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

Hi Nick
Was in Skegness yesterday & Jack wanted a go on the Tombola outside New Look where you Mum works.
He won the big Teddybear.
I explained to him that you are a star in the sky like his Mummy & he said im going to call the teddy Nick Star !
He said is Nick with Mummy so i said yes & he said he will keep mummy safe.
Great to hear about the award your mum got for all her hard work fundraising, she really deserves it!
Think of you often.

XXX MY HEARTS WITH YOU ALLWAYS AND FOREVER XXX
LOVE CAROL XXXX
Through the gentle breeze and the stormy seas
Your love comes flooding through
A sense of your surroundings
Letting us know that it is you
A heavenly sky with sparkling flames
Becomes visible in the skies
Appearing is your shadows
As you turned to wave goodbye
A mellow whisper in my ear
Thanking all for whats been done
And letting us know that youre ok
As you glide towards the sun
No matter what the outcome
No matter how much we cried
You're letting us know that your still here
It was only the body that died
For your memory holds no boundaries
Everyday it is kept alive
Its gives us warmth and energy
That encourages our days to thrive
Just keep on remembering me
In your shadows I'll walk with you
And guide you through your darkest hours
In everything you say or do
For absence cannot be changed for us
We accept what had to be done
We cannot change the wishes of God
If he wants you to be the one
When you reach the golden promised land
And the gates are open wide
It will be there you'll find great comfort
And your tears you'll try to hide
As you settle in your new found world
You'll send us a glittering prize
It will brighten up the darkest day
And bring a tear to our eyes
Thankyou for your presence
And for all the memories too
You left this world something beautiful
It was the fact that we had you
♥✿♥♥✿♥♥✿♥♥✿♥
Dear Nick...
There's a whistle up in heaven,
and it wasn't there before.
And all the angels heard it
when you knocked on Heaven's door.
Now Heaven is a better place
than what it was before,
and our lives are less without you...
now and forever more.
Love and God Bless
♥✿♥♥✿♥♥✿♥♥✿♥

Friends are like flowers
Each unique in their own way
Put them all together
What a wonderful bouquet
Some are really brilliant
Full of light sharp and clear
While others are more subdued
To both you can adhere
You are a flower in my garden
That makes up my bouquet
My friends you all make
A very impressive display
With Love From carol x x x x

TIME
I thought that time was healing
All the hurt you left behind
That empty spaces could be filled
My arms, my heart, my mind
And though my body looks the same
As it did when you were here
The emptiness is growing
Even bigger with each year
I thought that time was healing
All the agonising pain
That as the tears were fading
Soon I wouldn't feel the same
And though I can be smiling
And you think that I'll survive
The pain is in my blood now
I have nowhere else to hide
I thought that time was healing
All the loss a mother feels
That now you live within my heart
I had you near me still
But I need so much to touch you
To see you smile again
And those memories I'm told are mine
Can never feel the same
I thought that time was healing
All the while the mask was worn
That underneath a new me
Was waiting to be born
But now I find I am the mask
It helps to keep me safe
And though my heart is breaking
You won't see it in my face
I thought that time was healing
All those tears my eyes have seen
That aching arms that miss you
Could be satisfied with dreams
But here I am, in pain again
And healing stands alone
And mother weeps, the world can see
For a son who can't come home
SENDING MY LOVE FROM CAROL QUINN STEWARTS MUM XXX
When you are feeling lost and all alone;
as though your world is falling apart.
I will take you gently by the hand,
and hold you safely with my heart.
I will walk with you, hand in hand,
in your search for a better tomorrow.
And give you all I have within my heart,
to chase away your tears of sorrow.
I will not let go, but hold you close,
so we can find the strength of two.
No matter where your journey takes us,
together, we will make it through.
My heart will be your shining light,
as it disperses the darkness with my love.
And my hand will hold you in a prayer,
found in our faith, with the Lord above.
I will give to you my heart, my hand,
whenever life fills you with despair.
For no matter where I find myself,
you can always trust me, to be there
Who is the stranger in my clothes?
The one who's hurting,
Who no one knows.
The person I live with day by day.
The stranger who won't go away.
The one who's angry,
The one who’s mad,
The one who’s in pain,
And feels so sad.
Why won't she disappear?
Why is she always near?
What did I do, whom did I offend?
Will she be with me to the end?
When you look in the mirror
Who do you see?
Because when I look,
I see a stranger who’s not me.

I thought I saw your face today, in the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say, "Their work on earth is done."
I thought I heard your voice today, then laugh your hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angel say, "There's peace dear one at last."
I thought I felt your touch today, in the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angel say, "The spirit never dies."
I thought I saw my broken heart, in the crescent of the moon.
And then I heard the angel say, "The Lord is coming soon."
I thought that you had left me, for the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angel say, "They left you with their love."
I thought that I would miss you so, and never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say, "They're with you every day."
The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars, will forever be around,
Reminding you of the love you shared, and the peace they've finally found.
Love and God Bless
We have shared our tears and our sorrow,
we have given encouragement to each other,
given hope for a brighter tomorrow
we share the title of grieving mother.
Some of us lost older daughters or sons,
who we watched grow over the years,
some have lost their babies before their lives begun,
but no matter the age, we cry the same tears.
We understand each others pain,
the bond we share is very strong,
with each other there is no need to explain,
the path we walk is hard and long.
Our children brought us together,
they didn't want us on this journey alone,
and they knew we needed each other
to survive the pain of them being gone.
So take my hand my friend,
we may stumble and fall along the way,
but we'll get up and try again,
because together we can make it day by day.
We can give each other hope,
we’ll create a place where we belong,
Together we will find ways to cope,
because we are Angel Mums and together we are strong!
NEVER A TRUER WORD...
A Child that loses a parent is an orphan,
A Man who loses his wife is a widower,
A Woman who loses her husband is a widow,
There is no name for a parent that loses a child,
for there is no word to describe the pain
