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

hiya baby just wanted to wish you a happy 26th birthday for tomorrow. Wont get on tomorrow as we are all going out to celebrate your day with a meal. This is the second birthday we have had to celebrate without you and i can't believe how quick time has passed.Went to see your grandad today at nottingham and he isn't well he looks and sounds like you did towards the end and it is so hard for your dad to see him like that so soon after losing you.Your nan and grandad sent you a card and some flowers for your birthday. We all wish we could go back in time to before you got ill you nloved birthdays sooo much didn't you and i know exactly who you got that from 2 peas in a pod me and you.Alex has just moved into a flat and we went round the other night she has got it really lovely but i can just imagine you lot would have trashed it with your party's just like you did your flat lol. It's been so hard for her and i think she misses you as much as we do i kno how much you cared for her but i don't think you realised how much she did for you. She has really been there for us too and always keeps in touch. Anyway babe i am going to get off to bed now so have a drink for tomorrow and love you loads as always mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Alone now and sad with tears in my eyes,
my heart has a huge break deep down inside.
A part of me died the day you went home...
and emptiness entered where love once was shown.
I miss you so much son, but after a while,
my friends tell me God will put back my smile.
So I started praying for peace to return
for God to stay near me and help me to mourn.
I'm learning to look back and rejoice in the thought
of our time spent together, of the love that you brought.
Of the memories sweet that are held in times past...
of your smile and your laughter son...that to will last...
I sense comfort coming, an angel drawing near
reminding me gently of times I hold dear.
And when I look up to see skies oh so blue
I find myself talking out loud just to you.
My loneliness is gone now; there's a feeling of love,
the comfort from memories as I look up above.
Peace flows in my heart, my tears have been dried,
as at last I realise…you are right here by my side.
Just popping by Nick to say night night and sweet dreams, love to mum always.

Few people come into our lives
and make everything shine,
but you're one of those
rare and splendid jewels
who makes the whole world bright.
When I was sad, you made me smile.
When I was alone and blue,
you were there for me,
and you made me feel strong enough
to accomplish anything.
Because I appreciate
the many things you do,
more than words could say,
I'm sending you the Candle of Love,
and hoping you receive
many blessings from above.

Dear Sandi.....
I'm sending you this Angel
with hopes for dreams all night.
She's bringing her Special Blanket
to wrap you in all tight.
It's made with Love and Stardust
and Magic through and through
to help you sleep very soundly
and awaken just like new.
So close your eyes and see her
floating near your side,
she's there to tuck you in, dear Friend,
for a dreamy sleep filled ride.
You are so precious and so loved
and God watches over you every day.
Just remember your Good Night Angel
is only a thought away.
Blessings to you...and sending lots of love always.

My Mum doesn't know I'm watching her
but I'm watching her just the same.
And I hear each tear fall on her face
at the mention of my name.
She says it sounds like music to her ears
and can be heard over a crowd.
I hear each tear fall on her face,
when my name is said aloud.
I watch her stumble through each day
as she wishes the day would end.
And I hear each tear fall on her face
as she talks of me with her friends.
But there are few who truly understand.
this I've heard her proclaim.
And I hear each tear fall on her face.
Will my Mum ever be the same?
I know that her smile can light up a sky,
But I don't see that smile today.
But I hear each tear fall on her face,
and her blue skies have turned to grey.
I send my mum hugs full of love
with the rays of the morning sun.
Then I won't hear a tear fall on her face,
for I shall erase them one by one.
Yes, my Mum doesn't know I'm watching her,
but I'm watching her just the same.
And when I hear a tear fall on her face
I softly whisper her name.
Love mum

hello sweetheart as promised i have more time tonight to talk to you. It will soon be your 26th birthday and we are all going out for a meal with Dave and his mates seeing as you shared birthdays.I have been really busy with my new job and have been doing alot of travelling im sure your in the car with me as lots of funny things have been happening in the car.The radio keeps changing to radio 1 no matter how many times i put it back to lincs fm and that was what you and me always fell out about wasn't it, i hope it is you having your own way.I have been having a bit of a rough time lately from some certain people trying to cause me lots of trouble and apparently they are jealous but god knows why i would swop places with anyone if it mean't not having to wake up every day knowing i wont ever see you again if you would like to do a bit of haunting it would be great im sure you know who they are they were doing stuff to me even before you died.
Anyway we have moved all your personal stuff upstairs to our bedroom and i am trying to decide if we should put your ashes up there as well your dad thinks you won't want to be in our bedroom for obvious reasons but i know didn't like sleeping alone so if you want to send me a sign i'd appreciate some advice anyway baby best go now so love you tons miss you even more
love mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hi mate thought i would come say hi i haven't been on for ages. charlie and baby nick both really well although they have both got colds. i think nick looks like you but no one else seems to agree he's got dark brown hair and it sticks up on end so it looks like hes got gel in. hes got your cheeks as weel. i secretly hoping he gets green eyes cause that would just top it off. been talking to robert tonight he said he doesn't want to come back to skeg because your not here and it feels weird. if only he knew how weird it feels to us i still feel like your not really gone and your just going to turn up one day and say you have just been for a long holiday. hopefully i will see you again one day preferably after the kids have grown up. my biggest fear is that i'm going to leave them like you left us. love you loads and i will talk to you soon. watch the kids for me xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
