Many of you only know our sweet Nick through my blog postings, but you have still become such a special, special part of our life journey.
We are in the process of designing Nick’s tombstone and have a very special request.
We are asking for words or phrases descriptive of Nick from all of you who knew him or met him through my writings. Nick lived a powerful life in 13 years. I want anyone who strolls through the cemetery to know Nick by all of his wonderful attributes. He truly left a legacy.
I have sent this request through email and Facebook, but I also wanted to send it through my blog because you mean so much to me too.
If you want to know more about Nick’s life, please take a few minutes to read about his life story by clicking here. This will take you to his website.
Thank you for your time.
In Him,
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 
I never met Nick, but I have been following your Blog for quite a while. I feel as though I can sense the essence of Nick through your writing.
Nick had a heart of gold, unstoppable faith, and a beautiful soul. He graced this earth for 13 short years but has left his mark in our hearts for eternity. God bless you and your family, Tammy.
The first comment would say what I would say. Also I think of pennies and thumb-up. We don’t have pennies here in Australia but if we did I would think of Nick and his wonderful spirit everytime I saw one. I still have the ones I found in England in my coin purse. I just can’t bear to part with them. Because I found them so unexpectedly and they remind me of Nick and also of God’s provision.
I need that provision all the time and God’s grace especially today on the 3rd anniversary of my husband’s death.
Love you
God’s Chosen One

So… I’m late in getting my thoughts to you and wasn’t sure where to post them.
Nick is:
special
beautiful
a warrior
strong & courageous
one of a kind
and when I think of him… I always here the line from the song… “Pennies from heaven.. for you & me”. Nick is a Penny from heaven… special and one of a kind.
I love you sweet Tammy…. always and forever.
Nick….humble, courageous, competitive, caring, life-altering, God’s child, forever with us!
Love you always,
Sue
Tammy, you have never heard from me but you inspire me daily. The first thought that came to me today while thinking of Nick and the impact he had and continues to have on your family and all of us who came to know him through your writings is this….”the power of ONE.” One strong and faithful boy and one strong and faithful God. Thank you for sharing your life with me.
God-loving, life-living, all boy!
