My gift...

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!!
