Hi Elizabeth. I stumbled across your substack and have been reading backward in tears. I cannot believe your sweet boys are now men, and I cannot imagine the grief you experience over the loss of your curious, kind, and tender son. I fondly remember my time as your babysitter and hope you are all otherwise well.

Jeanna - It's so kind of you to reach out. I'm so happy to hear that you're a doctor and a mom. Thank goodness for babysitters like you or I would have been tearing my hair out many days. Sending love, Elizabeth

Such a beautiful way to remember a loved one! I have Nick's artwork up on the walls in my library. We also created Nick's Nook that's in his middle grade library. Each year we donate money to buy books for it. Some of Nick's penguin drawings are there as are Manga drawings from one of his friends.

I always thought about creating a comic about the penguins but stickers could be a cool way to shine his light on the world. Thanks for sharing Adam's page and much love to him and you.

My strongest connection with Nick is through my dreams. It's a precious gift and I'm glad you have connected with Henry.❤️
