As one of your counselors at Hole In The Wall Gang Camp, I just want to thank you for hanging with us this past week! You are an awesome kid and a super Camper and we had a whole lot of fun with you in our cabin.

I've got some photos of you, so if your Mom will send me an email address I will shoot 'em over to you....maybe you can post them here on your Page!

Keep being the sweet silly guy that we came to love.

Hi Little Buddy! It was so nice to swoop in and visit you while you were sleeping the other night and see your pearly white teeth! I know you were very brave getting all of that dental work done and I am very proud of you! Dr. Brown told me that she saved your tooth, so you'll have to put it under your pillow for me after you see her next week! Remember to brush, floss and use your fluoride...no giggling while you're swishing!!

Hi Nicholas,

I am happy to hear that you will be taking part in the Hole in the Wall Gang camp this summer. I bet you will have lots of fun. I looked at the Golf Fore The Kids web page and was so proud to see that little kids like you and Jacob are doing such a great job helping so many other kids and their families through fun activities like golfing. Too bad I won�t be able to participate in the June 28th golf event. Wish you a very happy birthday in advance. Although I will be not playing golf with you and your family on the annual fundraising golf tournament, I feel good that I will be working with doctors in Boston and learn a few things that might help cure some diseases in the future. I enjoyed meeting you at the Y on Family Fun Night. School will be over soon and summer vacation is right around the corner. Exciting, isn�t it? Hope you and your family have an awesome summer! Do you still play with those cool cars of yours? Wait till you drive a real car like I do now! It is so..o�o�. much fun! I still play soccer games using mini ball with my action figures! Being the youngest kid in the family allows you to play with action figures even at age 16! Don�t ever forget to be a happy kid.

Say hello to your mom, dad and sister for me.

Hello Veras. I got the school flyer about the tournament, and called Mrs. Osit. She probably thinks I am nuts, but I have a pretty good idea of what you guys have been through. My son is starting 2nd grade this year at Jacob's school, and he finished 3+ years of chemotherapy for leukemia 8 months ago. We just recently switched to CCMC because we had been seen in NY. I have been on CB for years, and know literally hundreds of people, including a dear friend whose son also has rhabdo. My thoughts and prayers are with you on this journey none of us intended. Please let me know if you need anything.

But IF it is, I hope this is the last of it. I want you to climb aboard that Limo Thursday and take off for Disney without a hitch. Have a great time, if I don't see you before then. Love, Becky

When we had two cats they usually said, "HISSSSSSSSS!" to each other. That's what I've been saying about WINTER. By the time you take your Make-a-Wish trip, perhaps Spring will have quietly flown in like a wonderful, cheerful, colorful, long-wished for bird! Enjoy yourselves!! Love, Becky

Dear Nicholas, WOW!! Your make-a-wish date is set. As soon as I read that, I put on my big Mickey Mouse Grin and waddled around the room like Donald Duck a few times. Is it obvious that the LONG winter has gotten to my brain?? I am SO GLAD you and your family can make these WONDERFUL plans for the almost-springtime. I think you will LOVE Disney World. Love, Becky

Hey folks,

I brought your happy holidays letter to work weeks ago in order to say hello to all of you. The older cousin has problems with email!!! Well it finally made it to the top of the pile and I decided to sit and figure this out. Glad to hear all is going well. Hope you are staying warm - now I know why the older you get the more you want to move to Florida. Nothing overly exciting going on here in the big city. Just wanted to finally send a hello to Nicholas and Kaeley as well as the both of you. Just think you actually gave me this email address when you came to town for the Big Apple Circus. Got to love the on-time performance. I will end now and hope I hit the correct button so you actually get it. Take Care and stay well!

