You came across my mind in the middle of the night out of nowhere. I used to think about you allot harrison. After all these years bro I've come to understand the gravity of your remarkable story. I remember me, you, and Logan would always get together as much as we could to play soldiers around the yard, everything star wars, Legos, Dodge ball in the bonus room lol, and jump on the mist trampoline we made! When I was really good at golf we all had a plan to save our money and buy a big mansion with a pool, driving range, and racetrack. I remember this so well because we all believed it would truly happen. The 3 of us were quite the stooges back in day; you guys were the younger brothers I never had. I really took pride in looking out for you and Logan because you guys treated me as a big brother. A childhood memory I have come to understand and I am honored to have met you harrison. I just turned 20, 6 hours ago. You visited me in my thoughts, I appreciate the birthday wishes brother.

Will always love you,

Hey buddy,
It's been a while. Aunt Krissy sent me the link and I stumbled upon this page. But I'm up late writing a paper for one of my classes and it's about you. The paper for this psychology class is about losing a loved one. It feels like so long ago that you left us and I'm overwhelmed by so many emotions trying to wrap my head around the situation. This paper has me thinking about loss and the fact that we did miss out on so many great years together. I wish you were still here with us navigating your own life's path, but I am constantly reminded by the fact that the impact you made on my life in a short 8 years was more than most could do in a lifetime. It is almost impossible to put into words how much you mean to me, my family, and anyone who was lucky enough to have met you. I should probably get back to this paper but please keep looking down on me and my family. We'll get to play with Lego's again at some point.
Love and miss you buddy,
Ryne

I know that you must check here still, I know that you must wonder if any of the rest of us do . . . and I want you to know that we do. We think about him and his amazing courage, and we think about you and about yours . . .almost 2 years later, and it is still remarkable, his time here still a gift , and you, still an inspiration--I have a new friend going down this road, her son is not quite 3 and has been diagnosed with Hepatoblastoma--she doesn't think she can "do this". I sent her here, hope you don't mind but I think it will help . . .looking forward to the Gala! thinking of you and saying prayers for peace . . .always!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts w/ everyone. I will never forget your sweet little boy, he made my daughter Kellie's 1st day at MSKCC easier. He was kind! Kellie will remember him. She now has had a reoccurence of her cancer and I hope she shows the "newcomers" the kindness she learned from Harrison.
Good Luck on your new journey.

Gina and Mike,
It was an honor to know and love Harrison even if it was for just a few short years. These entries have helped all of us stay close with him when we were not across the street from him. Thank you Gina for helping us connect with him in this way as we all watched him battle this horrible disease. We will now turn our attention to the Harrison Nichols Foundation but will NEVER forget such an amazing boy. He taught us so much as did you, Gina. We have witnessed courage, strength, perserverence and faith like we have never seen in all our lives. Thank you for sharing him and this journey with all of us.
Much love to you and Mike.

I can only imagine how difficult it must have been to write that final entry. I can't thank you enough for the opportunity to share Harrison's journey over the years through your entries. Each journal piece brought me a bit more into your world and I was rooting for you, crying with you, laughing with you, praying with you, hoping with you and sadly, now grieving with you. Thank you for sharing Harrison's extaordinary life. He will always be in my heart.

To My Dear Friend,
I could not hep but to think of you all week. I cannot begin to imagine how difficult tomorrow will be. I know in true Harrison style, he will send you his signs as he is always with you. You are such an amazing woman. Whenever we speak of you here or think of you, one thing comes to mind-what an incredibly beautiful peron and mother you are! You are the definition of what every mother wishes she could be. I have the utmost respect for you! Tom will be runing with Fred's team this year and Harrison will help get him through! Sending hugs, love and prayers on this very special day! Love to your mom as well....another gem. With respect and love, Debbie, Tom and Alexa

Hello my dear friend from the past...I must sadly admit I have sat here crying as I have read about Harrison's passing. I lost contact with you, but I never stopped thinking of you, Mike and especially Harrison. I found an old email that included Harrison's page and I was hoping for a different outcome. You are so gifted with your words even in your darkest hours, and yet I can't find any words to express my sorrow for your loss. I always knew you were special, but Harrison has really brought out your true gifts... being his mother has been one of your greatest! What a remarkable mother you are ... I'm sure Harrison hand picked you from Heaven. I hope and pray that you feel all of his love and it brings you peace on Mother's Day. I would like to extend to you my Mother's Day gift that my 5 year old son gave me today. He created a huge sunflower pasted on green paper with his face in the center and printed below was the following ... A Mother's Beatitudes
Blessed is the mother who understands her child, for she shall inherit a kingdom of memories.
Blessed is the mother who knows how to comfort, for she shall possess a child's devotion.
Blessed is the mother who guides by the path of righteousness, for she shall be proud of her children.
Blessed is the mother who is never shocked, for she shall receive and know confidence and security.
Blessed is the mother who teaches respect, for she shall be respected.
Blessed is the mother who emphasizes the good and minimizes the bad, for her children shall follow her example.
Blessed is the mother who answers questions honestly, for she shall be trusted.
Blessed is the mother who treats her children, as she would like to be treated, for her home shall always be filled with happiness.
You and Harrison's life will be celebrated by us on Mother's Day 2009. May you continue to be blessed today and always!!!

