiday is coming. I was reminded this family events that I had experienced in difficult time. I am STILL struggle to get over all this three family members that has died. It was not easy to get over with. Because I was being loved by them when I grew up by knowing I still get their love but not forsake me. Recent yesr ago, my mom's boyfriend died few days after 4th of July. He had cancer that can't have any treatment. I was kind of glad he has died because he anti-gay. He control over me while I visit my mom at her home. I was kind of pissed off at him. I had same experience when I was teenager almost same control that step father treat me that he shouldn't have done. But was very glad it's over. I do know the feeling that he had lost his mom and recent has happened. I am deeply very sorry for his loss and I am really glad you are really care of your cousin is very important to him. His relationship is much closer to you. I am sure his heart says thanks For being support and get him closer in that relationship that he needs to be care of. Which I like that kind of my relationship in my future boyfriend. I am still current looking for boyfriend. Tell him take your time pay his respect for her and his dad. We all do love him. ????????☹️❤️❤️❤️????????????

Sorry about that hope things get better for all of you all. Give him huggs and love from me ????
prayers for what you have experienced. kudos for someone that cares about you so much. take care.
Wow, that is heart breaking Dakota. I fostered a young guy who was going through some tough times, and self harming, so kind of know what you are dealing with. If Jack (or you) want a good-hearted, genuine friend in a way off country, I'm here for ya. hugz to both of you.
I did not know what had gone on in Jack's life prior to this. I'm glad that Jack has your dad and you now. Please pass along my best wishes to him. Grandpa R.D.
Jack has been very nice to me and I will continue to respect him like I do all my friends on here. Please say hi for me. Thank you.

I wish you guys the best.
Dakota...Jack is special. And you know how I feel about him. You are a good man. And with you and your Dad he is going to be OK. There are lots of good people here that care about Jack. And will look out for him just the way you do. He is lucky to have you in his life. Just as I feel lucky to call Jack a friend here.