Hi Nicholas & Kaeley,
I got a card from your mom today telling me all about Kaeley's new room and the Care Bears I sent. I'm glad you like them! Did you go and play in the snow today? I didn't have to go to school at all; my students were so happy! (So was I!) I hope to be able to come and visit you guys soon...I miss you! Stay warm, it's so cold outside! Brrrr!
Love,

Hi Nicholas - Tell your daddy and Matt that we really liked the dinner they brought us. I liked the corn bread the best and my brother liked the corn! Isn't that funny? We had to visit the Clinic today. I made finger puppets! I had fun hanging out with you at the Christmas parties last month. I hope we can get together and play sometime soon. Your Friend, Jacob

Dear Nicholas, I am sorry the mere thought of "doctor day" gives you the collywobbles. And it's no wonder...you have toughed out a LOT of doctor days for a young guy. I am glad there were no vaccinations this last time. Who wants to feel like a pin cushion, if it's not necessary? About the COLD...if you need a nice hot waterbottle along your backside, I could send Badger over to spend the night. He is quite the crazy cat, what with all the FREEZING nights and days. He wants to curl up with me, then he wants food, then he needs a drink, then he wants to play "sting" or to chase his tail, next he THINKS he wants a noseful of cold air, only to shrink back, when I open the door and the air hits him. Or the snowflakes dust him. No sleep for the Mama in the family!!! I am ready for SPRING about six months too early. Stay warm and well, all of you. Love, Becky

Uncle Joe has the ice skating rink up and running.........maybe you could come up soon and skate with the kids........we got some new hockey sticks too. I don't skate much myself but I make very good hot cocoa for those who come in cold. I will talk to you soon. Love Aunt Carol

Dear Steve, Kim, Kaeley, and Nicholas, What a WONDERFUL addition to your web site!!!! It gave me a natural HIGH!!! You deserve all the good things that are unfolding in your lives. You've payed forward for all of them by your courage and good intent and undying humor in the face of some pretty nasty odds. The best part of our day today was having Nicholas and Kaeley drop by with the Girl Scout cookies. I say that "cookie in cheek" and wonder HOW I could think of eating one more sweet after the holidays. I should just skip the cookies and remember that Nicholas and Kaeley were the SWEET part of the day. Blessings ALWAYS. Love, Becky

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers everyspring. He sends you sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, he listens. He can live anywhere in the universe, and he chose your heart. Because he knows you are special.

Dear Nicholas, Kaeley, Kim, and Steve, Christmas came to Ron and me this morning, when Steve called to say,"NO MORE DOCTOR DAYS"!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have steered your boat through rough and uncharted seas for over a year now. You NEVER gave up. And you have landed on the shore of health, wholeness, and continued hope. Keep migrating toward the center of that territory. We commend you for having kept faith and for having been a source of inspiration to us. YOU ARE OUR HEROES!! Celebrate to the MAX. (I hope you saw/felt the imaginary cartwheel of JOY I did for you in my heart! And heard our prayer of thanksgiving.) Love, Ron and Becky

Hi Nicholas, I am sorry that I haven't writen in a while, work has been keeping me very busy. I am still in Worcester,MA and I will probably be here for a while. I still think about how strong you are and how great the news is that you are getting. Keep that wonderful smile and tell everyone I said hello.I am back in Iowa for a couple of weeks for vacation and having fun with my boys. They still have your picture hanging in their room and ask about you when I'm home. I hope to see you again sometime and also ask your dad when the golf outting will be taking place. Have a GREAT holiday season and I hope that tree is so bright that I see it in Worcester,MA.

Dear Nicholas, You were especially in my thoughts yesterday, when you were having your "doctor day." I am glad things went well for you, My Brave One!! I was right across the street in Hartford Hospital trying to be as brave as you are! I am home again and hope to see you outside sometime before Thanksgiving. One of my special blessings this Thanksgiving will be that YOUR treatments are about over! Love, Becky

I hope Santa brings you a special gift this year but I know that your family and friends will agree that you're finishing your treatments and getting all better is the best present of all!!!! Hope to see you all during the holidays when you come to visit Aunt Carol & Uncle Joe and the kids!

Dear Nicholas,
I am so glad that your treatment is almost over. You've been very brave throughout the past year and, soon enough, it will all be a fading memory. Kim and Steve, your latest entry really struck a cord with me. Time has absolutely crawled for us during the past 2 years. We just want to end this terrible time and start living life again. Every day has a new meaning now. Enjoy watching Nicholas grow up and thank Kaeley for being such a big help when she was needed the most.

