I just wanted you to know that ...Hello Nickname!!! I just wanted you to know that I think of you daily. I feel so lucky that I got to meet you and hang out during the first FD camp this year. One of my most memorable times with you was when you took me to see the horses with Remix, Lil Bit, and Spider roll. I had sooo much fun learning how to rope cattle!! haha I know our paths will cross again one day and I can't wait. Remember when you showed up at the cabin all dressed up in your cowboy duds?? I said to you, "WOW, I think you are going to be my next crush!!" haha But anyway, just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that I am thinking of you and sending healing vibes your way. It sounds like you are surrounded by so much love. Cancer sucks but it did leave a little piece of you in my heart!

I've known a few people who shine with God's grace and I am so thankful that you and Nick are part of my life. And Nick, I draw strength from your determination. You're an incredible young man and I pray for you every day. I pray for your whole family...hugs for everyone.

I for years have logged in EVERY day to read your posts. There are those days I find a new post... and then there are those days I just re-read the old posts :) It has become a regimen. The piece that adore is that in all the chaos around you, you find that ray of light. The lesson and the gift that you, Nick and your family have given is that the ray of light is always there... just look. I just wanted you to know that your experience has been felt, and the way you continue to travel this journey is inspiring. The LOVE beams out. Nick was blessed when God gifted him to you all those years ago.<br /><br />continued prayers...

Water for Eleph...Good Morning Nick and family,<br /> Water for Elephants is a favorite of ours too. That story captured how a human spirit can rise in the midst of loss, fear, and adversity. Sweet Nick, your spirit is soaring! <br /> Dear Heavenly Father, I ask with faith and hope that your perfect will be done. May your hands of comfort be on Nick, your hands of love be on those who visit, your hands of peace be on Nick's family, your hands of creation be on all who are praying for Nick. Amen. <br />Love, aunt ChrisChris Ulvinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391784477882226849.post-15417543481008041192011-05-27T09:09:57.418-06:002011-05-27T09:09:57.418-06:00You are all so good at making magical moments.

He is in my family's thoughts everyday, but it's hard to truly express how you feel in words. I wish I had a picture of Eleanor when she was tickling Nick just a few weeks ago. I am so happy that you are able to spend such beautiful, joyful time together in the face of so many fears. <br /><br />Much love,<br /><br />Jenn, Tom and EleanorJenn_Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07956458252701918537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391784477882226849.post-57898913573885257532011-05-26T20:16:07.755-06:002011-05-26T20:16:07.755-06:00Heart breaking & beautiful posts, Lori!
