Jose' and Helene,

I just got the news today. I am so sorry to hear about Nicholas. Nicholas has a special place in my heart, as I was your family social worker who helped him find your home and your heart. I remember his big smiles and loads of energy. He was such a happy child and I know you have lots of special memories of him. Take care and I will be in touch as you move through your healing process. If there is anything you need, do not hesitate to call.

Helene and Jose,
I was deeply saddened to have heard such sad news. I am so very sorry. I hope that your hearts are healing a little every day and that they your minds are filled with all the happy memories of your sweet boy. I don't know if you remember us from clinic at Duke--but we did share some moments in the Fish Tank room last year. I particularly remember that beautiful smile of Nicholas' and his curiosity about everything --what a joyful boy in spite of what he had been through! May God grant you the strength to get through this most difficult period and the days that follow. God Bless.

Hey guys its just me stopping by to say hello. I know we speak EVERYDAY, but I just felt like writiing today. I have been doing alot of searching on the internet and you all know that there is nothing I wouldn't do for Nicholas. Being that he wanted the moon named after him, I found a place where I can not on;y buy him another star but I can name a piece of the moon after him too. How COOL is that?!?!? (I guess you really can find ANYTHING on the internet. Jackie found her army guy too, maybe thats where I get it from.)I love you all and miss you so much. I can't wait to see you at the end of the month. I NEED to cuddle with Christian and I could use a hug from you all too...... TO THE MOON AND BACK....I LOVE YOU.

Last week my son Nathan had pulled out the flashlight headgear that you had bought for Jillian at Duke. Of course I thought of Nicholas and immediately went to check the web to see how he was doing, only to find out that he had passed away that morning. I was so saddened by the news but I think it was Jillian's way of telling me she had a new playmate in heaven (too many playmates if you ask me). Please know that I think of your Nick all the time - the sweet boy who just hopped up on my lap and showed me his stuffed animal the first time I met him. Nicholas will be missed but never ever forgotten. May you find peace, strength, and happiness in the New Year. God Bless!

The services for *Nicholas* sound as if they were absolutely beautiful. It's nice to hear you had a celebration of his life and I'm sure it wasn't a problem to find so many people to say so many nice things about *Nicholas*. I hope all of you are doing as well as you possibly can be at this time. Not a day goes by when your family, and *Nicholas* too of course, aren't in my thoughts and prayers.

Sending lots and lots of BIG hugs and MUCH love your way!!!

Nevertheless, I will wish your family a happy new year and only hope and pray that 2004 will bring you all the peace, comfort and strength for you to carry on without your precious baby. You all remain my thoughts and prayers... your little boy will never be forgotten...

Hello,

I'm Bryanne Weaver. I think I have signed the guestbook before. I wrote to ask if I could add Nicholas's name to the wall of memory at cancerkids.org. If you don't want me to, that's fine, or if you would rather do it, that's fine too. I am sorry for the loss of your little boy. He was such a beautiful and bright child!

Dear Helene, Jose, & Christian,

You have my deepest sympathy during this trying time for you. I have always admired you from afar ever since I heard that you brought Nicholas home. I know you both from Nortel - I worked with Patty and she always spoke so highly of you both. It is through Patty, and you guys that we were directed to The Children's Home Society of NC. We are currently awaiting a beautiful bundle of joy to add to our family. We thank you both, along with Nicholas and Christian for that gift to us. It is amazing how you can touch someone's life, and not even be aware of it. Nicholas and Christian have both been a big influence on our family. Any time Patty had pictures, she always shared with me because she was aware that we were going through the adoption process with The Children's Home Society of NC. If you ever need anything, please feel free to let my husband and I know. I feel as though I know you, and my family feels your loss. We will continue to keep you in our prayers. God bless you!

I can tell from the entries I have read that your faith is strong and that you have confidence that Nicholas is healed now and will be looking over you now from heaven, just as Jillian is. I have been praying for of Nicholas and for all of you and he no longer needs my prayers but I know that you do. I will pray for you for comfort in this time of loss and sorrow.

Dearest Helene and Choo-Choo,

Again, words cannot express the sadness I feel in my heart. My only consolation, and I know that I can speak for my brothers and sisters, is that we each got to spend such precious alone time with Nicholas in early December. I think of this precious time often and know that Nicholas himself orchestrated this one-on-one time as if he knew what each of us needed. I will never ever forget when he asked me to watch some TV with him in his room and how he made room for me on his bed and even reached over to hand me his pillow so I could be more comfortable. Nicholas to me was an old soul - wise beyond his years. He touched so many lives and I know beyond any doubt that this was his special mission in his short, precious life. He gave both of you strength. He was an amazing child - he was truly an angel - even before December 26th.

