I met Nick thru his girlfriend my daughter and he was one of a kind. He was a person I warmed up to right away as he was funny kind and had a big heart. Never did I see this coming. I spoke to him many times toward the end and he just was not the kid I met he had given up and was in disagreement with his heart and mind. He didn’t deserve to have his life cut short. When he first started getting sick he fought us and didn’t want to go get checked out and I think that made a world of a difference but his stronger then life persona wouldn’t let him show weakness by going to the doctor. I wish so many things would have went different for him as he was way to young to not be able to experience all life has to offer. He loved his grandmother very much and I truly believe she was all he was worried about at the end. He didn’t want to make her heart hurt. He told me once he would jump off the highest mountain to make her happy. His time in Florida with us was short but his memory will live with us forever. When he told me he was going to marry my daughter I was worried for him at first lol but I knew if anyone could make my daughter become a better person he was the one. I was so happy to know he was going to be part of our family. Then the news about cancer came to us and I was so heart broken as I have seen first hand what that awful disease does to families and it sucks that it is still not curable these days. Nick will always be in our hearts and thoughts and we wish we had more time to see the man he was destined to be. Rest easy my friend and maybe we will see you on the other side.
