My Baby, My Nico…

Nico was my only son. My Life, My Soul, My Purpose. We shared and did everything together. Nico was a beautiful soul with a heart of gold.

He saw the good in all people. He always put his feelings aside, cared more for others, and put others before him. There was never a stranger in his eyes. He loved life to the fullest and had a free spirit. He had a beautiful sense of humor, always smiling and making others laugh, the life and light of the room. He would always say, ‘It’s All Good”. He was very intelligent with that entrepreneurial spirit that never stopped. During his freshman year, he came up with an idea for a bagel food truck… Bagels and Bites. It never stopped there. He had many good ideas and strived to succeed. He radiated creativity in art and music, selling art covers for albums and writing music.

On June 4th, 2018, at 6:33 pm our lives changed forever.

My Nico lost his battle with Mental Health, the “Silent Epidemic,” from young adult suicide. In trying to come to terms with what happened, I began researching young adult suicide and mental health. The statistics are very alarming. Over 100 young adults this week will become victims of youth suicide. Young adult suicide can be prevented, and that is what Nico Hope For Life Foundation is all about.

My Baby, My Nico,

You made my life complete and fulfilled all my dreams. Your name we live on, and I promise you I will complete all your DREAMS. I miss you and I look forward to the day we are together again …. To my family and friends, thank you and bless your hearts for all the love you poured into My Nico, OUR SON.