I will pray for strength for the both of you. You have another little angel who is so lucky to have the best parents in the world!!

May God bless you both during this time and always!

I'm so sorry for your loss of Nicholas. He is such a gorgeous little boy! I am glad he was able to be with you on Christmas day. Little Christian is young but will definitely miss his older brother. I know it's hard to lose a loved one, and Cancer is horrid. But little Nicholas is now cancer free and Jesus is holding him in his arms! And I also know that he is still wearing that cute smile! I'll be praying for you, stay strong.

Another angel takes flight.

My deepest, most sincere sympathy and condolences to each and every one of you!! Nicholas was a fighter, there is no doubt about that! He is now pain free, free to fly in the Heavens and watch over all of you!
We lost our precious Pam on Oct. 7, 2003, so I know what you are going through. There are no words that can ease the pain.
I would just like to share a saying that was on the card my wife Diane picked out, and we bought for Pam:

If you were a star
That wasn’t expected back
In the universe
For a thousand years,
I’d wait.

If you were the sky
And everyone went inside
When you got sad
And started to rain,
I’d stay.

And if you were a peach
And the world decided to get rid of all peaches,
I’d pick you up,
Put you in my pocket…

AND KEEP YOU……..FOREVER.

I would also like to share, with you and your family, a poem that was put on Pams website:
God's Garden


God looked around His garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face

He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best

He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace Be Thine."

It breaks our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

You are all in our prayers. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

My heart weeps for those of you left behind to mourn yet soars for Nicholas who flies with the angels and walks at our lord Jesus's side!


God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you and whispered "Come with me."
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and saw you fading away.
Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, working hands were put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.

Words cannot express the sadness I feel for you Helene and Jose. I find it so bittersweet that Nick made it through Christmas only to pass through heaven's gates on the what happens to be my son's birthday. I heard the news and it took all I had to make my son's 13th a memorable one, when all I could do was think of the emptiness you must be feeling.

I am so happy that he was surrounded by those that loved him most! Nick showed us how to love and what the true meaning of living life to the fullest!

I sent you the "Angel of Hope" on impulse as I have one of my own on my dresser. I hope you can look at it as a symbol of the Angel who came to guide your Nick to be with the lord.

I wish you and your family strength & love as you grieve for the loss of your sweet Angel.

I'm always here for you...

I am praying for your family. I found this poem on Lakota's web page and I hope somehow it can bring some comfort.

Just Because

Just because I no longer
stand in front of your eyes
doesn't mean you can't see me.
Close them,
I am there.

Just because I no longer
answer when you call my name
doesn't mean you can't hear me.
Speak softly, listen carefully,
there is my voice.

Just because I can no longer
touch your hands
doesn't mean you can't feel me.
Hold on to another,
my arms are there.

Just because I am no longer there
to show you I love you
doesn't mean my love is gone.
Place your hand on your heart, feel its beat.
I am there.

Know that I am with God.

Know that God is with you.

And in that we are still with each other.

Just because....

Jose and Helene:

My goodness how we have grown to love you guys too. I am so heartbroken about Nicholas...I must honestly also say that I am so glad that he went without pain. I HATE BRAINTUMORS!!!! How crummy that sweet Nicholas had to go through this in his life.....He was so unlucky in that way but he was so lucky and blessed to have you two as his parents. He was so obviously loved by you...and you guys just rolled up your shirts and made the best of it and made Nicholas' life fun and full of love and smiles and happiness. I will always remember you and Nicholas.

I pray you find Peace and Strength to get through this time...

With Love from your friends,
Susan and Jake

I am so sorry to hear about Nicholas. We met you guys several times in clinic with our son Jordan. Nicholas always wanted to see the baby. I will remember him as full of energy. He didn't know a stranger. He would come over, grab my hand, and ask me to play the computer or put in a video in clinic. He was a doll and we will miss him. I pray that God wraps his arms around you and gives you comfort in your time of loss.

I wish we could have had more visits. We will always remember him.
I will remember how he showed so much love to everyone. How he patted Maddison on her back and wanting to sit with her. How he hugged us all and smiled. May the Lord give you great comfort and streight during this time.

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.

He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.

He saw your path was difficult, he closed you tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.

When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.

You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children, you're always by our side.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.

