Happy belated BIRTHDAY Nic. It has been a long time since you went away. I still remember the day your mom told me. She has done an amazing job if getting the word out and have so many others about this horrible "game" that people play. Thank you Nic for giving your family so much love and the beautiful memories of life you made with them. It still breaks my heart that you are gone so young. Thank you Nic for keeping them strong. Every time someone tells another of the tragic stories of the loss families go through from playing this game I hope and pray that your wings are spreading wide with knowledge that your passing may have just saved another from joining you in heaven. Your mom gathers strength from your love and memories to continue telling others about you and how you went to heaven. She is an amazingly strong and beautiful mother, woman, and friend. Please continue to hold her in your angel hugs that she may continue like the rest of us to educate others. You have undoubtedly saved a number of life's because you went to heaven. Love and hugs to you and your family/friends.

October 7, 2013

Happy B-Day Nick, I love and miss you so much. I had a great visit with you, and obviously you know our Finns lost Sunday. Twenty-five wow, how time flies, yet the pain of you not here with us still hurts. Love you, DAD.

Hi Nick,
I think of you everyday because I have so many reminders of you around me. Today I got the message in my email about a new signature in your guest book. I visited it and as always read back to the beginning, it always floods me with conflicting feelings of both heartwarming and heartbreaking. I included the picture I love to see every morning in my office, We all miss you and find comfort in knowing we will see you again.
Love Auntie Blanca.

March 12, 2013

I can not believe that it took me this long to enter my story about the day I went to visit you on 1-29-2013. I had a great visit with you as always and then went to watch Melinda play basketball against across town rival. Sandra Day won the game 23-22 and your sister scored 8 pts and had the game winning free throw to ice it. On such a sad day in ours lives it turned out to be a great day for all that are left behind. I love and miss you everyday and still talk to you about ten to twenty times a day, thanks for listning, LOVE DAD.

January 29, 2012

Nick ~ Today marks 7 years you have been away from this Earth. It seems impossible that I could live this long without you here with me. I have learned many lessons through this Journey. God has given me the grace to see things in the true light. He has shown me the compassion of others through my journey. If I needed someone he sent them to me. He has taught me that there are real things that change your life forever that you cannot control. He has helped me to accept the things I cannot change. He has given me the strength to pick myself up and not feel sorry for myself with what has happened but to be grateful that I was chosen to be your mother and you spent all your Earthly time with me. I believe you should live each day with no regrets and love your family and friends as if it were your last day. He gave me the passion to talk to others and tell your story as it may save another child's life.

There is no measure big enough to explain how I miss you. I talk to you everyday and believe you watch over us. No one can take away the memories in my heart... and YOU will forever live in my heart my sweet boy....
Love ~ Your Mom xoxo

January 29, 2012

January 29, 2009

I am sitting here tonight reflecting back on today and the last 4 years. My sweet boy left us for Heaven 4 years ago today at the young age of 16. I find it hard to believe that I have not heard my boy talk to me, felt him hug me or seen his smiling face in 4 years. I have had to learn to talk to him and wait for him to respond to me with some kind of sign and sometimes when I just need a hug I sit in my chair and close my eyes and ask him to hug me... sometimes I believe I feel it. I can still hear his voice in my head and his smiling face is a burnt image in my mind and heart that no one can rob me of. It might sound strange.. but it is how I get through life today.

When I started this walk four years ago I had no idea what to expect, I didn't even know if I could make the Journey. When it happened it was sudden and it was like a train wreck in our family and all of our lives. I spent the first year just trying to exist... I couldn't be there for anyone at that point, I could barely function and it was a struggle to get up each day. Nick's sisters were young and it was hard for them to understand. Counciling was the Best thing for them. Year two.... I thought I was getting somewhat together and wanted to more forward... however we incurred another loss, not to the same degree but it added more drama. Year three was better for all of us and some happiness had found it's way into my life. Year four... still trying to keep it together and more forward... Life has brought many new things to us... however the reality and the pain do not go away, you are just better at coping than you were in the beginning.

Two years ago I wrote a blog and mentioned three life lessons I had learned. Those are still true today:

1. Be greatful for every moment you have with those you love.. be patient, pay attention.. be loving... be kind... kiss them... hug them... Don't have any regrets. God has lent them to you and be sure to thank him for that.

2. Keep your faith... it is so important... God sends 'angels' to help you...just when you need it the most somebody pops into your life and you just say WOW how did that happen... Thanks Jesus..... just ask and he will carry you through.

