Nick Adams was 24 when he died and he died from kidney cancer on the 17th August 2007. He used to
run a local pub called the MARS bar which he ran with his dad Symon Adams and his mum Sandi Adams.
He lived in the flat above it he was lovely and had room in his heart for everyone. He was very kind
and caring. It kills me to thing that someone so special who never did anything wrong could be took
away from us so early in life.
The only thing that makes me feel better about Nick's death is that he touched so many people. We
spent a lot of time raising money to get the drugs he need to keep him with us longer. Now we are
raising money for Kidney Cancer UK and projects which were connected to his illness. Nick was very
brave even when facing something that people a lot older than him can't cope with.
I know how much everyone misses him especially my mum and dad. He ment so much to so many people our
grandparents who he was so close to and his friends especially storm and alex who spent so much time
with him before and during his illness. My daughter Charlie will always know who her uncle was and
how great he was. I'm just glad he got to see her before he died. I will always love Nick and I will
never feel better about it but I'm just glad I've got the rest of my family to lean on.

Nick was my son and where do you start to try to tell anyone what that means to me.Unless you knew
him you cant understand what kind of person he was.He was like a bright light that shone continually
and drew everyone to him.Before he got the cancer he thought that life was for ever and he lived
hard played hard and helped anyone he could.When we found out he was going to die i didnt know how
we could carry on but he dealt with it like anything else he did by putting others first.No one can
imagine what pain he went through as the disease progressed and ravaged every part of him but he
fought for his life for our sakes.We were always close but in those last few months we spent more
quality time than most people do in their whole lives and i will always be grateful for that time.He
died the day after my birthday which i'm sure he was holding out for and he was in my arms when he
slipped away.Words are not enough to say how much i miss him he was my rock and my best friend as
well as my son but i know he is pain free now and that is more important than my loss so untill we
meet again i will have to make do with memories of what a wonderful person he was my son nick
MY LAD
SYMON ADAMS (DAD)
NICK WAS MY SON , WHO I MISS VERY MUCH HE DIED OF KIDNEY CANCER AT THE AGE OF 24 .i GAVE UP MY JOB
TO LOOK AFTER HIM FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND IT WAS SO HORRIBLE AND PAINFUL TO WATCH HIM BE SICK AND IN
LOTS OF PAIN ALL THE TIME AND I COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT I FELT SO HELPLESS IF I COULD HAVE CHANGED
PLACES WITH HIM I WOULD HAVE AND STILL NOW IF HE COULD COME BACK I WOULD TAKE HIS PLACE.NICK WAS
AVERY STRONG LAD HE DID WELL TO GET AS FAR AS HE DID BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP LONG BEFORE HE
DID.LIFE IS NOT THE SAME WITHOUT HIM IT DOESNT SEEM REAL THAT I WILL NEVER TALK TO HIM OR SEE HIM
AGAIN.THE ONLY THING I HAVE LEFT ARE MEMORIES OF HIM.NICK HAD ALOT OF FRIENDS WHO MISS HIM ALSO HE
HAD ALOT OF TIME FOR OTHER PEOPLE AND WAS VERY CLOSE TO IS MUM SANDI
NICK MISS YOU LOADS SON LOTS OF LOVE DAD XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX WE WILL MEET AGAIN SOON

candle thank you.

My Friend Nick...
It has been a bit of time since your passing, Nick.
Words can not express the respect I have for you. Your courage was an inspiration to everyone who knew you and, perhaps, many you have never met.
Had the pleasure or knowing you and working with you and learning from you. You were the hardest worker I have ever seen and your future was so bright... your wonderful family did not deserve to loose you. We all did not deserve to loose you.
I sometimes buy "pink cake" from the bakery and think about you. Often I buy two... and pretend Im sharing it with you. I cry everytime.
I wont believe in god! I cannot trust a god who would take you! Why would god stop YOU from all you would achieve in your life! I hate god! It was not fair to you!
Nick, I miss you and think of you everyday.
Hi baby this is meant to be a happy new year message but I'm sorry it's late I have had a couple of bad weeks and havnt felt up to coming on.I know it's a poor excuse but I think it all caught up with me over Christmas and I felt as low as I ever have.

