When I found out, I read his caring bridge entry over and over again, tears in my eyes, my heart going out to his mother...the one who gave him life and who was there when he moved on. Then I spent a few minutes looking through their family photos from last year... and I started smiling. I remembered how he was shy at first and a little hesitant to have his picture taken... how he warmed up quickly as we started running up and down the beach... how he and his brother wrestled on the sand... how they got so much joy out of discovering a long piece of drift wood that they turned into a flagpole and then a wagon... how he cracked up his entire family doing his version of 'the robot'...and how he spent the last little bit of light in the afternoon climbing on the rocks.
It was a good afternoon. An afternoon to remember...
You can see my original entry about this amazing family here.
Until next time,

My heart goes out to the family, I have no words and cannot imagine loosing a child. I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with Nick's family. I'm so glad you were able to give them the beautiful gift of those awesome pictures last year! I know they'll cherish them forever.
