It has been a year today since we lost Nick and Heaven gained an Angel. I wanted to do something special, but wasn't sure exactly what. I remembered the first day we were in the ER waiting room, there was a bag of coins taped to the vending machine. Since I never carry change, I actually did use some of them to purchase the kids snacks. I decided to go to the same ER room and tape my own bag of coins for someone else to use....
I also remembered the days we sat in the ICU waiting room. How good my kids were even though it was long hours and lots of emotion. I took coloring books, crayons, a Bible and two containers of Fudge and left it on the table in the waiting room.
It was really hard to be back in the same Hospital, but I am glad I did this. I think it will be my own tradition to uphold every year in honor of someone very special to us. We have our family coming over tonight to get a Christmas Tree, decorate it, eat pizza and apple pie and talk about all the fun times we had with Nick.
We love you Brother and miss you EVERY day!!

My eyes fill with tears today and I will never forget the tears I cried a year ago. You are so generous to give back to those who are sitting in a similar spot you and your family were in a year ago. My prayers are always with you all and Alice and Joe. I think I will go home and have a slice of Apple pie just for Nick tonight. Xoxo
What a wonderful way to honor Nick. You are AMAZING.
