A few weeks ago my cousin was visiting from New York City and we were talking about Jake's diet and how he has never had things like Coke because it has corn syrup in it. Which led to me saying that Mexican Coke is made with real sugar and you can buy it in some places in the US that have large Jewish populations because it is Kosher. Being rural southern Ontario we can't get it here though.
Fast forward to last week. Unfortunately my uncle passed away and my cousin came home for his father's funeral. As we left the funeral home after the visitation Jack told me he had a gift for Jake and he would give it to him at the family reunion. So Saturday we go to the beach for our reunion and Jack & his partner presented Jake with a box with 8 bottles of Mexican Coke! I have never seen Jake so happy. Even though it was warm from sitting in the car he had to open it and try it right away. He loved it of course!

I have to say that the thoughtfulness of this gift brought me close to tears. Jack, you will never know how happy this made Jake and how it touched my heart that in the middle of traveling to your father's funeral you stopped to buy my son Coke. Thank you.