I will take with me always where ever I go the words Nicholas spoke to me after being with him for no more than an hour or two the first day we visited. We were horsing around in the living room and he just stopped and says "You know what?" And I asked back, "No, what?" Nicholas then says so sweetly "I love you" and he stretched his arm over my neck. The warmth he showed me is a testimony to how much you all loved him so. His love came from you Helene and you Jose. He couldn't stop loving. His face when he said it was real close to my mine but I can hear him more than anything else. His sweet sweet sounding voice. Its in my heart now.
Why did this happen?, we may never know why. But for me, the way Nicholas remained loving throughout this unfair ordeal shows me that I have no reason to give a complaint. To say "why me?" when I don't get my way, is fruitless.
I remember him strumming his guitar giving it his all. He remained unwilling to quit. He fought it. And even though he went away he will be 5 years old forever with a heart bigger than words can describe, because how can you when one suffers so much yet still shows love and compassion? Jose and Helene thank you! Thank you so much for opening your home to us, for being so strong that way when I'm sure every breath must have hurt because you wanted so much to take away what was hurting Nicholas.
Take deep breaths now. God has bestowed upon you an Angel. A true warrior of His likeness in Nicholas. A child who only knew to love every day of his life. Even when so much was taken away so quickly.
Love and mighty strength to you all. You have more reason to live and love in your son Christian.

Dear Helene, Jose, Christain, Lil, Wes, Yvette, Heather, Marie and Albert
Jim and I was so saddened today when Lil called us with the news of Nicholas' passing. We have prayed constantly for Nicholas that somehow, somewhere there would be a miracle to cure him of the cancer. We were so fortunate to meet Nicholas and have the opportunity to send a day with him. He,in his gentle way, was a child you would always remember. We will continue to pray for all of you to have the courage and strength to get though these most difficult days. We know that Nicholas is our Angel in heaven now and he is playing the sweetest music for the Christ Child. Take some comfort in knowing that Nicholas will always be watching over all of you, you will always feel his presence. Our love, our prayers and our thoughts are with you all.Love and deepest sympathy, Irene & Jim

We feel so sad when those we love
Are called to live in the home above,
But why should we grieve
when they say good-bye
And go to dwell in a cloudless sky?
For they have but gone to prepare the way,
And we'll meet them again some happy day,
For God has told us that nothing can sever
A life He created to live forever.
So let God's promise soften our sorrow
And give us new strength for a brighter tomorrow.

Helene.Jose and Christian,
I was saddened to learn this morning of Nicholas' passing. He held a special place in my heart and I know that there was a reason the he was placed here with us...find comfort in knowing that he touched so many of us in a special way.
The cord that attaches us to our children
is eternally fine and strong
It never leaves the missing
it holds us all life long
Our children live inside us
our souls tattooed with gold
Their love, their words, and caresses
are hugs that we still hold
If we open to the knowlege
that they aren't completely gone
We will sometimes feel their touching
sometimes soft and sometimes strong
Remember that Nicholas lives forever within all of us...

TOGETHERNESS

Death is nothing at all -- I have only
slipped away into the next room.
Whatever we were to each other,
that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way which you
always used.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little
jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be the household word that
it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of your mind because
I am out of your sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere very near.
Just around the corner.
All is well.
Nothing is past, nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be
as it was before -- only better,
infinitely happier and for ever --
We will be all one together with
Christ.

***I am so VERY sorry to hear of Nicholas' passing. Of course I'm glad to hear he's pain free, but saddened by the fact that he had to pass on in order to become this way.

Nicholas is a beautiful little boy and I will be forever grateful for having known him for the short time that I did, despite only knowing him and some other members of your family only through CaringBridge. His smile and bravery will live on in my heart forever. A big thank you goes out to Adela for e~mailing me and letting me know of Nicholas' passing. Thank you, hon.***

Nicholas, Hey my Handsome little man! I have been reading your journal and calling to check on you I just haven't signed in a while. I think of you all the time and am so upset that I am not there with you for the holidays. You mean the world to me and everyone else. I am really glad that you like your stars. And my little man if you want the moon named after you, you can have it! You can have anything in the world. I love you to the moon and back...ALWAYS!

Helene, Choo, and Christian, Hey guys how's it going? I miss you all. Christian are you staying out of TROUBLE?!?!? I hope so. You are so funny, but not like Nick at all. You are into EVERYTHING!!! But I still love and miss you anyway!To the moon and back. I will see you all soon.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I do not envy you guys and the emotional torment you are going through. I guess the nurse has to say such harsh things because there are many parents who dont realize the gravity of the situation, BUT yet, she gets to walk away and go home, its not her child. You need to know you did all you could. I am thankful too that he isnt in any pain, but thats not good enough and it doesnt help make any of this fair....

