I think I should just jump in the water here and write something.... anything about life as we now know it.
We had a beautiful service for Nick and about 300 people dropped by to pay their respects, which was amazing.
Christmas came and went. It would have been torture without family. Nick's brother John left surprises under the tree as did Sister Ellen. Unexpected extravagant gifts that made us feel loved and not quite so alone. They all went back to the East Coast on Christmas Eve morning and it was hard to say good bye. So many goodbyes... too many goodbyes.
My brother Kenny stayed with us for a few more days until my friend Hudson came to take care of us.
Because of all of our wonderful friends and family we haven't been alone and we've felt stronger because of it.
I miss Nick so much and it's scary facing life without him, but somehow there is a strength and courage that makes it possible to get up each day and move about. There is a purpose in raising our three sons, in carrying on as Nick would want us to.
Now I think I better get started on our thank you notes and acknowledements because you people have been so good to us, it's going to take awhile!
Thank you for reading, thank you for caring-
Kimberley
Kimberley,
ReplyDeleteI think of you, Matthew, Christian and Lucas several times every day. I wish there was something more I could do to help. Just know you are not alone, ever.
Love,

Kimberly,
ReplyDeleteHi this is Carol Miller. I have spoken to several of Nick's friends that were unable to go to his service. We really would like to honor Nick and your family. We were wondering if you had some type of video or presentation at Nick's service. We were thinking about gathering a group and do a lunch or dinner together. We would love for you and the boys to join us. Maybe in the Tacoma area so it would not be too far for anyone. Please tell me your thoughts. I can be reached at 206-915-8413. My heart goes out to you! This has to be such a difficult time.....I am praying for all of you! Carol Miller