Isaiah 40:18-31
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

That dream must have been the ultimate. I also believe that it was Harrison's way of telling you that he is always with you (which I'm sure you already know) and undoubtedly you are with him. Happy 10th Birthday Harrison. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you all always.

The pics are priceless and we love the story about the whale...I love what you wrote about uncharted waters. There is a family here and the grandmother looks just like Rose....We miss you guys very much. I hope that every day is finding you guys a bit more stregnth, I know Feb and March must be incredibly hard.

All the Choates and Hoxies are thinking of you all today and wearing some sort of green in honor of Harrison. I wish we had a Kobe in PA, but I guess it's not a chain.... I hope this morning's service went well and I hear from Sheila that the 1st grade bake sale was a success. I'm so happy that is continuing after I left. It is such a beautiful birthday for Harrison (65 degrees and gorgeous sunshine)!!

I do not know you or Harrison yet I follow your story. I read this entry and I cry real tears for you and your family and for my own family. On March 28th my niece Rachel (whom we lost to brain cancer in August) should be turning 11. We will gather and wear green (her favorite color), eat her favorite foods, release green balloon and indeed gather sunflowers. I send you all the love and hope a stranger can. Thank you for sharing Harrison's beautiful spirit with us all.
Happy Birthday Harrison!

I volunteered in Harrison's kindergarten class at Davidson Day three years ago. I was a freshman at Davidson College and decided to volunteer because I was struggling with homesickness. I assumed volunteering in a kindergarten would simply help keep me busy and I didn't realize how much I would love every hour I spent at Davidson Day. The students in the kindergarten class especially Harrison truly brightened my days! Harrison was such a bright and cheerful student - one of the few kindergartners who never tested my patience. I just wanted to let you know that I will be thinking of Harrison tomorrow!

Your words are not only eloquent, heart wrenching and beautiful-they are real. You have many gifts, but the most precious one of all is being Harrison's beautiful mother. Have an extra piece of chocolate cake with green icing for me and of course, one extra non-alcoholic (wink, wink) pina colada. We love you guys, especially our Harrison.

I too will wear green- it's funny how our boys just loved the atmosphere of the Japanese Hibachi. I have been thinking of Harrison for days knowing his birthday is approaching us. Anthony and I are going to start growing a sunflower that we bought in a small potted kit. I bought it with the intention of opening the kit on Harrison's birthday. We will celebrate his life, his love, his friendship always.

Mr. & Mrs. Nichols,
I had the PLEASURE of meeting Harrison at MSKCC when I worked there after college. There are no words to describe his infectious laughter and witty personality!! All of the children at MSKCC were very special to me, Harrison was uniquely special. Gina, your warm yet strong persona was one I admired for your stength and dedication. I too was going through a cancer battle, I lost my Mom August of 2004 to colon cancer. I CANNOT know what the loss of a child is..however, I think it is beautiful the way you celebrate (Michael's) aka Harrisons life! On his one year anniversary take solace in knowing that one day you will meet again! That reunion is something to look forward too but live today celebrating him!! May God bless your families, I remember Grandma coming from NC was an event! Oh so many emotions as I think back to those precious babies! May Gof Bless you and continue to give you strength to endure!!!

Mike and Gina, I am so sorry we did not make it to the service. I really wanted to come and bring Casey & Austin as we still talk about Harrison all the time. I did not bring them to the funeral becuase I was such a wreck and I was not real sure how to be strong for them. This mass would have been good for them. However, Tuesday nights I have to work late at the office and I totally missed that it was this week and did not get home in time to go. I am sure it was lovely. The kids and I will be at mass this weekend and be sure to add a special prayer for you both and for Harrison. Your families experiance has helped me teach my kids such great life lessons. Please know I think of you often and always keep you in my prayers.

Valentines Day was always a good day for us folks at MSKCC- I have some of the best photos taken there on Valentines day and I can recall the ones you have with Harrison.
I love you Harrison! You are missed dearly-

Gina and Mike-
Shower a nine year old boy with angel tree gifts, put up the lights and the reindeer, choose Harrison's favorite ornaments for "his" tree and believe in your hearts that Grandma is right and that he is part of the Christmas magic this year. This season is about all of that, something that Harrison always knew. . . but mostly it is about love . . .something that Harrison never lacked. We love you both and wish for you a holiday season filled with only the best Christmas memories. Thanks as always for sharing with the rest of us the miracle of Harrison and the magic that was his journey.

