R.I.P. IJAG's crush on Brook Jacoby (1988-2007)

Yes, the time has come.

 

The end of an era.

What happened?

 

That explains the pigs flying outside my window

 

He came out?

 

I suddenly realized that he's not the dashing young 28-year-old who captured my 12-year-old heart, nor the kind early-30-something who signed my Indians hat, nor the image I've held dear. He's grown, and so have I, and it's ... well, it's just time.

 

I felt the same way when I saw Sharon Resultan in person... I feel your loss.

 

I'll always love him. Forever. But I'll choose to remember him as the reason I once loved baseball. And I'll choose to remember myself as the idealistic young girl who believed our love was possible.

 

So Brook is having a Restraining Order ripping up party?

 

What next, that there's no Easter Bunny?

 

Jake is pleased.

 

Aw, you always know how to make it hurt a little less, sc.
