And you know what? He always will be -- friends ARE for life, even if they aren't here with us physically any longer. My son Shayne fenced with Luke a few times and they were just becoming friends (science nerds unite!). The day we heard the awful news, I came upon this beautiful black feather with white spots. I immediately thought of Luke for some reason, and ever since then Shayne and I have been collecting a feather every day. Shayne believes it's Luke's way of letting us know that he's still flying -- soaring, in fact -- and that he and his family are happy and free. We'll never forget Luke. What a remarkable kid!!! Thanks again, Nico... your story made us smile. Nico, thank you for sharing this story… you bet Luke was there!! And you know what?

I think we'll all find ways to share their presence in our lives. Someone once said, "Nothing that ever was is ever lost." We all connect, it's exciting when you KNOW you are doing so. :-) Take care.

Thank you for sharing this story with all of us. I can never get enough stories, it helps keep them all near to me. I know who wrote this story and I want to send my thank yous to a very special young man who promised me he will always have hugs for me from himself and Luke. (Thanks N.S. I love you too!)