I always love your entries and how real they are. I have been thinking of you all nonstop as always and will be getting a package to you asap for Harrison's tree. What an amazing idea. i wish I could just take a wand and swipe all of this pain from you all. It is so not fair when bad things happen to good people. We are gearing up for scans next week, I will be hugging you in my mind as I aimlessly walk through the halls of Sloane wishing we were there together having coffee while we wait. Your whole family is with me in my heart everyday not just Xmas. I am missing Harrison as always and know he is watching over us next week. Love you guys

We have never met but my brother-in-law and sister- in-law (Spencer and Chris Ackerman) have told us much about Harrison. In August my 10 year old niece Rachel Lee died after an 11 month battle with brain cancer (www.4rachel.com). Our family shares your families pain. Harrison's spirit has touched even those of us who did not have the pleasure of knowing him. Congratulations in running the marathon. "Imagine a World with no Cancer"...In deed I can.

long island, ny usa - Tuesday, November 4, 2008 6:42 PM CST

I can never just READ your page...I feel every emotion...you bring me there with you in the moment. I thought about you all week and Harrison as last Halloweeen I watched him front row and center bring life to the ninth floor. He was swollen from the steroids, but he looked as beautiful as ever with his vibrant smle and his zest for life. I always was in awe of him, as I am of you.
I cannot imagine what it was like to run the marathon yesterday, but I do know that Harrison was with you EVERY step of the way.
Tom wants to run next year and has begun training already. I wish I could say I was ready, but physically and emotionally-I am not there yet.
Thank you for being you, Gina. Thank you for your strength, dedication and honesty. Hugs from 'our team' to yours-ALWAYS. Love, Debb, Tom and Lexi

I've been thinking of you all week as all the morning shows have been gearing up for the marathon! I was actually going to email you tomorrow and wish you luck and then I got your beautiful update. My heart is hurting for you as I could barely read the entry thinking about your trip, but then I smiled with all of the memories that you include about our favorite warrior. Cracker barrel is a fave of ours too, now I will never think of even going to another one without spending a lil extra time in the giftshop and sitting with some lemonade a lil longer. I am so proud of you and can't wait to hear about the race. i am thinking of you always and praying for yours and Mike's and families healing. There is not a day that goes by that you are all not in my thoughts...Good Luck this weekend my friend...run the good race just like Harrison did and know he is cheering his mommy on~ Love you~

Thank you for helping us to understand what Harrison went through and what you are going through. We hope that you keep thinkg of him and breathing with him everyday!

Last night we were at church and they were playing one of the hyms from Harrison's funeral service. Our daughter Jenna, (who went to school at Davidson Day) asked where did we hear that song before? I told her from her Communion. She recognized it more from Harrison's service.

You are doing great- keep breathing- picture Harrison cradling you this time and helping you through it. That must be right where he is.

I wonder if you realize that one of Harrison's greatest gifts may have been allowing his Mom a forum to share her thoughts and words and use them to inspire others . . . . thanks as always for the perspective! Promise you will start the book after the race . . .!

I can not tell you how much Harrison is in my thoughts. I recently saw the most beautiful "sunflower field" and told the people I was with all about him. He is not only in our thoughts but in our conversation as a family. He is prayed for nightly in our home. Just wanted to let you know that we too miss him terribly. We love you,

Gina and Mike, Harrison has been on my mind alot lately. I have a friend with their little boy (Just turned a year) in All Children's Hospital in Saint Petersburg, Fl. He has Hurlers Syndrom. Was diagnoised at age 8 months. He had a bone marrow transplant on August 15th. He is coming along with good times and bad. But he is a fighter. His name is Liam Larrow. When I check his caringBridge page and while I write to him and his parents I think about Harrison and the times I signed his guest book.I wondered if you still updated his site. So tonight I checked. What a great story you have written. We have never met, but I am Dorothy & Dennis Watley's Sister, Mary B. When I saw Logan about a month ago and he told me about Harrison coming to visit him while he sleeps. It gave me cold chills. To be so lucky for him to have Harrison to come and check on him like that. I know it is hard for Logan as it is for everyone but I think Harrison knows he needs to keep intouch with Logan to help him get through all of this and let him know that he is alright. What a wonderful son you have as you said Life and Death. What an Angel. Thank you for the encouraging words you have written and still write. I will check back again.
Love to all

Gina,

Such a positive perspective and I appreciate that you were selfless in sharing this with others. Due to our unfortunate circumstances we often gain so much more than others as to what really matters in this short time we are here on earth; some folks live their entire lives without really knowng which is sad.

So happy to read you'll moving forward in a positive direction with life.

They found out about it last September and in less than one year she is gone. She was only 10 years old. She had 3 siblings. They are really hurting and I can not truely understand their loss or yours. I just pray often for god to bring you all peace and love.

I am just a new lurker, but I would like to offer my sincerest condolences on the loss of your sweet Harrison. Your writing is so beautiful and honors the memory of a wonderful little boy. As a mother of a little boy also, I know the depth of the feelings you will always have for Harrison. Something to consider might be putting your writings into book form; the world would surely love to hear all about Harrison and this would be yet another way to honor his memory indelibly. Thank you for sharing your son with all of us, friends, family and strangers alike. Harrison will truly NEVER be forgotten.

Hello Gina,

I got this poem in the mail the other day and it was perfect, so I wanted to share it, because I know Harrison and Joshua is sending it to us.

