Final Thoughts

Dear Friends and Family,
Our local news station put together a piece honoring Zach.  Many of you have likely seen it but for those out of the area you can watch it here: Playing for Ingersoll.  

It is hard to express what is in my heart.  I am heartbroken and a bit fearful of the road ahead; widowed at 34 and raising 2 spirited little boys alone was not what I ever pictured for my life.  But God's hand has been evident since day one, the love of my life is with Jesus, and my little boys and I have been forever blessed by this journey.  I am incredibly encouraged by God's promise to walk beside me every step of the way, along with the love and well wishes many have shared.  

This blog and our journey turned into something far more meaningful that I ever thought possible.  Early on it became evident that I was sharing Zach's battle with cancer and our faith in God with friends and family, along with many people who I did not know but were praying for us.  I hope it has served as a testament to our belief in God's amazing plan and our faith in Him even though Zach is no longer with us.  There might be some who are reading that are facing their own battles.  I am proof that you can and will survive if you put God first, pray without ceasing and trust in His promise of salvation.  

Thank you for your support and prayers this past year.  I am forever changed by this experience.
Love,
Nicole