South Windsor, CT - Friday, November 14, 2003 10:43 PM CST

Dear Nicholas -

You are a very brave boy who has taught Mommy and I many valuable things over the past 12 months. The most valuable lesson for Daddy has been to be strong even when facing major adversity and to shelter yourself with the love of your friends and family. The power of this love has helped all of us through this year and will sustain us in our futures.

While we near the end of our treatment journey, I want you to know that I love you and I thank you for being strong because there have been many times over the past 12 months that your strength has been the only thing to get me through the day.

With all of my love to a very special boy......DADDY

I am the angel that sent you a Halloween package. I went to my mailbox a little while ago and found a lovely thank you card from your Mom. I was so happy to hear that you enjoyed the "treats" that I sent. I was sorry to hear that you had to spend most of the day at the hospital. I'm glad that my package arrived on a day when you deserved a treat! From all that I've read, you sound like a wonderful and strong young man. Keep up the good work and when things seem their worse, know that there are lots of people thinking and praying for you. I think you are VERY special and deserve all the good things that life has to offer. Stay strong!

than usual. I'm glad they plan special things for you to do there. And that you do lots of fun stuff at home. Have a great weekend!

Dear Nicholas, We hope you and Kaeley had a wonderful time on your Mystery Trip!!! Some day on the way home from Kaeley's bus stop, do tell me what your favorite thing about the trip was. Probably something dare-devil,right?? And I will show you a photo of our little Hazel sitting up all by herself!! That probably doesn't sound like much of a feat to you, but it's pretty good for a baby. Stay well!! Love, Ron and Becky

Hey Nicholas.......I hear that you are enjoying school this year......that makes me smile! Not too much new with us......the kids are busy with school and sports. Greta is playing fieldhockey again this year and really getting into that. Hannah is managing the high school fieldhockey team so she practices with the jv girls everyday after school and keeps track of the book at games. Luke is running cross country.......well they call it cross country but he isn't really running across the country......he does go pretty far though....HAHA! Larissa is very happy at her new school.......she likes the bigger university and is making lots of new friends. She is playing fieldhockey too.....and studying hard. I know she will make a good teacher when she is done with school. We miss you......I realized yesterday that we haven't seen you since your party........that makes me sad. I hope that both of our families can find a day to get together soon. Hi to Kaeley and Mom and Dad too. Talk soon. I love you. Aunt Carol

Hi Nicholas,
It was so nice to meet you and your family a few weeks ago when you came to visit us at the ballpark. I hope you had as much fun as we did! Tater was excited about you and Kaeley helping him with Tater Tot...you both did a great job singing and dancing with him for all the other kids! He would really like one of the pictures your mom and dad took of you and Kaeley that day...maybe you could send him one. We all think you are such a brave little boy and hope you, Kaeley, your Mom & Dad will be back to visit us soon! (Maybe next season you can race Tater around the bases!) =0)
Love, Michelle

Dear Nicholas, Hope you will soon be over the sniffles. We wouldn't want to have to call you, "Nicholas Snuffalupagus"!! (forgive the phoenetic spelling--I haven't watched kid TV in years and have lost my edge!) We are still hoping to hear about your first days back at school and about all your new friends there. I think they would be amazed, if you ever showed them some of your special cars that light up, talk, whirr, and speed around. Stay healthy!!

Hi Nicholas,

It was very nice of you to visit us in our new class room. Mrs. Terri and I were feeling very tired after lots of moving and arranging since past week. So�o�o much stuff from our old room had to be moved to the new room!!! We needed to see a friendly face who could make us feel good and tell us that we were doing a good job! Seeing your mom and you gave us the boost! Mrs. Terri and I stopped complaining; feeling tired, and finished putting together the new classroom. It looks great. We have put your name tag on the cubby you chose and your Apple/School house decoration is hanging from the ceiling in the spot you had picked out. See you on Friday 'OPEN HOUSE DAY'.