Dear Mr. Hallmark

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear, a rather strange idea, I see everything from here. I just popped in to visit your stores to find a card. A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine, except that I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven. She is still a mother too, no matter where I reside. I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she's cried.
I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know, that though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so. She talks with me and dreams with me; we still share laughter too. Memories-our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?
My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight. She writes poems to honor me, sometimes far into the night. She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells. She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.
So you see, Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth, I must find a way to remind her of her wondrous worth. She needs to be honored, and remembered too, just as the children of earth will do. Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you'll do your best. I have done all I can do; to you I'll leave the rest. Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me, until I can do it myself, when she joins me in eternity.
Happy Mother's Day to All the Mothers
Anne-Marie

Love, Christine Young (Angel Joshua's Mom)

Our language is far too feeble to accurately express my admiration for your strength and deep sorrow for your loss. I commend you for choosing emotional health in this trying and painful time. I know that you and Mike are away taking in the tropics. It is my hope you and Mike find a moment's peace and that your hearts begin to heal. Happy Mother's Day. Sincerely,

I know you'll feel Harrison's presence...and I truly hope that brings you some sense of joy to overpower the profound sadness I can only imagine you've felt. You are constantly in my prayers.

Hi Gina,
I've been thinking of you all week. Although we only knew each other for a short time and I wish we met under different circumstances, I am blessed to know you and your beautiful family. I've told you before that I think you are a one of a kind mother. Look at Harrison, that says it all. We all know how special he is, but he was 'taught' so much of that from you. On Sunday, I will be sending you hugs, isses and prayers as I do every day. I know it will be a difficult day, but I also know that Harrison will come to you in some form. I have no doubt about that and I bet you feel it too. For the boy who coined the phrase, "Sometimes you have to believe in the unbelievable", I do! Team Moore loves you guys and as my lovely husband said earlier-Harrison left a lasting impression and he will NEVER be forgotten! Love to all of you. Hug your mom for me-another A+ mom in my book. Love always, Debb, Tom and Alexa

Dear Gina and Michael,

What a beautiful and touching story- thank you for sharing with us. Harrison has indeed made such a difference in all our lives and will continue to do so. Gina, this Mother's Day I hope at some point you can smile and know that God gave you the gift of Harrison---not just for eight ( almost nine) years but for eternity and you will be reunited again. You are the BEST mother and have always been a role model for me and I'm sure countless others. Surely you will not feel this raw pain permanently. The Bible says," Blest are those who weep and mourn for someday they shall laugh". Someday Gina you will "laugh".

Love you lots---I will see you when you get back and again a big thank you for all your help this weekend. Love, Kim

You are the living breathing essence of what it is to be a mother. My heart will grieve with you this Mother's Day as you talk to Harrison..Be still for moments and feel his presence as I am sure he has something special for you on that day. I look forward to doing our part to ensure the legacy of our sunflower lives on. The story by his classmate, Jake, is profound! These little ones surprise me constantly with their wisdom, capacity to love and empathize. All the love and wishes for strength and peace are sent to you on this Mother's Day and all others. Thinking of you and Mike always.

Harrison's outlook has and will continue to be our guidance in our life and struggles we have with Brady. His message of slow but steady is one we have accepted with Brady because of Harrison. As you once said, how could we be so lucky to have been blessed to have Harrison in our lives. Harrison has taught me to be the best mom, Bobby to be the best dad, and Brady to be understood...no matter what his disabilies are and will be...Harrison has taught us no matter what, to always fight with a smile on our face, no matter how painful or tough it is - it will be ok...In our hearts always, we love and miss you Harrison....

I always admired your family when I would be with you in the clinic. Harrison was such a pleasant young man and your entire family was there to support him every step of the way.

I remember being so very impressed with your family and especially with Harrison and his personality and fight. (such a sweet smile when I told him that I had wanted to name my baby 'Harrison' but since I had a girl it didn't work out). I have thought of the Nichols' family so often since those visits and sent so many prayers your way and continue to do so today. I pray comfort and strength for your family. I thank you too, for like the Oughton's you showed by example what family, love, determination and dedication really mean in this world today.

Being that she is a confused 4 year old she wanted to call him and sing; I told her that he is having a party with Jesus!! She asked if we could invite Jesus and Harrison to her party (how cute)!! After I said that I finally got a smile on my face, because I know he had a wonderful bday celebration!

Happy 9th Birthday to Harrison today. Today I thought about all of the yearly Harrison birthday bashes that we were able to attend. He did love a party and every year he always had a great one, all for him. I remember his 1st birthday when he sat in his high chair and had at least 40 people (or more) surrounding him. It seems like a couple years ago, NOT 9 years ago.

We all feel so blessed to have been a part of his sweet life. My children will never forget him and ALL of the GREAT times they had with him. We will always remember the culdesac with all the boys dressed in army on their 4 wheelers and Harrison on his gator. I will always remember him with the boys running through the yards firing guns at each other. Most of all, we will remember his beautiful spirit, he was always such a joy to be around. It's funny to look back at his life and see how clearly that he was an angel that came here for a purpose. He taught so many of us so much, in many different ways. He has profoundly affected sooooo many lives. What a gift he has been to us all. You and Mike must be just as special for him to have chosen you two as parents. It's our honor to know you all.

Much much love to you all on this day and always.
We love and miss our sweet Harrison so much.

Happy 9th Birthday to one of God's Angels!!!! I will still keep your family in my prayers!!!

I met Harrison's uncle, Michael B., back in January and was so touched by how he spoke with so much love and hope for Harrison & his family's journey!!! The journey's not yet over, now begins the hardest part, learning to live again....

May God keep your family strong and may you continue to be a vessel of his word and faith!