It has been hard for me to send you a message since nicholas was denied treatment. Even though this treatment was denied, i pray with all my heart this new protocol 50 will be his miracle. I love my children so much, and i could only imagine the pain you are all experiencing. Keep faithful, knowing that God is watching, and keep strong. Nicholas is a very lucky boy to have such loving parents. Papo and susie are having trouble logining on to this site, but they send their love and hopefully wait for great, not good, but great news.

Dear Helene and Jose,
Each day I go to Nicholas' site so Jim and I can see how he is doing. We are praying everyday for Nicholas and have asked all the members of our family and friends to pray for the miracle he so deserves. All of our grandchildren have been praying for Nicholas each night. He is such a brave little guy and has been though so much so courageously. We also pray for the both of you to get you though these days and hope that you will get positive news from Chicago. How fortunate we were to have met Nicholas last year and spent such a happy day with him. Our prayers and love to all the family.

dear nicholas and family
i have this poem i have shared with jake and his family and thought of you. the poem was found in my sons brain tumor clinic ward and it help me alot im hoping it will do the same with you.my thoughts and prayers are with you
abbie
HOPE
Do you know what hope is ?
Its magic and its free
Its not in a prescription
Its not in a IV
It puncutes our laughter
It sparkles in our tears
It simmers under sorrow
Its dissipates our fears.
Do you know what hope is?
Its reaching past today
Its dreaming of tommorw
Its trying a new way
Its pushing past impossible
Its pounding at the door
Its questioning the answers
Its always seeking more
Its rumors of a breath
Its whispers of a cure
A rollercoaster ride of rememdies unsure
Do you know what hope is ?
Its candy for the soul
Its a perfume for the spirits
to share...makes you whole.

It was touching to see how inspiring you, Helene and Nicholas are to so many people and how much you are loved. You are all towers of strength. I get updates on Nicholas from Hilda and Lilly --you guys are always in their thoughts. I hope you hear from Chicago soon and with good news. Hey, Alex and Nicholas never settled their score -- who can stare down the other for the longest!! :) Sasha and Alex say hi.
God Bless all of you. We're praying for you.

I heard about Nicholas on Jacob’s web site. I can’t believe I never had your web page until now. When I brought Jillian back from Duke, the doctors asked her what friends she made up in North Carolina. She said, “All boys, Jacob, Cody, Jordan and Nicholas.” I know Jillian watches over her friends from heaven and will be especially vigilant of her friend Nicholas. I remember one day at clinic, you gave Jillian one of those flashlights you wear on your head because she liked the one Nicholas had. Now my son likes to wear it and I think of Nick every time he does. I am so sorry for what he is going through right now. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I still believe in miracles and will be praying for one.

Hey Cool Breeze Nicholas. It was so dearly special to see you. You just warmed my heart whenever you hung your arm over my neck or pulled me by your hand to show me something. It was really special when we were horsing around and you stopped and said "I love you." I just felt so special inside. I told you "I love you too" but you beat me to it. You showed me a lot Mr. Nicholas.
You showed me more again when we said we had to leave to drive back home and I asked you not to cry and you kept your word. Thanks Nicholas for being so strong for all of us. We talked about you and your younger brother and mom and pop while we drove back home. We miss you. You and Christian are great together. It was cute to see you both wrestle over the TV and the guitar. You know how to handle your brother -- all in love and patience. It was fun to see. You are one tough cookie, Cool Breeze.
I love you Nicholas. I'll call again Wed the 11th.

I thank you for ALWAYS listening to me and being there for me. It's my turn now, so let me handle this one. Together-I promise we WILL get through this. We have a strong loving family and the very best friends here to give whatever we need. I love you. TO THE MOON AND BACK.....

Hey Nicholas,

I just love the photo of Santa and your family. Today we attended the local Make A Wish Christmas party and Cheyenne asked Santa if she could take her picture with him. She wouldn't let her mom or me get in the picture, so it is only of those 2. We posted it also. Looks like the same Santa to me!!! We're praying for you and thinking about you all the time. You have a great day tomorrow.

