We were given several piece of artwork to remember Nolan by, all were dealing with the ocean, sand or sky. Several of the pieces were Nolan's name written in the sand with a beautiful ocean background. My favorite is the purple sky sunset with Nolan's name written in the sand given to us by several of my friends from high school. Another favorite is of an angel drawn in the sand with the ocean water rushing up to meet it. The ocean will always be a symbol to us of Nolan. We had the ocean in mind when we made his nursery and Marshall had big dreams of taking him surfing in that ocean. To me the ocean reminds me that there are forces out there much more powerful than us and to which we have no control over. Every day the tides ebbs and flows, no thanks to any human intervention. No, there's a force much greater than any we could create that moves the vast ocean back and forth. It's humbling really and makes us aware of our place in the vast universe.