Just stopping by to say that I pray Harrison is having a wonderful birthday celebration in heaven today! He was such an incredible young man and I'm sure that the birthday celebrations in heaven and even better than the ones here on earth. Know that Harrison is in my thoughts and prayers today. I'm also praying for his family and those that were lucky enough to know him during his years here on earth.

Today is a day you will never forget, but will have wonderful memories. Today I think so of Harrison and what an impact he made in my life. God be with you both today and always as your strength will only come from Him.

Oh Gina, I am so so so heartbroken. There are no words for you to describe your loss and there are no words for any of us to describe our feelings of pain over your and our loss of this wonderful child, who deserved to live and gave so much to the world. We can only say we love you dearly, hurt indescribably with you, and would give anything to be able to change this or at least to comfort you in any small way.

Gina, MIke and Sweet Family,
Not a day goes by that I do not think of you all. Everytime I think of Harrison (which is at least once a day), I smile. You can't help, but smile at his smile and be taken in by his love for life. No doubt, he is still smiling & still spreading joy to all those angels around him. I know he was welcomed into the golden gates with open arms and right now at this very second he is with you waiting for you to eat a green cupcake in his honor :0). Words cannot express the loss this world has suffered without your bright light physically here. I know that he is still here in spirit, but how I wish he was here physically too. Gina, you are an extraordinary person, mother, friend, daughter, wife and the list goes on. I cannot tell you how many times I've wanted to call or write, but I don't have your address or phone number. An e-mail seemed too impersonal for what I wanted to say. I know you'll be checking Harrison's site today and you'll be looking for comfort and I hope this brings you some. You ARE the definition of grace, love, strength and everything good in this world. You ARE Harrison's mom and you will ALWAYS be Harrison's mom and we'd expect nothing less. You are SUPERWOMAN and I am honored to call you my friend. I only wish I could hug you right now at this very moment. We love Harrison and your family and we will forever have a connection to the first family who welcomed us into the "Cancer" world. Although it sucks being here, we're honored to be in the best comapany. All our love,Debb, Tom and Alexa Renee

www.caringbridge.org/visit/alexareneemoore

P.S. Tom wrote this in Alexa's guestbook today, but I wanted to share it with you since you will not see it. He is a very private person, but nobody touched him more than your beautiful son, Harrison.

I would like to send a 'Happy Birthday' wish to our dear friend Harrison. Harrison would have been 9 years old today. Harrison is the first little boy we met during our first visit at Sloan and he will always have an indelible and powerful impact on our family. He is a super hero and deserved the best that life had to offer. With his family always by his side, he bravely fought his cancer for over 5 years and nearly won. He has the most beautiful, supportive and wonderful family I have ever met and I am honored and privileged to know them. I just want to say how much our family loves Harrison and his family and whereever he is right now, I wanted to wish him a great day. We're all thinking about you and we miss and love you very much. God bless you and your family.

Thomas (Super Alexa's proud da da)

Dearest Gina-
Your words, as always, are touching and inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing Harrison and his journey with all of us. On this , the eve of his birthday, I would like to share some gifts with you . . .there is nothing I can give you that will heal your heart but I would like to remind you of all the gifts that You, Mike and Harrison HAVE GIVEN to the rest of us, I want you to know that every day you continue to inspire and to teach and to remind us all of the things that are really important . . .mind you, this is just the short list: you have shown me the gift of grace under pressure, the gift of unconditional love, the gift of family-watching yours is always amazing, the gift of hope, the gift of belief, the gift of keep on fighting, the gift of charity because you allowed him to participate in clinical trials that will help others, the gift of mentorship as you helped others through this unrelenting journey, the gift of patience, the gift of courage, the gift of "never waste a moment or take a single minute for granted", the gift of believe in the unbelievable . . . Know and believe that these gifts have made the difference in all our lives, please know too that your beautiful, kind, gentle, Harrison, your gift from God, was not just a gift to you but to all of us. Thank you so much for sharing him. And so, a day early, I wish you Happy Birthday, it is as much your day as it is his. This year may be too soon but in years to come I hope you will celebrate this day with all these gifts. All my love to you, friend.

Tiffin, OH - Sunday, March 16, 2008 8:50 AM CDT

Gina,
I believe we met briefly in NY one time, which seems like may moons ago. We, too, are from NC and our only child, James, was also battling Stage IV NB.
You words were always pleasing to my soul to read; words of encouragement, and fight!
James passed away 9/17/07. And as I was reading your journal, I can completely relate to ever word.
There are still some bad days, bad moments... bad seconds. But, my husband and I have learned to find a small smile and laughter in each day; to continue to live a part of James in our life.
A "veteran angel mom" emailed me in the beginning of grief... she stated that the pain will always remain, you learn to get up and decide how you want to face that day, and you learn to cope with the pain.
Please know that Harrison's life and him as a beautiful, courageous boy will never be forgotten.
May God bless you, your husband and family in the days to come.
With love, hugs, and shared tears,

I can feel the love and devotion between Mother and child. You truly are an inspiration. God must have needed another special angel to help him with his work. When I look up into heaven and see the brightest star I shall call it Harrison. May God Bless you and your family and forever hold you in the palm of his hand.

