It's been a tough month...
My mind can't help but relive "this time last year..." over and over again. Those days and weeks leading up to the end...had I only known then...had I only stolen more hugs and kisses, or taken more pictures...had I only taken the time to treasure all the mundane moments.
One year ago today, we headed to the hospital...never believing that this time would be our last.
On September 21/05 we were blessed with a beautiful son. Born with a chromosome 12q deletion (q15q21.2), the challenges were many...cleft lip/palate, complex feeding issues, developmental delays, failure to thrive, multiple infections, blood clots, asthma, sleep apnea, GI and pulmonary bleeds, TPN dependency and kidney issues. Noah embraced life and taught us how to love. On July 29/09, Noah's journey ended, leaving us on a new journey...this journey on the pathway of grief...
About Me
- Nichole
- I am mom to 3 beautiful children. I also work casual as a nurse. Our life is a crazy one, and nothing like we ever expected it would be. Yet, this journey has changed me and the way I view others. And it has helped us slow down and enjoy the most precious things in life. I wouldn't trade those lessons for anything.

Nichole, thinking of you, your family & your sweet Noah. May God be oh-so-near, and give you the strength you need to face each day.

My heart goes out to you. We met you and your family at OLEY in San Diego. My son Zachary is ultra short gut/tpn/omegaven etc.
You and your family are amazing. I am so so sorry for your loss.

I have been thinking of you a lot these past weeks, and remembering Noah. We went to Victoria Beach last week. I was remembering last year we left for Victoria Beach right after Noah's funeral, and I cried all the way there.
I pray that God would comfort you especially in these next few days

Nichole,
I have been thinking of you. The first anniversary of everything grief related is so difficult.... I remember my first anniversary. I pray that friends and family gather around you for comfort and peace.
Lots of love and prayers,

Praying hard for you right now. The first anniversary of Zeke going to be with Jesus was definitely some of the hardest times our family faced. Please know we are thinking of you and precious Noah.
Nichole, Brad, Kailyn & Joshua - May you find peace and comfort tomorrow as you mark the first year without sweet Noah. Bask in the sunshine of his memory and the joy that he brought you during his too-short life. Love you all...praying for you all...caring for you all.

Dear Nichole,
Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. May God be with you tomorrow and give you strength to get thru the day and the days to follow. I am still so sorry for your loss. Noah was a beautiful boy and even though I never met him, he has touched my heart deeply. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Hugs!