Hi Nicholas- I enjoyed meeting you and your family on Sunday at the Navigators game. Tater told me after the game that he really enjoyed your company and he thought you were a brave little boy. I am glad that Kaeley, and your mom, dad, and grandpa had fun at the game as well. I am looking forward to next season so you can come back to another Navigators game.

Hey, Nicholas. I hope you are feeling a bit better by the time you read this. I think of you guys often and wish you the best as you fight your battles. Tell Kaeley that I've been thinking of some books for her to read. She might like the A to Z mysteries by Ron Roy, which some kids I know love. The Honey Bunch series by Helen Louise Thorndyke is wonderful (although it might be hard to find). David Adler's Cam Jansen series used to be one of my favorites, too. Maybe she'll read some of those to you. Lots of love and prayers,

Hello Nicholas,

I am back from my vacation. We went to Wildwood Crest, New Jersey for a week. The beach was so--o--o big! But the water was too cold. That did not stop Saagar, Priya, their cousins, uncle, and dad from swimming and boogie boarding! My sister and I made huge sand castles on the shore. Every night we went for a long walk (2 miles each way). I was exhausted but did not want to come home! Then I thought of you and other kids who will be coming back to school soon. It would be silly to come to the class room and have no teacher to teach, right!!! Or may be not!!! Can't wait to play with you and hear your giggles. Right now Mrs. Terri and I are going to the school as students to learn new things to be good teachers. Our teachers do not let us play. All we do is listening, read and write�no play! Can�t wait to come back to our own school where we can play with you and your new friends.

Love, Mrs. Pandit <tharunam@yahoo.com>

It sure hasn't been the same around the Y this summer without your smiling face! It gets lonely around here when Nursery School is on vacation for the summer. I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer vacation...maybe it will stop raining one of these days. The only good thing about the rain is that it makes exciting sailing in pirate ships. Say hi to Kaeley and your mom and dad for me. I hope to see you real soon!

And meeting your friends and family was a total joy. I awoke in the wee hours of the morning today worried that you had eaten some of the bean salad, Kim.

Hi Nicholas. Guess what? The other day we went to a park in Stamford, Ct. Boy was that a long trip, but on the way we past a road called Nicholas Ave. You're pretty famous to have a road named after you. We also saw lots of wild turkeys on the side of the highyway eating. I thought they were pretty silly for being so close to such a busy highway. It reminded me of a joke. Why did the turkey cross the road? To get away from KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken). That is why there is no turkey on the menu. And they say turkeys aren't so smart! Love, Mrs. Terri

Hi Nicholas,

It has been a long time since I said hello to you! Sorry. I have not forgotten you. Things got little hectic at my home. Priya has asked me to say hello to you and she sends her invisible hugs to you, did you get it? Saagar is sending a magic supper power to you to see if it will work on keeping your medications down better and not make you feel nervous. Do let me know if it worked or not. Say hello to dad and mom and lots of love and butterfly kisses to you and Kaeley.---Mrs. Pandit
p.s. tell dad Thanks for taking my graduation pictures. they are beautiful. I will send them soon by e-mail.

Hi Nicholas. I was thinking of you today. We have finally had some sun for more than one day in a row. You must be outside busy as a beaver with playing! My son Brandon got out of school last week and has been busy riding his bike and digging holes in our yard. I asked if he was digging to China but he said he was farming. He is loving the sunshine.We went to the beach on Father's Day and Brandon was in the water for two hours. He's crazy! Take care and keep smiling.
Love Mrs. Terri

Dear Nicholas, Thanks for calling to me yesterday to tell me about your car washing project! You did a really nice job getting the car clean...and yourself, too. And what a nice, gentle river you made run down the street! I washed off Hazel's stroller tires in it! Ron and Kent will see you Thursday at the golf tournament. Hope the sun shines!! Love, Becky

Hi Nicholas,
I was just checking in to see how you're doing. With school almost out up here, I'm hoping you and Kaeley and Mummy & Daddy will come up north pretty soon to visit Molly & Katie at their pool with Aunt Carol and the kids! They just opened the pool and are anxiously awaiting warm enough weather to go in. Tell everyone I said "hi" and I hope to see them soon. Keep up the GREAT job! "Auntie Bug"

Howdy Nicholas! Brigid has made up a new joke just for you all by herself...here it is.."Knock, Knock." (You say -- who is there?) "Gobble, Gobble" (You say - "Gobble, Gobble Who?) "Well...what type of bird are you...a TURKEY or an OWL?" She was VERY proud of this joke and said she hopes it makes you "laugh like mad"! Remember a good smile and a big belly laugh makes every day better. See you soon, Love Brigid, Erin, Molly and Mrs. McGrath, too!