Been having lots of crap at work again and I really don't need it but I know what your feelings wouldchave been on that one anyway I spose I'd better go now so love you loads and miss you so much bestest buddy love mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

merry christmas
well sweetheart it's christmas eve and i just wanted to come on and say merry christmas to you we are doing all the normal things we always do and i will be eating the yorkshire pud you would have fought me for.On the face of it things carry on but scratch the surface and it can never be the same again and i know you knew that would be the case.Anyway i'm not going to go on for ages getting all morbid just to let you know how much you will always be missed and thought of so love to you as always and we will be thinking of you tomorrow as every other day xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
love you
hi nick, i know i haven't been on for ages so thought i would come and leave you a really long message. i miss you so much everybody does, its nice to know that you are so loved compared to some people that have left us. grandads really ill at the moment, i think its really upsetting dad. i think its upsetting mum more than she admits as well, she always has thought a lot of him. i haven't seen him in such a long time and i really miss him but i don't want to take the kids down because of how poorly he is. i can remember how stressed out you used to get when you were really ill because charlie was crying. i don't want him to get stressed. charlie keeps saying she can see you and to be honest i just thought she was being daft at first. but thing is she was really young when you died and she still knows what you look like. i like to think your looking after her and nick. she's been getting really upset these last couple of weeks cause shes moved bedrooms. before we moved her she would talk to herself in her room instead of getting upset. know i'm thinking she may of been talking to you as she doesn't do it anymore. i better go and sort the kids tea out i will come on again soon i promise xxx

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND EVERYONE
Our Lives changed, the very moment you passed away.
We couldn't stop it; there was nothing we could say.
You've touched our lives so deeply to a point you will never know,
We try to think about you when we are feeling down and low.
Sometimes when our day gets hard we will think about your beautiful smile
And if we listen hard enough we will hear your voice after a while.
It's you who give us a reason to go on with our day,
And now if we want to see you we'll bow our heads and pray.
We catch ourselves looking for you still, in the halls and at the front door,
But when we call your name there is no reply any more!
We never thought a day would come where we would be apart,
God has you in his keepings, we have you in our hearts.
Life will go on, but never will be the same,
Your beautiful smile is gone, but it will always remain.
You're our angel from up above.
You'll always be missed, but most importantly... loved.
Just one more minute, God, is all we ask- why can't you give them back;
It seems like such a simple task. We guess people are right when they say God only takes the best,
We know enough now that you're peacefully at rest.
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X
You can shed tears that they are gone,
Or you can smile because they lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that they will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that they have left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see them
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember them and only that they are gone
Or you can cherish the memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what they would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

I'm writing this from heaven, where I dwell with God above.
Where there's no more tears or sadness, there's just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I am out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
And I will stay beside you, every day, week and year
And when you're sad I'll still be there to wipe away your tears.
When you think of my life on earth and all those living years
Because your only human their bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain
Remember there wouldn't be flowers unless we first had rain.
I wish I could tell you of all that God has planned
But even if I were able to, you wouldn't understand.
When your going down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps and only half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentle breeze or wind upon your face
Remember it's only me with a loving and soft embrace.

If you look for me at Christmas
you won't need to look very far
I won’t be here in heaven
I'll be right there where you are.
You may not be aware of me
amid the celebrations
You'll have to look beyond the tree
and all the decorations.
But if you take a moment
from your list of things to do
You’ll sense that I’m right there
Standing next to you.
You're the one I want to be with,
you're the reason that I came,
To say ‘All my love at Christmas mum’
as I’m whispering your name.
Love to you Sandi, always in my thoughts.
Gail
