Friends, cherish loved ones that are here for tomorrow is not promised.
Make every moment count.
Please keep my friend Nadia & her family in prayer as they grieve sweet Slav and endure this same journey that no parent wants to be on. Slav is a warrior. Our boys were never able to meet in person but they knew each others journey. Nadia would help me to help Nathaniel even when she had a kid going through his own battle. Selfless love across countries and friendships so selfless.
Today is a tough one for us. Three years. How can it be? We miss our precious Nathaniel. He was such a funny, sweet, kind, sensitive and thoughtful human. He was very mechanical. He loved to fix things. I have this memory today of when he was going through cancer and yet felt the need to get a screwdriver and tighten up my bedroom door k**b after he noticed it was loose. He always enjoyed taking things apart and figuring out how they worked.
I look forward to the day we see each other in heaven. That is truly one of the things I am comforted by most. I try most days to just live life and not go too deep in thought about how great I miss or love this kid. I guess I know that if I did I wouldn't be able to pick myself back up.
Thank you to all who supported Nathaniel and us through everything. It truly is a love that goes beyond this horrific disease. To know so many people loved and cared for Nathaniel and our family on such a compassionate level goes beyond words and time honestly. We feel those blessings every day and do our best to do the same for others. Thank you for being everything we needed and providing for us during it all and thank you to those who always continue to check in. Losing a child is something that is deep and stays with you forever. So it is appreciated so very much.
Prayers to all those affected by this awful disease. We always think of and feel for even those we have never even met. 🙏
