Thank you Buggy :) It's something that has affected us and our loved ones (oh the nights they had to listen to me cry and pray and cry and pray) and without even knowing it Nick & Elaine became great examples of courage and faith and of absolute pure LOVE to us all. It's something that those of us in here who love them both will never, ever forget as it was truly one of the most inspiring love stories I have ever read in my life.
♥ Deb
Thank you all
My Lonestar...I'm always happy to see you here and I thank you !
Thank you all

I think if I were ever able to put the memory of two and half years battling this disease away from me, If I were ever able to erase the midnight reading, the suffering, the laughter, the inspiration, the tears..... If I could ever, I couldn't, ever, wouldn't, shouldn't and won't ever forget Elaine and Nick.
I love this place, (can't tell by how often I drop by....)
Funny that I got to pick a "best" answer!
I see a lot has changed.
Deb, your answer, like all the others, came from the heart. What I liked the most is that you focused on Elaine, even when you mentioned your own children, it was to say that they all knew who Nick was too! And I think your right, we carry Elaine and NIcholas in our hearts...
A quiet salute here in honour of Nick, a remarkable young man ... and in honour of his mom, what a remarkable pair - mother and son. Both - an enduring inspiration to all of us and Nick, never to be forgotten. I have always felt that when my son came along it was like God looked down and said "this boy belongs with this mom" and laid him in my arms, my heart and my soul. I got the same sort of impression observing the relationship between you and your Nick, Angel. You were the best mother he could ever have hoped for. I'm sure Nick smiles down on you often. In both the rain and the sun on your face, I'm sure he is there.
Hugs to you, Angel.

I just now saw this post......Angel we love you and are (at least I am) always thinking of you and your Nick!!
Always remember that he is at the Rainbow bridge, along with many, many others waiting for us there. I am a believer in the bridge.

Elaine,
I know that you will always cherish the time that you had with your son. You were both such hero's in my book as he left this life. I pray that you will be blessed (as Marcia said). Susan400

and every one of you the very best always.
Elaine
I’m not very good at things like this but want you to know I think of you and all that you went through often.
Thank you for everything you've done and continue to do here. Your bravery and Nick's are something I aspire to and hope I never need. As a parent myself, I was extremely upset and truly at a loss for words two years ago. Please accept my belated condolences.
How you managed to be so helpful in the face of such loss always amazed me.
Your compassion is an inspiration.
Peace,
OH
And thanks bug for reminding us.
Elaine, I'll always remember Nick's battle and your enduring strength and kindness. You both will always have a place in my heart. Those were sad, terrible days, but seeing the outpouring of love and support you both inspired will be something that we can all carry with us forever.
((((HUGS))))

Hi Elaine-
As Goofy said, you have been the model of grace.
I am thinking of you and your son nick, it sounds like he was quite a young man and he was lucky to have you by his side.
I know you will never forget, but I hope it gets a little easier and you have peace.
We are lucky to have you in our lives,
- Dave

You have always been the model of grace. I'm sorry for us that we don't see you around more, but that's probably a good sign.
Take care.
