What an incredible job Nolan did encapsulating so many beautiful, strong, worthy, and powerful influences in his life and I love the hope he has woven into the lines and how he knows who to lean on, and into. And while I've told you Colton reminds me of Hunter, Nolan is so much more Hannah when you talk about the fact you would never have known of this incredibly special poem if you hadn't stumbled upon it. They are these amazing people that have to be discovered. Waters that run VERY deep. What a tribute these beautiful boys are to you, to Rick, and to God's grace.

Love, love, love this post! What a...My dear friend,<br />Love, love, love this post! What a wonderful glimpse into Nolan's mind and heart. I hear so much steadfastness in his words, words forming the young man he is and the young man he is becoming. I love that he made the choice to go visit his Grandma and it took no coaxing for the words, "Love you, Grandma" to escape his lips. <br /><br />And he's from Rick and Vicky and pasta and steak. And like his Momma, he's from the lake.<br />And tears welled up in my eyes when he wrote that he's from a family that will one day have mom cancer free.<br /><br />You and Rick have raised such a fine young man, that Nolan. He's heard your messages and thoughts and words loud and clear..."Stop picking on your brother," brought a smile to my face and "Never give up!" Guideposts for life inside him. He knows God blessed him.<br /><br />You're a great Momma to both your boys, Vicky. They love you to the moon and back again.<br /><br />Sending you hugs and loves and prayers, always prayers.<br />LindaLinda Seppa Salisburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336969827398454131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-82654390276776337182014-11-04T00:48:12.679-06:002014-11-04T00:48:12.679-06:00This is touching.