My children Nicholas and Isabella Rogers attend Davidson Day School. Last yr in the old building I remember all letters and notices outside the first grade classroom regarding Harrison. Although Nicholas was in K2 at the time he knew of your son and knew he was sick. I have thought of you and your son many times. Nicholas said he will light a candle at church this Sunday for Harrison. Please accept our prayers and tears as your son touched a little boy's life and he will always be remembered. I wish you peace and love. Paul, Pam, Nicholas, Isabella and Anthony Rogers

We have never met your family, but have checked Harrison's website often. I found his website from the Rainbow of Hope site years ago. I also had a son with cancer (Medullablastoma) that passed away on 10-2-07 after a long battle. I just wanted you to know your family is in our prayers. You have a long hard road ahead of you. My son Brandon was 16yrs old when he passed I hope he was there for your son when he got to heaven and is showing him all around. I had also noticed they have the same birthday 3-18 just a difference in years. I'm hear if you would like to email me at anytime. Not sure if I can say anything to help or not, but thought I would offer. A lot of moms that lost their children to this horrible disease reached out to me when Brandon passed and it was nice, because they so understand what you are going thru.

I did not know your brave Harrison, but my children were his "book buddies" at Davidson Day. He truly was an inspiration to the kids at school; I heard about him from my 5th graders. The Davidson Day dress down day today is a sunflower theme in honor of Harrison. May your faith bring you peace in the difficult days ahead.

He touched the lives of so many here and his life will remain a source of great inspiration. Our love and thoughts and prayers are with your family now and in the days to come.

we are so very sad to hear this news. the first week we ever spent at msk, i watched you in the waiting area. i did not know your story yet. all i saw was a devastatingly chic, calm and completely focused mom. and a boy who had an incredible aura of sweetness. i remember thinking that those two shared a lot of love between them. and i thought that if they could be here, battling this disease with such grace, then i would be able to do it too. we are so grateful for the strength you showed us. i will never forget your beautiful boy. may you be comforted during this difficult time.

This is a trying time for a brave family and a brave little boy. The time you had with Harrison was different than most, but a blessing nonetheless. Both of you will look back in time and cherish each moment with Harrison, and cherish his memory forever. Both Dale and I wish to convey our sincerest condolences. Mike, I remember these same feelings as I talked to your mother in the last times of her life. Her biggest worry was that her family was struggling far more than she was about her own condition. She had accepted her fate, and tried to make the best of it for those who would live on after her. She was a smart lady. On behalf of the Silver family, we all wish you the best. Harrison's departure hurts deeply now, but that hurt will turn into even more love for his memory as time goes on.

Mr. and Mrs Nichols,
I only knew Harrison through my fellow co-worker and friend Dorothy Watley. She frequently spoke kindly of him. How strong and yet so gentle he was.
I know your son fought so hard to stay, God saw the road was getting rough, the hill was hard to climb. He gently closed Harrison�s weary eyes and whispered it�s time for you to go.

God Bless,

Humbly Submitted,

The love and comfort you presented to your son was truly a gift to him as well as to those who were able to witness it. May God bless you all during this time.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. I have followed Harrison's journey for about 4 years now and would like to thank you for sharing him with those of us out here in cyperspace who didn't know him, but grew to love him through your journal entries. I'm sure he is sitting at the feet of our Lord smiling down and keeping watch over his family and friends. My prayers are with you.

Looks Like Rain

Awoke today, felt your side of the bed;
The covers were still warm where you been layin'.
You were gone, oh gone, my heart was filled with dread;
You might not be sleeping here again.
But it's alright cause I love you, and that's not going to change.
Run me around and make me hurt again and again.
But I'll still sing you love songs, written in the letters of your name.
The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain

Did you ever waken to the sound of street cats making love?
You guess from the cries you were listening to a fight.
Well you know, oh know, haste is the last thing they're thinking of.
You know they're only tryin' to make it thru the night.

I only want to hold you, I don't want to tie you down
Or fit you in the lines I might've drawn.
It's just that I, oh I, have gotten used to havin' you around.
The landscape would be empty, if you were gone;
But it's alright cause I love you, and that's not going to change.
Run me around and make me hurt again and again.
But I'll still sing you love songs, written in the letter of your name.
The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain.

God Bless,

I was so sadden to hear of Harrison's passing. My heart goes out to the two of you. I have written a poem that I hope will give you some comfort in your loss. May GOD surround you with his arms and hold you tight through this difficult time.

The Loss of a Loved one

The greiving begins and rightfully so...
But your loved one is having a party you know...
Beyond the blue skies to a new home far away...
He'll sing and he'll dance,
no more pain will he pay...
At the right hand of the Father,
he'll sit and he'll wait...
To be reunited with family and so...
You�ll have your good moments... your sad moments too...
But remember Harrison is holding
a special place for you
.... I love you....

When You feel Lonely
When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.

Hey there,
As I said yesterday, you all have been in my thoughts and prayers over the past few days.

Gina-your words have been such an inspiration over the years. There are not many families that we meet at the hospital who go through the continuous treatment that you all did. You are amazing to me. I cant tell you how many times I have borrowed your wonderful quotes for my own mom's Caring Bridge site.

