"I love you mommy," the four-year-old told Ruth Scully, just before he died.
The grieving mother shared that story and the hours leading up to it in an emotional Facebook post last week on her son's "NolanStrong" page, dedicated to chronicling his fight against of Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare soft-tissue cancer. It has since received more than 600,000 shares and close to a million reactions.
Writing "two months since I've held you in my arms, heard how much you loved me, kissed those sweetie 'pie' lips," the post includes one of their finals conversations and a picture of Nolan on a shower rug "where once a beautiful, perfect little boy laid waiting for his Mommy."

God bless this mother. I lost my son not long ago and it is crushing. God bless her.
ReplyDeleteHeart wrenching. I hope he is at peace and that somehow his family finds comfort and keeps his memory alive!
ReplyDeleteOMG! That is so sad. I hope God gives her the strength to move on with her life.
ReplyDeleteI can think of no other thing worse than to have outlived your children. Children are the light of our lives. Watching them play and laugh just brings a smile to our faces. There is no better sound than the sound of a child's laughter.
So heartbreaking. I pray Nolan's family will find peace as they travel grief's journey.
