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

The bonds of love that bind us all never fade away
But carry on, stay ever strong, forever and a day.
What we have shared connects us, bonded soul to soul,
And love’s ties warm and cheer us, though life’s trials take their toll.
Even when we physically are no longer there,
Our spirits and our souls live on, constant in their care;
For family ties are forged with love and sharing over time,
Not just one life but many, till we reach the light sublime.
We all act out our many plays; we live out many themes,
We learn so much through sharing, caring, following our dreams
Until the day comes when we find that it’s our time to go,
To stretch our wings on different planes, find other ways to grow.
While waiting there we work and learn, living in the light,
Until that unknown, glorious day, when we will all unite
Once more with love with those we’ve known so many times before,
Eventually to reach the stage when partings are no more.

Hi Sandi
I am so pleased the walk was a success. Had a feeling it would be! You got a lovely day for it to. I don't know where my head is at, but just clicked that the walk was on the 17th Aug as it was Nicks anniversary then and a year exactly. What a lovely way to remember Nick. Have a sneaky feeling he was watching with pride. Dannys is the 9th Sept. They are both so close together.
I can't rem if i told you, but Mark and i bought a static caravan, in Pettycur Bay, overlooking the beach. Its a lovely place. Each caravan has a place on the hill overlooking the water and we go there quite a lot now and sit out on the decking and watch the sail boats, surfers ect and take our dog long walks along the beach (hes a springer spaniel who thinks hes a dolphin! Just loves the sea!). We have taken up wind surfing at the grand old age of 40. Its a real adrenalin rush (think we are morphing into a pair of old hippies!). At night we sit out with s glass of wine and watch the sun set and Edinburgh all lit up across the water. Its become our sanctuary. Our friends also come up a lot (really good facilities, theres a hotel on site with great entertainment, a restaurant, pool, sauna, gym, golf ect). We stay up there about 4 nights a week and so i am only on the GTS site a couple of times a week now when i am back home.
Well, hope all is well with you Sandi and the family. Will say night night now as i have rambled on enough!!! Sending all our love, always
Gail
Sweet dreams Nick.
I love you son with a permanence
That will endure the passing years.
I love you with a joyfulness
That subdues all doubts and fears.
I love you with an honesty
That was sown within my heart.
I love you with the calm belief
That we will never truly part.
I love you with a confidence
No earthly force can sever.
I love you with the certainty
That I’ll cherish you forever.
I love you with the humbleness
Of one who has been blessed.
I love you with the reverence
Of all that word suggests.
I love you with a tenderness
That time cannot reverse.
I love you son with a feeling
That poets cannot put to verse.
I borrowed this off Gails site i thought how lovely it was xx
Hi Nick,

love Grandad xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi Nick, well it doesn't seem possible that a year has gone by since we last saw you. We have missed you so much, there is a big gap in our lives that only you could fill.We have had sad times, then the happy memories come flooding back to us, our love for you is as strong as ever and always will be.
Your mum, dad and Gemma are putting so much work in for the charity, i don't know where they get their strength from, they are all doing a good job for you. I know it helps them to cope with missing you.
We will keep you in our hearts forever Nick we loved you then, now and always
from Nan and Grandad xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Proud To Take Part
I feel so proud to have been a part of the sponsored walk that took place for Nick, me and my close family came over from Nottingham, we felt it really important to all be together on such a sad, but inspiring day. Well done Sandie and Symon for Getting it all together in every sense of the word, for all your organising and publicity, it must have been so hard for you at this devastating time. Not forgetting Our Mum and Dad, Joan and Vic who despite advancing years have worked tirelessly on the tombola stall becoming a popular attraction during the summer, raising a truly amazing amount for Nick, he would be so proud of all of you.
Thinking of you Nick
Love Lorraine(Aunt), Richard and Alex xxx
Also Love from Vicky, Ben and Jamie (cousins) Who also Miss you and think of you often xxx
Thinking of you Nick and your loving family, so sorry for your loss, I lost my Dad to cancer, Love to you all, Linda (Eric Snell) xxx
When all the songs are over
and all the words been said
The sun grows dim across the sky
and the world prepares for bed
I often take a moment now
to view the sky above
and whisper God a simple prayer
’Take care of my boy with love’.
