Nic Goes Home for the First Time!
I remember when we had the first fundraiser in Gravenhurst, and wished so desperately that Nicolas could have been there to see his town come together for us in such an incredible way. He wasn’t ready back then, but he was definitely ready for Nic’s Night on May 31st. This was a fundraiser arranged and organized by his High School, Bracebridge Muskoka Lakes.
First Stop-Shelby’s Chip Wagon in Gravenhurst!
We surprised the students and Staff on the Monday before the fundraiser, that we had the go from the Dr’s at Lyndhurst to make the trip north. Nic was very keen on seeing his friends and teachers before the summer holidays, and it was just an incredible day for us both. When Nic rolled into the school, there where tears, cheers, laughter and just pure positive energy that took me by total surprise.
Nic was at this school for a year. This wonderful school with it’s teachers, staff and students care about my child. Even after all the grief he gave them in his short year there! Oh the grief! They went over the top with this event, as well as the other fundraisers they have done. I did not see this one coming. Should have worn waterproof mascara. 🙂
Thank you so very much for making this a day Nic will never forget.
There is a special person who looked after Nic from the time he was hurt on the hill and he still continues to support and care for Nic, by attending our Fundraisers. I want to thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts, we will always remember that you where our Angel that Day.
It was a bittersweet day in Bracebridge. While I was at the Fundraiser, I received the news that our home on Parker’s Point, the house I built for my boys was sold. It still stings. It is not so much about how kick ass beautiful it was :), it is more about losing our base. Not knowing where that base in our lives is challenging, especially being an over planner.
One day at a time my friends…and that is truly a tough one.
I can see the love for Nic in all these photo’s…wow he has such a dynamic smile what a surviver…he gets that from a very strong Mama!
Hi Tammy & Boys – I am so very sorry, my heart aches for you. It is so unfair when he was doing so well.
Plus, you had to move in all of this. Could Nic’s doctors confer with Doctors in larger Hospitals
like the Mayo Clinic or Montreal Childrens’ Hospital , that have more experience with this kind of problem.
Someone needs to come up with better answers to why he is having so much pain.
Give Nicolas a hug from me. Much Love from Grandma Marie