3. Forgiveness..... Forgive unto others... as he forgives us... Hard to do sometimes but it can free you.

Today is Nick's Angel day... the day he went home to Jesus Christ. I have no doubt he is okay and that gives me some peace. I miss him like crazy and wish he would be sneaking up behind me right now to scare the stinkin pants off me!! ~grin~ he would be 20 now... so maybe he would be bringing home his girlfriend instead ~ lol I would chew off my right arm to have 5 mins with him right now. But I guess I will keep my arm tonight because in reality that cannot happen. But I do know he will live on in my heart FOREVER!

I miss you son... more than words can express. Kiss Kiss my Sweet Angel Boy... I will Always LOVE YOU!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Love ~ Your Mom

Hello. First I'd like to say to Nick's family that I'm so sorry for your terrible loss. I'm a 7th grade teacher in Houston, TX, and I attended a workshop on "The Choking Game" this week because I want to make sure I'm educating my students about the dangers and consequences of this deadly game. I had no idea how deeply this workshop was going to affect me. I want so much to spread the word and get the message out to my students that this is not something they should be doing for fun. I just wanted to let your family know that because of the work you've done and the warnings you've put out there for others, many lives will be saved. I will do all that I can to share your message. May God bless your family.

Came across this site and I want to let you know how sorry of your loss. I too lost my grandson Cayden Wince from this tragic deadly game. This Sept. I along with family and friends will be handing out pamphlets and bracelets in our community to remind everyone not to play the game and to make the parents aware of what some of the signs are and to please talk to your child no matter the age. Hopefully the memories you both shared are so close to your heart.

Your Daddy is bringing Grandma here tomorrow to live, we will do our best to make her comfortable and keep her happy and positive. Thank you for keeping an eye out for Kassie and Andrew, you have done a great job keeping them safe and sound. I am proud of all that you have accomplished in your new world, there are so many changes and all the awareness to this game being made that I know it is saving many lives. Thank You, we miss you and love you as much as you know we do.

February 29, 2008

Hello. My name is Suzanne. Yesterday on the news I learned about the “choking game”. I had never heard of it before. In search of more information, I went on the web, and came across G.A.S.P….which led me to your son Nick’s website. What a beautiful boy he was. I can’t begin to imagine what you and your family are going through in dealing with the loss of his life. My husband and I do not have children right now, but we are currently trying. I was sitting here looking at Nick’s website, sobbing…because I know how hard it must be for all who love him. I then realized that this could be anyone of us, going through this for a child...if the word about this lethal practice, is not spread. It scares me to death, to think that my future child may come into contact with something as deadly as this, and not know how dangerous it is, beacuse they haven't been educated about it. I constantly worry about all of the things that could happen to my future child. I want to stay on top of things such as this, so that my husband and I will have the knowledge to teach our child, the school system, and other children about things such as this “game”. If there is any way, that you know of, that I can be of any help in getting the word out …please let me know. We live in South Carolina, and I have never heard anyone here talk about this before…and that is what is so scary…I don't think people know about it. My prayers are with you and your family. Your son is beautiful and obviously very loved and missed. May God give you the strength to make it through…until you are together again.

Hi Nick,
I dont really know what to say except I still think of you all the time. College isn't all that it's cracked up to be hah promise. Well I wish we would have actually gone to that movie the weekend before you left... you owe me buddy. So I still talk to Mr.Blackman sometimes I invited him to graduation last year but he couldn't make it. You are such an amazing person Nick I will always remember you & your stupid songs you made me listen to everyday, the silly pictures you drew of me, and when you tried to make me feel better about falling in front of the whole class. I remember you bought a shirt with a saying to make fun of me with mr. blackman but i can't remember what so ever what it said. You are so crazy & I cant wait to see you again. miss you tons nickkkk.

To Nick's family:
I am truly sorry for your loss. I am so happy to see the many people who have learned from his story & I cannot thank you all enough for educating so many people. It can happen to anyway Nick was seriously the most hyper and happy guy I've ever known. I was truly blessed to be so close to Nick freshman & sophmore years. He was always there for me no matter what the situation, even just to make fun with Mr. Blackman. You have raised such an amazing person and I'm sure his sisters are just a sincere and caring! You were all so strong during the service & you have turned a tragedy into knowledge and I cannot tell you how amazing that truly is!

Best Wishes,

Donolyn Streich (high school friend of Nick's)

I lost my grandson Cayden Wince on 1-31-07 of the choking game. He was 12 years old full of life. It is so hard for me everyday. My son and wife along with myself are spreading the word by giving bracelets to any child that wants one that say " IN MEMORY OF CAYDEN WINCE..STOP THE CHOKING GAME" also handing out pamphlets to schools and parents to read about the game.> Prayers are with you for being so strong. Hopefully I will be able to be as strong.
God Bless your family