Hi Nicholas,
We notice that a lot of people talk about the weather when they write a message to you. The weather here in Virginia has been as wet as it has been in Connecticut. Today, however, was absolutely gorgeous, in the mid-70's with a nice breeze. Uncle Bill mowed the lawn, and I had all the windows open to do a good house cleaning inside. We hope it was a nice day in Connecticut, and that you were able to play outside. Gee told us that you and your Mom had a visit with her. She always looks forward to a visit from you and from Kaeley as well.
Keep on truck'in with those treatments!
Love,

Hi Nicholas,

I haven't been on your site in a while, so I just did some reading to catch up.

I didn't know you could fly!!! (zip line) -- I guess you really are a "Super Boy", aren't you??!! That sounds like it was a lot of fun to climb up and zip down.

We all know how "super" you are in taking your medications and treatments, too -- keep up the good work!

Dear Nicholas,
I am so glad to hear that your medical treatment is going very well. After reading your mom's journal, I see that your weekend is going to be full of fun activities with the whole family and many-many friends. So many people stopped by, and especially kids who love cars and trucks were admiring your art work on Fine Arts night. I know you and your friends are graduating soon but I am looking forward to having you in my class next year. Let me tell you a little secret, us teachers are nervous too when we get a bunch of new kids coming to our class! We wonder sometimes if they will like us. I know I will have one buddy in my class whom I love so much and he likes me too! (Can you guess who that is? you, of course!)
I will see you on Monday

Dear Veras, Just reading about your camp experiences brought tears of joy to my eyes! You all deserve to have the happiness and the release from the usual stresses you found at Hole in the Wall Gang Camp. And all the things you made and were given there will remind you of the caring people at the camp for a long time to come. I firmly believe that when things are tough, God sends us those very people we need in our lives to light our lives and to mend our wounds. And you may very well be the ones who ministered to someone else at camp unawares. God Bless!! Love, Becky

(And thanks to your friend Brigid for the pizza joke...now that our "kids" are grown up, I miss those crazy little jokes. Even Little Hazel is growing, too--she's a month old today. A smile from her would do in place of a joke for now.)

We've been fortunate at our house--we've seen a lot of you the last few days. The Rockcats game was really fun. I know the girls had a great time. Brigid loves spending time with "her boy".
I thought I would pop on the website to see what I could find out about uploading pictures; I told your Daddy that I would help pull some pictures off the digital camera. We'll figure it out sometime this week.
Be good.

Nicholas and Kaeley, Glad to hear you are home from your spring trip. It's a good thing YOU saw snow...if I saw snow now, I think I'd "see red"!! Enough is ENOUGH!!! I'm hoping the sun today and the rain tomorrow will help our grass to turn green like yours. At our house, sun=golf for Ron. Take care. LOVE, Becky

Nicholas
We have been thinking about you a lot recently - hope you are having a good time in Vermont with your family - today it's raining where we are up in Mass but after the long winter of so much snow - it doesn't seem that bad. We had some catching up to do and read through your journal .... you are such a brave boy. We would love to see you and catch up with mom & dad. We know that Jesus has you wrapped in his arms. You take care and look after your mom,dad and sister. With much love

Hi Nicholas, Happy Easter to you and Kaely and your mom and dad. My son, Brandon, played a trick on us this morning. He came into our bedromm crying and saying the Easter Bunny didn't come to our house. But guess what? He did and my son said April Fools. The Easter Bunny had left him a basket behind our rocking chair and it was filled with guess what? No not candy, but cars. They were toy cars, not the real ones that Nicholas S. gets in his house!
Take care and have a great vacation in Vermont. Don't bring back any cold weather or snow. We need warm spring sunshine.
Love, Mrs. Terri

