My precious baby boy, my first born. I miss you so very much. I miss your laughter, your humor, your big heart, but most of all your hugs. I always felt so safe and loved with your arms around me. Nick I hope you are at peace now. I'm glad you have no more pain. I hope you are up there sharing that beer with your Dad and all of the family we have lost recently. I saw you Friday and you looked so relaxed and finally happy. I kissed your lips and told you how much I loved you, I hope you knew how much. You have given me the most precious gift any son can give. You gave me Amber! She will always be loved and taken care of. I will make sure she grows up knowing all about her Dad that loved her so much. I promise to be there at all her important moments in her life. We had the most amazing service for you on Saturday. All of your family and friends were there. The bag pipes were playing for you sweetheart. It was fun and casual and had everything that you had wanted. I had so much fun hearing the stories heard by all that loved you. What I learned from everyone was what I already knew, they loved your sense of humor, your smart aleck sense of humor but most all they knew your gruff exterior was just a cover over that huge kind heart of yours. Your brother is having a hard time Nick, please watch over him, he loves you Nick. I miss you so much but I am thankful for all the amazing memories we have shared. I love you and just relax and be happy now! You will be forever missed and always in my heart.
Love forever,
Mom xoxoxo