See, I told you where to go to find Santa! ;)
The picture is beautiful! I'm so glad Nicholas and Christian got to see Santa and Mrs. Claus. Yep Nicholas, I've heard Santa's sleigh is very quick! Imagine what it's like on Christmas Eve! ;) BTW - Did you know that you and Santa share the same name? (St. Nicholas and my little buddy Nicholas)

I loved my hug yesterday, Nicholas, I can't wait to get another!
Love,

My little girl was diagnosed with a Glioblastome IV Multiforme at the age of four as well, so I understand what you might be going through. It is hard sometimes. Monika's tumor is inoperable though. Monika also has a site through caringbridge just like you so that we can all see your cute little faces smiling away at us!
You are such a cute angel and I do love your smiling eyes!

Hi, I found your site while visiting Gooch's site this evening. I cried as I read you story, but I smile as I felt your strength. It's amazing! My son has Fanconi Anemia. He is five years old, but we are very lucky in the fact that he is still very healthy. We are searching for a bone marrow match that will save his life. www.willpowerfund.org

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Our motto is "where there's a WILL there's a way"! I pray for your miracle!!!

We also pray for your mom and your dad. I love seeing pictures of you.

Choo Choo, stay strong! Keep your faith in God. I just want you to know that I pray daily for you guys. I'm glad about the new hope! God is awesome. Keep the faith.

Dear Helene and Jose,
We are praying for Nicholas. I don't know if you know this or not but Nicholas was the first person we got to know at Duke. Those first few weeks there were scary and nerve racking but Nicholas was always there to save the day with that gorgeous smile. He managed to keep Jacob occupied which meant his mind wasn't on being sick and he kept our minds occupied which made our days so much easier. Nicholas brightens the room when he walks in and he puts so many smiles on so many faces. This I know from experience because some of our darkest days were spent at Duke and Nicholas and you were there to brighten our days. Please give Nicholas a hug for us and tell him that we love him so much. You all are in our thoughts and prayers and we will be praying really hard for this other treatment. We love you guys....

Glad to see you updating again...I missed reading from you:) Your haircolor sounds a lot like mine (the new loreal for me LOL)...I used to go to the salon faithfully now I just don't have time anymore and it is just not a priority. If I do say so myself...it still looks pretty good. I never thought of letting Jake do it....hhuuummm...I think I will wait on letting him "paint" my hair..although I KNOW he would love it. Hope those seizures go bye bye soon.

With Love,
Susan and Big Jake

Hi Nicholas! Sounds like you are doing so well on your healing journey. So many little hero's on this path. My prayers continue to be with you and your family. God bless you little one! Sincerely,
Kathy (David's mom)

*****Nicholas's Dad******************
What type of chemo will Nicholas be taking? I'm just wondering because you said he will start it at night, which is when David takes his oral chemo(temador) like Cheyenne...anyway, I will be praying for your beautiful baby boy and for you. God Bless.

It is hot one day and cold the next. Aunt Yvette tells me
that you can play the guitar. I tried to play the guitar
but was not very good at it. Keep playing the guitar and keep singing. And have a happy Thanksgiving.
Always with love.

Guys I am so sorry to read your entry...I am so, so sorry. I will be on my knees tonight praying that the next chemo is able to stop this horrible thing from growing. I will pray for you all to have the strength to get through this and that God will take care of you and your family. I am so sorry that on top of this Nicholas has to have shunt issues as well. He does not need that on top of this. He is SUCH an amazing trooper and his spirit and energy throughout all of the time I have known you is amazing as well. Helene...I still remember the first conversation we had on the phone that day and I think of you guys ALL the time. May this child have his miracle! May this child have his miracle!

Hi Nicholas,
I just wanted to stop by and say hi and introduce myself. My name is Misti and my little boy, Zach, had a brain tumor too. His was called a pontine glioma. He was 9 yrs. old when he left us to be with the angels. He loved playing soccer, basketball, and baseball. How about you? Do you like any sports? He also loved Spiderman and the Hulk and he collected Yu-gi-oh cards. He loved the Dallas Cowboys, Spurs, and the Atlanta Braves. He even got an autographed baseball from Andruw Jones the center fielder for the Atlanta Braves. I'm sorry you had to miss Halloween but when you get home it sounds like your wonderful neighbors are expecting you in costume knocking on their doors. I will be praying for you and your family. I hope you get well soon. If you don't mind I would like to stop by every now and then to see how you are doing. Take care my new little buddy. Please check out my Zach's web page when you have a chance.

Hey there Nicholas,

WOW, The fair sounded really fun. I could probably do the swing, but no roller coasters, and NO SCARY rides. My rule now is, if it goes unside down, NO, if it goes high, NO, if it goes fast, NO. I guess you can tell that I have had some bad experiences. It is so wonderful to hear how you were laughing and having fun. That's what it is all about. You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless you.

