One of the ministries of Nick’s foundation is to provide wooden book display cases filled with children’s books to doctor’s offices and hospital waiting rooms across America. These cases will also share a little about Nick’s life as well as about the hope that comes from a relationship with Jesus Christ.
For the next two months we will be having a book drive for this outreach program. If you have any new or used children’s books (for any ages) that you would like to donate, please contact Trish Brammell through her blog (www.trishbrammell.blogspot.com). Just post a comment on any of her blog postings and she’ll get back to you. She, along with Jenna McGuire, are heading up this ministry, and I am forever thankful!!!
I am convinced that Nick’s love for reading was a gift from God as he was able to “escape” into the wonders of books so many times when things were tough.
If you know of a doctor’s office or hospital that would be interested in having a Nick’s Nook, please let us know! We are taking orders at this time.
Special thanks to the Carter County Vocational School for your time and talent! Also, thank you, Tony Collier, for building our model after hearing about our dream.


In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at 

Tammy,
What a beautiful heart you have. What a wonderful way to honor Nick!! I pray many lives will be touched and great big smiles will appear on many children’s faces as they too read these books and “escape” for a time. I pray that God will continue to use you to bless others are walking your same journey.
Here in Charlotte, I have a friend who lost her son to brain cancer a few years ago, and I so wish she knew the Lord like you do. He is at work, though, in her life, and I trust one day she will find the peace and hope that you have found In Him and His Word.
Blessings to you,
Wendy
