Today, I want to thank each and every person that celebrated my Son's life. Thank you so much!
Thank you to the always reliable immediate family, who were by my Son's side every single day he was in the hospital, and have yet to leave his side.
Thank you to the extended family and dear friends, who are helping in so many ways, and willing to do anything to support my beautiful baby.
Thank you to the friends who we do not speak with as often as we would like; your support gives us strength.
It is not easy to stay strong. It is not easy to stay positive. A very dear family member said to me, not too long ago, that he saw me smile for the first time since Nicky became ill. This is because we found something that gave us hope.
Today, because of you, we again have hope. Today, we can smile.
I held my baby as he fell asleep tonight, and kissed him goodnight, and I will dream he will defeat this disease. I will dream he will remain seizure free, and continue to coo, and move his arms and legs.
Thank you for making these dreams possible. Thank you for making tonight possible. Thank you family. Thank you friends.
Love, Dad

Nicky's Life,
Nicky was born out of love one day to be broght upon this earth in God's own way.
One day this child took a flight only to find out he was fighting for life.
His parents and loved ones care for him so much, so we pray to you Dear God for the miracle of your touch.
Our dreams for Nicky's future is for a beautiful life for this little loved one will not give up his fight.
