“Nothing can prepare you for what it feels like to lose both of your parents at the same time and in an instant,” he wrote. I still have to wake up every morning and say to myself, “No, this is not a dream.” This is truly a living nightmare for me. ”
And in fact, Jake added that he continues to remember “how scary they were” as an element of the situation.
“They were the last people in the world who deserved what happened to them,” he continued. “They deserved to be loved, they deserved to be respected, and most of all, they deserved to be recognized given how much they gave to all three of us and to the world.”
Additionally, in the essay, Jake reflected on his relationship with his parents. About Michele, she emphasized their shared love of musicals, how she gathers her extended family together every Thanksgiving, and how she is just a phone call away.
As for his father, Jake writes about their mutual love of baseball and how they made sure to watch countless Dodgers games together over the years, a trait he inherited from his grandfather, Carl Reiner. And when Jake confessed that he wanted to give up his career as a broadcaster to pursue a career as an actor, Rob’s support knew no bounds.
