Nicholas J. Nelson

Dear Nick,

Geez. I cannot believe 2009 passed and not one word was written to you. Not having the internet at home has held me back, and I feel horrible about this. You are always in my mind, heart and soul and I think about you every day. But, I am sure you know that already.

I missed telling you happy 25th birthday. A day I cannot imagine not being able to celebrate with you. I am so heartbroken. I had you when I was 23, so I can only imagine where your life...

Hi Nick,

Well, another Thanksgiving without you. It saddens me so. I know you have Grandma with you, so that helps ease my pain.

Timmy is almost 8 and it's so hard to believe he was only 1 1/2 years old when you passed.

It looks like he has some artistic talents just like you. I am so very happy about that.

I just wanted to let you know how much I love you and miss you even more with each passing day, week, month, year. It, for me, has not gotten any easier...

Dear Nick;

I’ve been coming to your page for many years. I have been praying for your mom and family, but especially for your mom. I found your memorial when I was looking for a copy of my brothers obituary, we have the same last name. Anyway, in 2004, I registered you with find a grave. I would like to turn ownership of the page over to your mom. She can upload pictures to it and make any changes she would like or she can even delete the page. I have most of my family entered as...

Hi Nick !!
Well, Mom did it again. Got herself into a mess. Quit my job and looking into an adventure.

I miss you so much and have you on my mind constantly. Both you and Grandma. I know you two are together and watching over us.

This July will be 5 years. I feel the same now as I did when you died. Full of such pain and sorrow.

You will always be on my mind and in my heart.

Love you !

Hi Nickelodeon,

I'm sending four hugs your way for your Fourth year in heaven. ( I asked Grandma to deliver one for each year to kind of make it up to you)

We really, really miss you, but it makes it a little easier to bear knowing that Grandma is with you and that you are with her.

I know I'm a day early, but with this new job and going to the lake tomorrow, I didn't want to miss sending you a wish and our love.

Please don't think that we will ever...

Dear Nick,

My eyes are tearing as I write this to you. Tomorrow it will be 4 years since you were taken from all of us. The pain and loss has not faded. It never will. I love you so much and cannot bear living here without you.

The only way I've been able to continue on here is to keep pushing reality back into my mind. Of course I talk about you all the time and think about you many times during the day. But, I don't want to "deal" with this. ...

Happy St. Patrick's Day Nick,

All I can say Nick is that I miss you so much. My eyes still fill with tears when I think of you. Now I have you and Grandma gone.

I wish we could have a St. Patty's day drink together, now that you would have been 21.

I miss your laugh, your smile, listening to your music or just having a pizza together. I even miss arguing with you.

I'm sorry I couldn't decorate your tree this year. I bought the clover garland,...

Happy Valentine's Day Nick,

Another one without you. I miss you so much. This year though, you will be spending it with Grandma. I will not.

This was always a very special "heart" day for us. I wish we could be together.

Please give Grandma a kiss and hug from me and she will give you one from me.

You will never leave my heart or my mind Nick. My love still grows stronger for you every day.

I love you!!

Happy 21st Birthday Nicholas,

I kept thinking about how we would be celebrating your very special day if you were here. As it turned out, as you know, Grandma is in the hospital in critical condition and all I could really do for you was get you balloons at the cemetery and your tree at the park and send some up to heaven. When Timmy came home, he and Gramps and I sent more up to you and one is from Grandma.

I miss you so very much and it is hard to understand why you...
