Nolan's footprint may have been small but it was very impactful. Not only did he touch our lives but his short life affected and is still affecting many, many people. Because of Nolan, Marshall and I became parents. In his memory 50 trees were planted in a protected forest in FL, two stars shine bright in the sky bearing his name, one autistic child went to surf camp and many more people were made aware of inexplainable stillbirths. The greatest legacy Nolan left behind was the one he left inside Marshall and I. It is true that part of a baby's DNA remains inside the mother for decades. I remember feeling him inside me long after he was no longer with us. Some people experience phantom pains from limbs that have been removed, well I felt phantom kicks months after Nolan was gone from inside me. Not a day goes by that Marshall and I don't think of Nolan and wish he was still here. I try to learn from Nolan and never take any moment for granted. I cherish every single second I get with Ronan knowing all too well just how limited our time together could be.