Just keep it up and keep getting stronger. I don't know what chemo you are going to be taking, but I hope it is one that is easier than some. We will be praying that you have no further sickness and just continue to heal. God Bless you big guy. You are in our thoughts and prayers every day.

Hey there Nicholas,

I really love your new pictures. That one ride really looks like fun. When Cheyenne was having treatment in San Antonio 2 months ago she talked me into going on a ride. It went upside down and everything. I still do not have keys to the car. I lost everything. So no more rides for me. You, Christopher, and your whole family are in our prayers everyday. (I know from experience that mom and dad need the prayers also). You just keep getting better and we are praying for a GREAT MRI and continued complete healing. I'll drop back by a little later to say hi again. You have a fun day tomorrow.

Dear Nicholas,
I was checking up on all the brave beautiful children tonight when I saw a request for prayers for you on Jake's site. I haven't been to your site before, so I read some of your old journals. I'm real sorry your not feeling real good right now, but soon with the grace of God you'll be as good as new. It's great that the doctors took all of that nasty tumor out of your head. Its all great from now on. I pray that you will be completely healed in Jesus's name. I also see that my husband Roy found you, and didn't tell me. I'll talk to him tonight about linking you up to Cheyenne's site, so lots more people can be praying for you. Prayers are an awesome thing!! Check on you later.

My daughter Pam also has a brain tumor and has been fighting the fight since November 4th, 2002, after the birth of her daughter (Casey Morgan). My yougnest daughter, Karen, set up a caringbridge website for Pam. Karen's friends mother shared a prayer with us, that I would like to share with you and Nicholas. It's called DON'T QUIT:
Don't Quit -
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit - Rest if you must, but do not quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a fellow turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow - You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup. And he learned too late when the night came down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar, So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, It's when things seem worst that you musn't quit.(Just call on Jesus).
REMEMBER NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT. You are in our prayers. GOD bless you all.

Hi Nicholas,

Just a quick note to say Hi and see how you are feeling. My name is Emma and I am Mrs. Waters 3 1/2 year old Granddaughter. My grandma told me you have been sick and have had to see a lot of Doctors lately. I saw my Doctor and he told me I had to eat more vegetables. But I don't like brocolli - only green beans. My favorite food is marshmellows and macaroni and cheese. What's yours? I am getting so excited about Halloween this year - my Mom and I already found the perfect costume - A UNICORN!!! The costume is purple with rainbow mane and tail and big sparkle wings. I love it so much I have worn it everyday since my Mom bought it from the store. What are you going to be for Halloween? Have you decided yet?.... I was going to be Scooby Doo but the costume was too big for me. My little sister Andie is going to be either a ballerina or a unicorn too. I heard you have a little sister too. Write back and let me know what you decide to be and if you get some good treat or treats this year! Love, Emma

And you are enjoying kindergarten, which is just wonderful. Quinn started his first day of Grade 3 today (yes, he is getting to be a BIG boy!) and Callum starts preschool tomorrow..wow, both my babies in school? Where did the time go?? They were just babies yesterday, or so it seems:) They will always be my babies, no matter how old or big they get, just as you and Christian will always be Mommy and Choo-choo's babies, no matter how old or big you get:) And I hope you get to be both....big and old, like Choo-choo (hee hee!). We are praying very hard for you, sweetie, that the doctor's and the Protocel will find a way to make your tumors go away FOREVER...praying for a cure...big hugs to our special friend,

Hi Nicolas!
I have heard so much about you and what a strong and brave young man you've turned out to be. You're strength is truly a gift from God and it is admired by so many people. Always trust in God as you travel on your life's journey. There is a lesson that can be learned in every challenge that you face in life, sometimes it's harder to see than others but each lesson makes us learn a little more and grow a little stronger.
When I looked at your pictures, I saw a bright, sweet boy with so much life and energy. I loved the pictures of you(especially the picture of you as a Rescue Ranger!!) That is a very cool jeep that you have, by the way! I noticed that in every picture, you had the best SMILE. Keep smiling, Nicolas, there is nothing in life that you can't get through with the love and prayer of everyone that cares for you!
My prayers are with you,
Heather

Hello Nicholas,

This is Lynn Waters checking in with ya!!! I've been reading about you and know that you are taking Karate!! WOW!! Are you a black belt yet? I bet it is fun to learn all the kicks and moves. I'd probably fall right on my face if I tried it, so I am really proud of you for learning how to do it.

