I long to see you sitting there
I glance from time to time
The reminder of your absence
Is always on my mind
Sometimes Olivia plops right down
And shares a minute or two
Snoopy sleeps there often
As if that will be your cue
To walk in and say, "Get up, girl"
And give me back my seat
But then I quickly realize
As my heart seems to skip a beat
That even your voice is missing
From our home but not our heart
The memory of your smile
Will never from me part
Oh, Nick, we love you so much
You taught us more than a degree
Your chair may lack your presence
But it's never really empty
Cause your spirit's here-
It really is!
You still keep us on our toes
Every action, every word we say
From your memory flows.....
Thank you, Nick, for leading the way
With your courage and your love
We'll live for Him until the day
We meet you up above!
See you soon.
Love, Your Mommy

Tammy, beautiful words from your heart...My mom has been gone 3 yrs...and I still find myself saying "Yes mom I hear you"...usually she is telling me to behave myself...lol....these precious people who leave for Home before we do...leave their voices to be heard until we too, will be called Home to be with them...Loving and Praying Always...Judy Stapleton
It's amazing how you have so much to say after the person is gone. How much you miss them and you just want to hear their voice just one more time. Thats how I felt when my Grandma pass away. It's been 8 years and I sometime turn because I feel like see's there with me and I hear her say my name. It's amazing how God can works and bring you up when you think you cann't be brought up...there he is to wrap his arms around and to say it ok I'm here for you I wont let anything hurt you. Just like a little kid when there scard and just want to be held and love that what God does to us when we're in our lowest valley he brings us up to the highest moutain top. I will continue to play for you and your family.
Love,

Nick made such an impact on many peoples lives.....he will always be here in spirit. He was too much of a wonderful person to not be! He reached out and touched more people than you will ever know. Nick Nischan is truly a "HERO" in my eyes! Lots and Lots of Love & prayers for you and your family Tammy. It breaks my heart for Olivia, because I too know what it is like to lose my brother....I keep you all in my prayers and I hold you just as close to my heart.
Love Keeshla
Blessings Tammy...such beautiful words from the loving heart of a mother grieving yet knowing there will come a day...
I would love to honor you & Nick if you would stop over & receive some "gifts" from me to you all:

Absolutely beautiful words. I just loved reading this.
I can't wait to meet Nick. As bright as Nick's smile could get here, so big, right from the heart. I'm just thinking, it's gotta be blinding right about now.
My dad has been gone 1 year now. I'm not comparing the two losses, not for a minute. We have purposed at my mom's house to leave a lot of certain things right where he left them, where we are used to seeing them.
We love seeing his stuff. It represents him and gives us comfort.
May the Lord comfort you and your family in tangible ways.
hugs, janel
Your words are beautiful. I'm continuing to pray for your family.
Sending love, hugs, and prayers to you Tammy, and Tim and your other precious children. I am thinking today of your previous blog Hemmed in. Yes, you still are. Covered in His love and grace. Blessings and love to you today. You continue to amaze and encourage me. Such an example of a woman of God.
