Near the end of the day, \u00a0Jacob\u2019s dad Jerry came and thanked all of the volunteers for their time and efforts.\u00a0 At the end of his thank you he mentioned the phrase \u2018Jacob\u2019s Hope\u2019.\u00a0 Within minutes a song was writing itself in the back of my mind.\u00a0 I went home that night, put pen to paper and finished this song.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cSince that experience of having a beautiful young person taken from our community I have been passionate about supporting the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center and the National Center for Missing &amp; Exploited Children.\u00a0 May I encourage you to help support them too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.missingkids.com\/search\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-740\" src=\"https:\/\/douglaswood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/MK_logo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"156\" height=\"96\" srcset=\"https:\/\/douglaswood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/MK_logo.png 156w, https:\/\/douglaswood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/MK_logo-100x62.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 156px) 100vw, 156px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gundersenhealth.org\/ncptc\/jacob-wetterling-resource-center\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-741\" src=\"https:\/\/douglaswood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/JWRC-logo-300x52.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"52\" srcset=\"https:\/\/douglaswood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/JWRC-logo-300x52.png 300w, https:\/\/douglaswood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/JWRC-logo-100x17.png 100w, https:\/\/douglaswood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/JWRC-logo.png 534w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=&#8221;0px&#8221; padding_bottom=&#8221;0px&#8221;][vc_column fade_animation_offset=&#8221;45px&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/172334751&amp;color=ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n[\/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=&#8221;45px&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div  class=\"x-video embed with-container\" ><div class=\"x-video-inner\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1hLH9DbTnAY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row padding_top=&#8221;0px&#8221; padding_bottom=&#8221;0px&#8221;][vc_column fade_animation_offset=&#8221;45px&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=&#8221;0px&#8221; padding_bottom=&#8221;0px&#8221;][vc_column fade_animation_offset=&#8221;45px&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=&#8221;45px&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>JACOB&#039;S HOPE: THE MISSING CHILDREN&#039;S SONG - Douglas Wood<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"On October 22nd 1989 a masked gunman abducted Jacob Wetterling.