It has been a busy summer for me. I am still working for the telephone company. Gotta keep those phones working right so you can get all the phone calls that you get. I heard how popular you are and that your phone rings a lot. I guess that's why I've been so busy.

I'm doggie sitting this weekend for my daughter. So I have two cute little fluffy doggies running all over the house getting into mischief.

This morning I baby sat my 3 year old (Emma Lynn) and my 1 year old (Andi, but we call her Andipants) grandaughters. We call her Andipants, because everytime she would crawl somewhere, she would crawl right out of her pants. I think she liked just being in her diapers!!! Then yesterday, I visited with my 2 year old grandaughter, Taylor. Emma, Taylor and even Andipants say hello to you and hope that you get better soon.

Say hello to your family for me. I have to go for now, so I'm going to wish you all my best wishes and prayers to get better and stronger each day.

Love and hugs,

Lynn

Hey Nicholas how are you doing? I hope you are doing well and enjoying your summer! Did I ever tell you we found some bunnies in our backyard recently. Actually, our dog did - the kids were in the pool and she was barking like crazy under the pool deck. Finally when we checked there was a bunny nest with a baby bunny in it. Then after more looking through it we found 2 more. So since I have 3 kids and there was 3 bunnies, they each named one. We left lettuce and water and carrots out there but it was never touched so we dont think the mom came back. About 2 days later we took them in to feed them and we had them a week, feeding them kitten milk from a kitten bottle or dropper. They were SO cute! They called them Jean, Robin and Nibbles. My son Gooch called his Jean, named after Jean Smart in XMen. They opened their eyes while we had them and by the end of the week we had them they were running all over, more running than hopping. My husband was convinced they were going to grow up and bite our fingers off, so we turned them over to a Childrens Museum that is a wildlife rehab center near us. I hope they are being taken care of, if they werent already released. I know the kids loved them and they really were cute!! That was our thrill for the summer – hope you are enjoying yours!

HEY FIREMAN NICHOLAS!!!

I heard you were a real CHAMP and that the Docs took real good care of you. I knew you would be brave. You are my bestest (not good English) hero in the world. Spiderman and Superman can't compare to you...You are the CHAMP!!!

Well, I hope you are resting up and that you get to go home soon. As soon as you feel up to it, I say you ask the nurses for a big bowl of ice cream. Ice cream always makes me feel better!!!!

My doggie Ginger says hello too!! Well....she says woof, but I know that means hello. I told my Ginger doggie all about you and she thinks you are just GREAT!! Today, Ginger is wearing a little red teeshirt with black sequin glittery hearts and hugs and kisses (XXX OOO) because she wanted you to know that she thinks you are SWELL!

Well, Manassas, Virginia, where I live is getting so much rain that everything is soggy and mushy. The only thing good about it is the flowers are beautiful. I wish I could go play in the mud, but I'm afraid my neighbors would think I was crazy. What do you think????

Okay Nicholas, I've gotta run now, but I am thinking about your smiling face and it makes me happy. Get well soon and keep up the good work!!

Love ya,

Dear Nicholas & Family
When i heard of Nicholas's surgery this morning I droped on my knees to pray & I know the Lord heard my prayers.So know that the lord has sent his Angles to keep & watch over Nicholas & the Doctors. He is a very special little boy & very well loved by all.

God sent his angles down today to keep the bad & evel away,
he heard your cryes & felt your tears & he will take care of all your fears. A special prayer has come to him that he must fullfil to the end, so understand my weary ones the Lord is here his jobs just begun.He will not stop till he is through to take care of Nicholas & You .

God Bless & Keep you
in his Grace & Mercy.

HI NICHOLAS -

I miss seeing you and talking with you. I met you when I worked at Overweightpeople.com. You drew some great pictures for me on the whiteboard! I Hope you are keeping up with your drawing skills, because you were very creative with colors.

I know you haven't been feeling very good and I hope that you get better really quick. I've been talking to God and asking him to make sure the doctors are working hard at getting you better. You know you are a very special young man with a lot of people who love you very much. I'm one of them!!! When I come back to Durham for a visit, I hope that we can all go out to dinner together. Will you wear your fireman hat for m? You look so strong and brave in it. I think that hat fits you just perfect, because you are strong and brave, just like the NY firemen!!!

Say hello to your mommy and daddy and the baby for me. Remember I have a date with you for dinner with your family, and don't forget to wear your fireman hat!!!

