Nicholas, our sunshine continues to warm our hearts with his strength remaining as a source of strength in so many of us; his energy still serving as the source of energy to drive change; and his enthusiasm, joy, & endless passion for caring about others as the lens we look through cherishing his words, actions, and the flavor of his love.
So as we try to understand why our son, Nicholas, is no longer physically here, we are realizing that his "love" and teaching-through his six years-will never leave us void, although painfully we miss him so dearly. We have always talked and took action toward trusting and believing in God's words…His promise to protect, shield, guide, provide, and love Nicholas.
So as we trust and believe, we are considering God's promise as perfectly performed in the way that God needs Nicholas, His son too. What Nicholas has done and is doing really is God's work as experienced through the testimonies of all of you.
We hurt so much wanting to make sure Nicholas is in a beautifully lit place-warm, comforted, full of joy, and full of love. So as hard as it is missing our little sunshine, we trust and believe that God is delivering His promises to Nicholas and will deliver His promises to us and all of His children as well.
We hope the celebration of Nicholas' life and continued celebration through his legacy-the Nicholas Colby Fund-provides all of us with the sharing of the love of God each of us needs…and provides additional memories as a tribute to Nicholas that will forever live in our hearts and souls.