Hi Nicholas: Nanny and Poppa Vera here. Wishing you a fun filled Easter. When your Dad was your age we would have Egg Hunts at his grandparents house and they continued through the years, we would have them for Larissa, Greta, Luke and Hannah,also Jonathan and Jason at our house.One of my sisters would drop quarters as she walked around the rooms and they would scamper for them... Lost of fun........and many fond memories. Wish kaeley a Happy Easter for us.

Hi Nicholas,
I hope you are feeling better. Like always, you are so brave to go through such tough visits at the hospital. I hope to see you and Dad on Monday for 'Dad's day' at 10:45. If you can come, that will be great. If you and dad can't make it, we will have a special day for you and him some other time. Dad will get all his great gifts that you made for him and you can still sing those special songs for him. When you come to school, you will see that I finally hung all our project decorations up on the ceiling! It looks beautiful. Our butterflies have said bye-bye to you before flying away in nice warm air.
Say hello to Kaeley, mom and dad for me.
Love,

Hi Nicholas,

We had a great time with Gee and Pa when they visited us in South Carolina. We were lucky to have many sunny days, where we could all be outdoors. This week it has been raining every day, and spring has really sprung. Lots of daffodils and tulips are in bloom, and the grass has grown so much we will need to get a goat to nibble it down. Wouldn't that be a funny thing - to see a goat in our front yard nibbling away!

Last night we watched the UCONN Huskies women's basketball team play a great game. They beat the Tennessee women's team. They are a good team also, but UCONN has some young players who play like they have played a long time. It's fun to watch a game when the score is so close.

Hope all goes well on your visit this Friday. We will be thinking of you, and wish you well. Hugs and hi to Kaeley, Mom and Dad. Tell Kaeley we received the magazine order form; we'll fill it out real soon.
Love, Uncle Bill and Aunt Biz

They had first told us we would get 6-10 inches of it but it seems to be settling at six this AM/ Don't forget to send Nanny and Poppa an Easter bunny drawing, have Kaeley do one, as well. Poppa is going to be 70 years old on the 23rd of April-Aunt Patti and Jonathan are coming home for the event. Jay can't come, has a new job and can't take time off right away. Hope you are having great days,, Aunt Carol also has those huge dimples that you have, did she tell you that? LOve you bunches. Nanny and Poppa.. .

Great day today. Hope you and Kaeley get out to play-since we are suppose to have a few not so sunny days coming up. Poppa and I were just talking yesterday and do you know it has been over a year since we last saw you up at Aunt Carol's. Ask Daddy to bring you and Kaeley to see us -before you start you second segment of chemo. The ride won't be too bad for you it is about 1 1/2 hours. We, also, have a kamiski motorcycle that you can drive----it moves about and you can both sit in it at once, good toy for the spring. We love you a bushel and a peck

Dear Nicholas,
I am glad to hear you do not have to go for treatment this week. I hear from your Dad that you were the only one that did not get sea sick on your trip to Block Island !!! I hope each day gets better for you. Summer will be here real soon. I hope. (Are you sick of this cold and wet weather yet???). My dog, Pepper, and my cat, Sammy, hope you feel a whole lot better soon. By the way, I think your Dad is afraid of small animals. Ask him about the Ferret at the Wilbraham Peach Festival (last August) and the little tiny dogs that someone brought into work the other day.

When I have icky medicine to take, I close my eyes and swig it down FAST from a tiny cup--then I can have something BIG I like for a "chaser" to take the taste away. After that, I can do something FUN!! See if that could work for you, my friend. Stay well. Hi to Kaeley, the Rabbit Artist!! Love, Becky

Dear Veras, We did not see at sign of you on Vinetta Drive this weekend. We HOPE that meant that you were off enjoying your little get-away. Last night was our Agape dinner at church. So MANY people came to ask us how your family is doing. It touched my heart!!!! Everybody wants the best for you. LOVE, Ron and Becky

Hi Nicholas,

I hope you're feeling better this weekend. Sorry to hear that you were sick a few days ago. It's supposed to be nice and warm the next few days, so I hope you are feeling well enough to go outside and play in the nicer weather.