Love

Lynn

Hey guys. I actually read the update yesterday but I couldn't find the words to say how sorry I am. I was so shocked, my heart just sunk when I read it. You know, Nicholas has a spirit about him that is amazing. He brought smiles to Jacob's face when he was pretty much at his lowest point. He has a special gift. With that spirit and with God and with his special mom and dad he will get thru this. You all are always in our prayers. We will be saying lots of extra prayers now.......If there is anything at all we can do please let us know. Give Nicholas a big ole hug from all of us.

Hi Nicholas,
I'm the lady, or one of the ladies that mommy talks to when she orders your Protocel. I decided to take a look at your journal and see all about you. My! What a handsome boy you are, and you made me chuckle when I saw you in Santa's clothes. Ha! Anyway, I'm glad I came onto your website journal cause now I know you a little better. So now when I say my prayers for you, I know exactly who I'm praying for.
Maybe some day I can meet you in person. I would like that.
I better go now, but you keep on growing and getting stronger every day and being a good boy. Okay! Bye now.

Your grandpa told me that all you do when you need a little energy is to eat a bag of Doritos.

Hey there Nick, How are you feeling? I am stuck in NY in the biggest snow storm you could ever imagine. You wouldn't even be able to play outside becasue the snow is so high it could cover you. I am glad that you are home from the hospital. Maybe you'll want to talk to me tomorrow when I call because lately you haven't wanted to talk to me on the phone....(Meanie) Anyway I hope you are having fun with Grandma and Grandpa and Titi Yvette. Don't forget to make the handprints while Titi is there. I love you and miss you so much. Give Christian and Mommy and Daddy hugs and kisses for me.

Hi Nicholas,
Well, the weatherman said that it is going to snow on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I know you like the snow
so I was thinking about you. I hate the snow so I am
going to crawl into bed and read and watch the TV. Just
wanted you to know that I am always thinking about you
and your wonderful family.

Good morning Nicholas! How are you today? I am freezing-it is soooo cold! Thank goodness we did not get all of the snow they said we were. I am so happy that next week we are on vacation! YIPEEEEE! I am going to have fun, fun, fun! What have you been doing these days? Did you remember to put a good word in for me to Santa? The tooth fairy came to my house the other night because Nicolette lost a tooth. Nick was mad because the tooth fairy only gave her $4.00. I don't think I ever got $4 for a tooth. She should be happy don't you think? I thought I saw the Easter bunny in the mall the other day. He disappeared before I could get him. I hope he brings me lots of chocolate eggs in my basket. I just LOVE chocolate! Hope everyone at home is doing well. Have fun today. BYE!

Hi Nicholas,
You don't know me but I'm an old friend of mommy and daddy's. I'm so glad to see that you're doing well. It's snowing here in NY right now. Believe it or not I love snow too, but I don't get to go out and play in it much. Please tell your parents I say hello and think of them often. Maybe one day I will get to meet you and your little brother.

Hi Nick! Friday was a big snow day in New York and we are expecting more today. Yuck!! I thought I was going to see titi Yvette at the meeting last week but the meeting is this week. See what happens when you get old. Are you and Christian being good boys? You know, even though it is only February, Santa still watches out for stuff like this. I want a Lexus IS 300 for Christmas. Maybe you can tell Santa that I have been good so far this year. He really listens to little kids especially cute ones like you. Later buddy! Have a good day!

Hi Nicholas! I'm back from my vacation. We had a nice time, for the most part anyway. My husband,Joey, ended up getting sick and he really couldn't enjoy himself. There was so much to do there. I wanted to go snow-mobiling. I think we will have to go back there so we can do all of the things that we missed out on. Heather loves my dog! She said that my dog was actually a good girl and she didn't eat anything while we were away. This morning she wasn't too good because she ate something else. Sometimes I want to send her to the pound. How was your weekend? Are you being a good boy? How is brother doing? I hope all is well over there and I will write to you again really soon. Hugs and kisses!

Hi Nicholas! I am writng to you now because I am getting ready to go away for the weekend to the Poconos. Heather is going to watch my dog for me while I am away. My dog is a Golden Retriever named "Venny". She is very playful and loves to eat the laundry. Her favorite is socks and shoes. Last night my children left their clothes on the stairs. When I woke up this morning, I found shredded clothes all throughout my house! She is a bad, bad dog but I still love her a lot. So, how have you been? How's baby brother? I hope you're listening to Heather and behaving. I'm sure you are. Anyway sweetie, I must go because I have to get ready to leave. I will write to you again on Monday.
