We were able to spend the day at GKTW...tracked down Noah's star, rode the carousel and enjoyed their Candyland party. Unfortunately his paving stone was not done yet, which was disappointing...but another excuse to come back again! It felt a bit out of place being at GKTW...like we were no longer part of the "sick kids club". And I couldn't help but feel so very jealous of all those families who still had their children to enjoy.
Our days spent at the ocean were wonderfully relaxing. There is just something about the ocean that is so peaceful and healing. I could stay there for a very long time.
We are now in the World, enjoying the Caribbean Beach resort which is beautiful and eating a ridiculous amount of food on the free dining plan. We are enjoying ourselves and spend many moments talking about the things Noah loved or would have loved here in Disney. There are difficult moments of course...a million reminders each day of how different our lives are now...things are far too simple. But there are happy times too and I am so glad that we came.

So happy that you are glad you went! Praying for you every day!
I can understand how 'far too simple' would be painful, lonely and empty. I'm so glad that you have this opportunity, and imagine that it must feel strange as you try to enjoy it. I think about you every day.
Praying for you guys daily! So glad you had the opportunity to go back, and praying that amidst the sadness of being there without Noah that you will be able to laugh and find some joy. You are in our thoughts and prayers daily, you are such an inspiration!
i am so happy to hear that you are finding joy in your days at disney. i think of you often.
Continued prayers for all of you. So happy that you are able to smile, laugh and remember all that is so precious to you. Missing you lots (oh, what are we going to do on Friday night?)
i can relate to the ocean. During my days of depression, i loved to go to the ocean. The sound of the sea and the smell of it is so healing. We love you. to bad about Noah's stone, but so glad you had a chance to go back. love mom
So glad to hear that the ocean has been your place of peace. Sorry to hear that Noah's paving stone wasn't there yet, I know you were looking forward to seeing that. Guess you'll just have to go back again!

I'm so glad you posted and so glad that you are having times of peace and happiness. I've been thinking of you this week.
We may be planning a trip back of our own - and I hope we'll make a trip back to GKTW. We may go in late February. If we go, we'll look for Noah's paving stone there and take pictures for you, if you like.
With prayers,
Alison
No paver?!?!?!?!? I am in tears. I can't believe it wasn't ready yet. :(
I am so glad you are enjoying your time. We love you and are praying for you every day!
I have been thinking about all of you Nichole. So glad that you are having some good times, especially at the ocean. I am sorry Noah's stone wasn't done. I think it is great that you are remembering all the good times Noah had at WDW. God bless you all!!!
Hugs!

Please know Nicole that we think of you often. I'm still so sorry about your pain and that there is no way to take it away.
My secretary is dealing with the loss of her child last year (at 15). Sometimes I still say the wrong things, but it isn't because the caring has stopped, but just because there are few words to express what we want to say.

beautiful pictures Nichole. I love the ocean too.
Aww, love the pictures, especially of Noah's star!! Your family is always in my thoughts and prayers!
