Letters can be a conduit of healing. Especially when deep and profound words are expressed. Nick was a young adult who continually faced death with insurmountable odds and setbacks. His robust perseverance transcended impending darkness. Yet, he captured the world with his humble and inspiring heart throughout his five-year journey with Ewing's Sarcoma. For families whose loved ones transitioned, a written artifact is comforting. When we embrace grief while we empower our healing heart, we remind ourselves that 'once was' memory is forever etched of 'what is' in our present moment. In celebration of these poignant and beautiful letters that follow my first published book, A Journey of Unconditional Love, they remind me over and over how much Nicky's spirit was an inspiration to all who share the inner pain, joy, and loving memories within these pages.