Do you believe we still have huge piles of leaves at our curb? After all that snow finally melted, all the leaves we put out front showed up again. Unfortunately the snow plows were spreading the leaves all over our yard and down the street (into neighbor's yards -- ooops!). Well, now we have a huge mooshy pile of leaves with lots of bugs & goop. I hope the people from the town who come later this month to suck up the leaves don't mind bugs and stuff! Aaron put on his winter boots and waded through some of the leaves and puddles that gathered -- yuck! I bet that sounds like fun to you, too!

Take care, and keep on being so brave!

Love,

The Chaffees

Hello Nicholas,
This is Saagar. Just wanted to say hello to you. Mom showed me your car drawings and colored paper car project. Wow, you are a great artist! Keep up the good work.
Ask your dad or mom to help you go to www.planethotwheels.com site and you can play a car racing game. I will also send in a computer car game called whiplash for you.

Hi Nicholas,
I noticed that your Poppa and Nanny mentioned that you like motorcycles. I have a big, black motorcycle that I will ride to your house and show you in a few weeks. I am a friend of your mom and dads and hope to visit soon. Your Dad tells me how proud he is of you and what a big boy you are. He also tells me how brave you are when you go to the doctors. I hope you feel better soon. Tell mommy and daddy that Auntie Ann and Uncle Ed think about you all the time. Hopefully we'll see you soon.

Dear Nicholas,
I work with your Dad at Wingate. I hear about you often but your Dad works hard and does not have a lot of time to chat. He gave me your web site address so I thought I might check it out and get to tell you personally that I do really think you are a BRAVE kid. I hope you are feeling better today. From reading previous notes to you, I see that you really like hockey. My son (who is now 18 years old!!!) was a Goalie from the time he was 6 or 7 until he was 15. I spent a lot of cold nights watching him practice and my weekends watching him play. He has several SHUT OUT patches and that makes me very proud. I am proud of you and I know your parents are very PROUD of you. Hope you feel better soon.

Dear Nicholas and Kaeley, WOW!!! Look at that sunshine today. Better than more snow, right? We know a 'possum came to our back deck last night to eat birdseed. How did we know? Because we could see his footprints in the snow...and the long straight line, where he dragged his tail. No wonder Badger's fur stood on end! We hope you will enjoy the sunshine and your little break from treatment, Nicholas. Your bravery makes us so proud!! Kaeley, I just looked again at your Valentine note this morning. I am AMAZED at how well you write!! Keep thinking SPRING! Love, Becky

It is supposed to be a nice weekend so that will be good. We are going car shopping. Sorry to tell you dude but we are trading in the Dodge van..........I hope you like our new car as much as you like that red van.

Hi Nicholas,
We are glad you are doing so well with your treatments. The snow down here is melting fast, and what we will have left in the street will be lots and lots of sand. The men from the county came around the other day and said they would be using a big truck with a vacuum cleaner on it to pick up all the sand. Keep up the good work. Hugs to you, Mom, Dad and Kaeley.

Hi Nicholas,

Well, it's felt like spring the last few days, despite that big snow on Friday. Did you get to make any snow angels in all the snow we've had this winter? I love to do that with Aaron and Josh. Just think, in a few months, we could try to do that in the sand at the beach! Ever make "sand castles" in the snow and "snowmen" on the beach? It makes me laugh to do that.

Have a great week! You are doing a great job being such a brave boy!

Uncle Bill and I have been thinking about you a lot. We're pleased to hear you are doing so well with your treatments. We have lots and lots of snow in Virginia. Uncle Bill has shoveled the driveway several times, and we have enough snow piled up along the edge of the driveway to make a snow fort. I remember when Gee and I were in grade school in Brookfield; we made snow forts and played in them for several days, until the snow melted away.
Love to you, Mom, Dad and Kaeley.

