I must say that the old saying "the anticipation is almost always worse than the event itself" was fairly accurate for us. I have been a super mess for the past couple of weeks.... remembering every single thing leading up to saying goodbye to our precious boy.... but, overall, Saturday was pretty peaceful and positive.
We are so thankful to our wonderful friends for racing in honour of Nicholas and for giving us a focus for Saturday. The race was a success and proved to be very therapeutic.
We started our day by sending messages to Nicholas on blue balloons.
Each of the boys had something special to tell their brother.

"Happy 1" cupcakes for Nicholas.... only one little guy missing.
Thank you to everyone for their thoughts, love and prayers over the past several days. Just knowing that our son, Nicholas is remembered by so many helps to heal our broken hearts.

It looks like a beautiful day. My love to you and your family. XO
It's true, the anticipation is typically worse. I've been thinking about you.
Peace, my friend.
Much love.
((Hugs))
what a beautiful day.. been thinking and praying for you..hugs!
Gorgeous fall day, beautiful gift from Nicholas...much love to you.
What a beautiful tribute to Nicholas.
I hope so Lea. With the twin's first birthday coming tomorrow, I am a disaster. I am determined to keep Georgia's first birthday a happy one though because it was one of the best days in my life. I took Calvin some flowers, a bear and a Happy Birthday balloon today in hopes that tomorrow will be a good day. His angel day though is another matter. I am so glad you had a beautiful peaceful day thinking of Nicholas. Hugs
I am so glad that the day was good for you. That you go to do some thing in memory on Nicholas.
Oh my gosh, Lea. That last picture of your children blowing out that candle....oh my gosh. It made me burst into tears. Tears of pain for you, but of beauty in the middle of that pain.
You are a very special family.
I feel privileged to "know" you (well, to read your blog! :)
What a beautiful way to honor your son, Nicholas.
I am glad you had a good day (well, as good as can be expected anyway). Did you ever get your gift?
What a beautiful Angel Day you gave little Nicholas. Thinking of you...
Looks like everything worked out beautifully...
((hugs))
Such a lovely day and no doubt he was there to make you all feel love and happiness for him!! Thinking of you all!!
Beautiful, Lea! Your boys are adorable, it was so sweet that they got to send your Nicholas messages. I am glad Nicholas' Angel Day went well.

Looks like a beautiful day spent with your ENTIRE family. I know Nicholas enjoyed it as much as you were happy to honor and remember him.
So glad you had a nice day and I was thinking of you Saturday. Prayers and {{HUGS}}

You are a strong beautiful mama Lea. Remember that. We love you and hurt with you. We wish we could ease your pain. My 3 year old tells me all the time that Cayden loves the balloons we send him, so I know that Nicholas loved the balloons you sent to him. Doesn't change a thing does it? But perhaps it gives you a moments solace when you read the comments from your friends here.
What a beautiful day, and a wonderful way to remember your sweet Nicholas. Thinking of you often. *hugs*
((hugs)) So glad that it was a beautiful day! Kasey's birthday is next week and I am a mess just thinking of it.
What a beautiful day. I thought about all of you on Saturday and lit the boys candles in memory of sweet Nicholas.
*hugs*
I am so happy you had a good day. You deserve that.
So glad the day was peaceful for you and that you got to release some balloons for Nicholas.