I also just wanted to say that I am sending lots of good thoughts to Logan. I have always loved keeping up with the adventures and journey of Harrison and Logan (And Emma too).
The last time I saw Harrison, he and Logan were at the clinic together laughing at how much my new baby drooled. I know that being without his best friend will be a journey in itself for Logan. I know how much of a support he has always been for Harrison. What an amazing child!!

Dear Gina and Mike,
I am so sad to hear about Harrison.
I feel very honored to have met him.
I can't even imagine what you and your family are
going through right now.
I remember the first time I met you, your mom and Harrison,
in that little room in the PDH. I was always amazed how your mom sat with you day after day. I thought, what a beautiful family. And after speaking with you, I again was amazed by all the medical knowledge you had obtained.
But what impressed me the most was your relationship with Harrison. How respectful you always were of his needs.
How you spoke to him with such kindness, respect, and obvious love.
Although the pain must be excruciating for you and your family, I know Harrison must be in a better place.
May G-d give you comfort and strength to get through this most difficult time.

Although Madison was only at DDS for a short time she talks about Harrison often and has been growing her hair for Locks of Love in his honor. We are going to get it cut next weekend just for that reason. She often tells me when we go to church she prays for Harrison (and that she and her brother wont fight). The two of us have been keeping up with Harrison through this sight and through Brooke, watching Harrison's amazing journey. I have always been impressed with Harrison's and your strength, grace and courage. I was deeply saddened yesterday when I received an email from Brooke with the news. Please know that your family will remain in our prayers and that God will continue to watch over you all.

Harrison was such an inspiration for me. I read his journal entries whenever there was an update and his journey was hard, but he is now a butterfly beautiful and free of pain. God answered your prayers to release him from this pain and took him home. Your family will be in our prayers GOD bless you.

Dear Gina, Mike and Family,
My sister and I were talking about Harrison today and the unbelievable will and fight he has to beat this Cancer. I am in tears, a complete wreck, my heart is breaking as I have told you time and again what an inspiration you all are. You were our "first family" and because of that I am having an extremely difficult time even putting into words what I want to say. I thought I was going to sign on to look at Harrison'a smiling face and read, yet another amazing story about the boy we've all grown to love. Well, I did see that smiling face, but the words I read tore through my heart like a knife. I told Sherrie today while we were out shopping that you are one of the best mothers I know and I mean that whole heartedly. You amaze me and it's no surprise that Harrison is the man he is because of you. I still cannot believe he is not here. He is such a powerful force and I believe he always will be here with all of us. He was and is so loved by his beautiful family and judging by this site-by EVERYONE he has ever had contact with. I will pray for peace and I will talk to Harrison every night. I am so sorry, Gina. I am sending you hugs, love, support-whatever you need. Respectfully, Debbie, Tom, Alexa and family

Dear Gina,
You and Harrison were one of the first NB families we met in the PDH playroom. You were both filled with a sense of hope and peace that was truly unique and inspiring, especially to a family just entering the world of neuroblastoma. Even when we spoke briefly a couple of weeks ago, (two years later), the peace within you prevailed. May you be comforted, as you have comforted so many.
Warmly,

Although I know you feel boundless grief, I hope you will be comforted by your knowledge of the huge person that he was and by your memories of the immense joy Harrison brought you and others. Please know we will not forget him, and that we are here for you at any time. with love and prayers, Shirley

Gina,

I am so sorry. I always remember you guys from our first inpatient stay at MSKCC. We were newbies, and you guys alredy seemed to know everything. I remember Harrison and Elias playing together in the inpatient playroom several times. I always thought Harrison would keep fighting forever. It is so hard to believe...

May your faith bring you much peace in the days to come. Harrison was very blessed to have you two as parents. I always admired you, Gina, when I saw you at the hospital. You were and still are an inspiration to so many. Thank you for sharing your beautiful little boy with us. Now, Harrison is watching over all of the children who continue the fight.

Sincerely,

Dear Gina & Mike,
I only knew Harrison through Blair [Nemechek], being her Nanny (Andrea's assistant), and seeing him a few times at school/class functions. She talked of him often and was so excited each time he got to come back and visit their classroom; we heard every detail. Each time she spoke of him I told her I prayed for him every night. Please know that I will continue to pray for you guys, that you will feel God's loving arms around you.

When I saw the photo on the top of page with Harrison looking so strong and handsome, I did not stop to think you would be reporting on such dire circumstances of his condition in January. I read each word carefully, not letting my eyes move ahead in the paragraph or passage, lest they revealed news I didn't want to hear. Instead, following your narrative, I could rest my fears a little and return my thoughts to the wonderful and wise boy at the top of the page.

Here is to strength for you all!

Hi Gina, Mike, and Harrison,

As strange as it may seem there are not many days that go by that I do not think of you all. We were just in clinic the other day and I thought of you guys. It has been a while since Abby and Harrison were diagnosed. Sometimes I am very sad to know that Harrison has been on treatment all this time, but I have also felt that you are very blessed that he has been able to endure for so long and thrive even with cancer. That is truly wonderful and amazing.

I am sad to hear about Harrison's liver. It is not news that I wanted to hear.

My thoughts, prayers, and well wishes are with you all. You are a truly wonderful family.