Someday, you and Kaeley must come to see my WHOLE TUB of special rocks. In the meantime, know that Badger and I are just across the street cheering you on, too. Even my friend Eleanor Berger, who lives in Massachusetts reads your site, prays for you--and is amazed by your courage.

Hi Nicholas,

WOW! This is so neat that you have your own web site!

Aaron and Josh had a lot of fun with you and Kaeley when your family came to play at our house for the Superbowl. Maybe you guys can come over again soon!

It sounds like you weren't too happy to have to go to the hospital for treatments the other day. You know that your parents love you so much and they want the best for you. So, they need to bring you to the hospital once in a while to make sure that you stay healthy. Maybe if you start to feel upset about going, you can tell your mind to be happy by thinking about something fun, like going to Disney.

Mr. Chaffee and I just brought Josh and Aaron to Disney (Magic Kingdom) this last week when Joshua had school vacation. Josh and I drove one of those race cars in the Tomorrowland Indy Speedway. I know you're looking forward to doing that, too! Josh can fill you in on all the details of how much fun it is.

Hang in there! You're doing a great job and we're all so proud of how brave you are! Keep up the good work!

Love,

Peggy, Don, Josh & Aaron

When our son Kent was small, he would have loved to see that happen, too. Take care and enjoy cuddling up on this cold day! Hugs from us, too. Love, Ron and Becky

My name is Lisa and my son Jake had the same cancer you have - he also was not happy, just like you were the other day, when we would go to the hospital. He LOVED to play games and that was one way we made it a fun time at the hospital. Your mom and dad love you so much and it is great to hear that you are already several months into treatment.

Hi Nicholas, your mommy just told me about everything that you've had to put up with lately. You are such a brave boy! I've missed coming over and playing with you and your sister, but I guess you are doing pretty well without me. So, have fun, stay brave, and when I come down I'll be sure to visit! (the fabric stores in CT are much better then the ones in MA, so you never know when that will be) I miss you!

Oh, Nicholas, Thanks for being a "good scout" in going for your treatments. Ron and I are proud of you! It's a good way to earn something from the treat box...and sometimes a pizza, too.

Tomorrow is s'posed to be The BIG Rain. If I start work on an Ark, could you and Kaeley collect the animals two-by-two? How many of the same kind of stuffy animals do you own? I have one cow, one javelina, one flying fish, one frog, and a bear. Which is good, since I am not a very ambitious ship builder!

Stay dry! And happy!! Love, Becky

How wonderful for Nicholas to have his own website and how nice that we can all be part of his life. Prayers are powerful and having a team like this, works wonders.
Blessing to all of you.

Hey, buddy. I was just talking to your Dad and he told me about your guestbook. Pretty cool.

Before I left for work this morning, Brigid had her mommy put a picture of you and her in a special frame. You are definitely pretty special to her. Brigid tells me that vacation is o.k. but she misses seeing you at school.

Anyways, I hope you're enjoying your visit with your grandparents.

Hi Nicholas! Did you get lots of snow? Here in Virginia, we got so much snow that there is no school for a week! If you stand really tall and hold your hands up really high, that's how much snow we got! Congratulations on your Web page! You're a special boy! Love, Cousin Laurie

And it's only been a few days. I'm praying for all of you....stay strong...and Nicholas when I come back over... we will have another night of cuddling and Kaeley can read us books! The usual night!! I love every single second that I spend with all of you, and can't wait to see you again...soon!! Thank you Kim and Steve for our comforting talk that night also, I truly appreciate it. You are all family to me, and I thank God to have all of you in my life. You're all in my prayers and thoughts all of the time....I love you all very much.

Dear Nicholas, What a positive outlook you have! We're glad you found excitement in watching the snowplows yesterday. Mr. Burr is VERY TIRED of shoveling! And I am tired of being stuck inside. When the grass turns green again, I hope to see you out playing with Kaeley. In the meantime, your web page is a wonderful way for us to stay in touch. Eat your veggies, stay well, keep making good wishes :), and God Bless your whole family. Love, Becky
