Noah

[maroo]

Corey - I just want to thank you again for creating the "Noah" icon.

Sweet Noah passed away a year ago tomorrow (July 29).

Noah was only 3 years old when he went on his wish trip and passed away only a few short months later - but the impact he had on so many here on the DIS was nothing short of amazing.

How a little boy that could not really talk reached so many people is simply amazing.

I was able to meet this family in real life and spent one of the most amazing afternoons of my entire life playing at GKTW with Noah and his family. GKTW is an amazing place and watching them play - and playing right along side them - was something I truly cherish.

Noah passed away one year ago tomorrow. I am hoping that we can really show Nichole some support tomorrow and post on her blog and write her notes here.

Here are some pics of Noah that are some of my personal favorites.

I am honestly in tears. What a precious child - and amazing spirit. We miss you, Noah.

And we love you, Nichole, Brad, Joshua and Kailyn!


His blog is: http://noahgrantjohn.blogspot.com/

Let's leave them lots of comments today.



And if you are interested in reading about their trip - here is a long, but wonderful, thread to read:

Noah's Wish Trip Pre-Trip report and Trip Report

Corey - thanks again for all you did for Noah's family in creating that sweet icon. I know it has been a sad week here on the Podcast board - but I am so inspired by those around here that give so much of themselves when bad things happen - completely inspired.

Thanks for all you guys are doing to support GKTW!

A very dear friend's child passed away one year today that was also a pediatric cancer patient...so this thread hits very close to home. I know they've made so many advances in the treatment of these horrible diseases (it prolonged his life by three years), but it breaks my heart that so many must suffer. Rest in peace Sam, Noah, and the countless others that were taken too soon.

I saw this on your FB wall last night. I volunteered at GKTW last week and worked the carousel. I recognized it instantly in this photo. We miss you, Noah.

I've been thinking about this all last week and this week, knowing today was coming. My heart is breaking for Nichole and her family.

Noah's story touched me in a way I can't explain. It inspired me to be a part of the gktw tshirt fundraiser last year, and I think of their family often.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family today

I really can not believe it has been a year. He is in a better place, not in pain and happy as can be. May he RIP.