All my love and best,

"Almighty and most gracious heavenly Father...the God Who knows and sees all, we bring Harrison before Your throne and stand in the gap for him and his family as he battles this horrendous disease. You are the Master Physician and we trust You with him for he is Your creation...Your son. It is written in Psalm 103 that You are the God who heals all of Harrison's diseases, not in the by and by, but now, because You are the Great I AM, which means today. You say that 'if we have faith as a mustard seed, we can speak to the mountain and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.' (Matthew 17:20) Therefore, by faith and in the powerful Name about all Names, Jesus Christ, we speak to the mountain of cancer in Harrison, and command it to move from here to there, to be remembered no more! May Harrison and his family know Your peace which passes all understanding and we thank You for this day their daily bread. Amen and amen."

Gina, I have prayed for you and your dear child for years and was profoundly saddened to read about his latest battle. As we learned from our daughter Emily's journey, neuroblastoma is a worthy adversary. Please know that I think and pray for you daily and that I have prayed to "our angel" to help you through this. I know that you have tremendous support from family and friends, but please know that I will come in a minute if you need to talk with someone who has worn your shoes. May God bless you all.

Mooresville, NC USA - Monday, January 14, 2008 8:17 PM CST

Dear Gina,
I just got off the phone with my sister Sherrie. I had mentioned that I saw you. Mike and grandma today and that although you looked beautiful as always, I saw sadness in your eyes. I was a bit confused as I told you I read the latest update. Now, I feel like a jerk at my happy go lucky attitude as "not changing the picture" to me signaled no new update. With tears in my eyes and a heavy heart, I read the latest update and although I KNOW in my heart that Harrison WILL fight with every ounce of my being, it kills me that he has to. Your family is so special and I feel such love for you guys as you were the first ones who 'touched' us. Harrison is my hero & I know how strong, wise and special he is, as does everyone who knows him. I did not want you to think that I was being insensitive as I had no idea of the latest findings. Still as Harrison said hello to me today, he managed to smile, be polite and have that sparkle in his eye as he always does. Please apologize to your mom for me as I was running after Alexa when she approached me. I wish I would have hugged her longer than I did and I wish I could hug you now. Please know that as always (Harrison usually leads our prayer list every night), we will be praying with everything we have. I DESPISE Cancer, especially Neuroblastoma, but once again I see the beauty-and that is Harrison, Alexa and the rest of these warriors fighting for their lives. Gina, I hope you know how much we care about you guys. Harrison, we love you! You are an amazing young man of strength, perseverence & love. I hope you don't mind that I will be mentioning Harrison in Alexa's journal once again for prayer requests. I will not list his site without your permission unless you'd like me to. STAY strong, Harrison as I know you will. A wise young boy once told me "YOU HAVE TO BeLIeVE in the unbeLIeVable!" I know you know who that was and I expect no different this time around. All our love, prayers and positive energy, Debb, Tom and Alexa Moore-your 'family' from New York now and ALWAYS!

Gina,
I just wanted to let you know that I will be picturing Harrison just as you have asked. As you know, I have continued to follow Harrison's journey since those first early days when I met you guys at CMC. It is always such a joy to see Harrison and that bright smile. I crack up when I think of him commenting on how much our new baby drooled when I brought him to the clinic last year. Anyway, he randomly appeared in my thoughts a few weeks ago, and I found myself really thinking about the journey that you have all been on. Harrison has been through much more than any of the children I have ever had the honor of meeting. There are not many families who have been through the continuous treatment and lifestyle changes that you all have. You are ALL amazing (not just Harrison)! I am privileged to know you all, and of course-thinking only the very best of thoughts for Harrison. He is such an example to us all......

I just cannot tell you how we feel after reading your latest entry.Tina had called to ask me to read your writing because her computer is down and she doesn't seem to be getting all of your texts. I don't know how I got through reading it to her aloud. You and yours are the most courageous people I have ever known and I don't say that lightly. I respect you all so much, in the way you have held it altogether for so long. God is surely really proud of you and happy that you believe so deeply in Him. I know that you realize that miracles do happen and Harrison is ready for the biggest one ever! We are all praying for your courage and peace. We could all learn from your young son, and of course you.
With so much love and constant prayers,

Come by and visit me again soon at DDS. You brighten my day. PS - Logan always keeps me up-to-date. I drink from my Harrison mug ALL the time now. Thank you for the gift! I cherish it.

Hi Gina, Mike & Harrison! Just checking in to say I'm thinking about you, as always, and wish everyone a Happy New Year. Hope this note finds Harrison feeling well. We'll be anxious to hear news of your new cousin soon - please promise to keep us posted. Thanks also for Harrison's happy Christmas picture. It's hanging (with lots of children's pictures) on my kitchen's sliding door. Can't bear to take them down yet! I'm so glad you were able to enjoy the holidays at home. Love to all your family.

Dear Harrison,

I hope that Santa brought lots of great stuff this Christmas. I'm so glad that you got to be at home. Natey went to Disney for his Chanukah present which was lots of fun. He plays on his xbox all the time. We think about you lots! I loved the pics of your tree. With special wishes for all good things in 2008, Lots of love, Nate and Nate's Mom
