Today marks three years since my precious Nicholas crossed over into the arms of Jesus Christāhis true home in heaven. He would be 28 today, and though my heart aches with the weight of his absence, I find deep comfort in knowing exactly where he is and how gloriously alive he truly is now.
Oh, Nick, my sweet boy⦠I can only imagine the joy exploding around you up there. Heaven must be more breathtaking than any dream we could ever have here on earth. No more pain, no more tears, just perfect peace wrapped in the radiant love of our Savior. I picture you running through fields of endless light, laughing that big, infectious laugh of yours, surrounded by beauty we canāt even fathomāstreets of gold, rivers of life, and the constant presence of Jesus Himself. Youāre finally free, completely whole, and I believe youāre having the time of your eternal lifeāworshiping, exploring, reuniting with loved ones who went before, and probably telling everyone about the crazy adventures we had down here. You always had that spark; I know itās shining brighter than ever now.
Your sister and I miss you terriblyāevery single day. There are moments when the house feels too quiet without your voice, your jokes, your hugs that could squeeze the worry right out of me. We talk about you constantly, share memories that make us laugh through the tears, and hold onto the photos and little things that still carry your scent or your energy. The hole you left is huge, and it always will be.
But even in the missing, we are so incredibly thankful for Jesus. He carried you home safely, He holds you now, and He holds us too. Because of Him, this goodbye isnāt foreverāitās just āsee you later.ā We trust His promise that one day weāll be together again, and that hope keeps us going. Thank You, Lord, for the gift of Nicholasās life, for the love we shared, and for the assurance that heās safe, loved, and celebrating in Your presence today and always.
Happy heavenly 3rd year reunion my precious Nick. We love you more than words can say, and weāre so proud of the man you wereāand the joy you are now in eternity. Until we meet again⦠šāļø Forever my love, heart, & soul⦠Mom
