Amanda, your blog has been remarkable, and very inspirational for me: my T18 princess turns 1 in two days time... Your little fella is at peace forever now, and you can stand proud at having given him such a beautiful life, full of real love and quality time.. Best mum ever. I will think of Nolan at the time of the memorial, and send you all my positive thoughts. xxx
Amanda -
I'm so, so sorry for the loss of Nolan. I am so very glad for his life. Your post is remarkable - I hope it will bring you peace in the coming days to know he was ready to go. I know too well it will not diminish the pain but that there will be comfort alongside it from Nolan himself. His journey has been remarkable and you've been such wonderful parents!
Nolan - you are loved so much and will be missed every minute. Watch over your sweet family who squeezed a lifetime of love into your time here.
Let me know if I can be of support in any way.
Love to you,

Dear Amanda and family
I am so very very sorry for your loss. I am crying as I write this... my heart just bleeds for you all.
It makes every moment I have with Mikayla just that much more precious.
Know that around the world there are people praying for you as you go through these sad times.
And while it may not diminish the pain; and the sadness here on earth... know that Nolan is in Heaven, free and watching over his very precious family.
Sending you all much love

We are saddened to hear about the passing of Nolan. No one else can truly feel the sorrow that you bear. Although Nolan's time with you was brief, he only felt love in his life. Nolan has given you many beautiful and lasting memories. May you all find comfort and peace knowing we are here to remember your precious son, Nolan, with you, today and always.

Dear Amanda and family,
Last sunday evening I read the heart breaking news that Nolan past away... I know that you feel peace for your brave little boy but at the samen time the emptiness is unbearable. Knowing that Nolan is at a beautifull gives you strength but missing your child hurts so bad...
When I found out that Nolan had to let go I cried and could stop. It almost felt Like I lost my little girl al over again. We lost our Jazz* last may 16 days afther she was born. We found out about her full T18 after here birth... The pictures of Nolan that showed his grow was a little bit her grow, his smile was here smile... Nolan showed me the things that Jazz* didn't got to show us becaus here time was come... We loved the short-film of him having the giggles, it's priceless. He is sutch a special boy, we will never forget him...
I want to thank you for sharing your journey and I want to let you know that al over the world there are people feeling your pain, thinking about you and your familie... but most of all Nolan touched our hearts...
Lots of love

Hi Amanda,
You don't know me, nor do I know you. But I have been following your blog for months now... When we found out our little princess might have trisomy 18, I turned to the story of those like you who were going through the same situation as a form of comfort, I guess. I must say you were my biggest inspiration, you are young and strong!! And almost the same age as I am... but I loved checking out your updates and everytime they brought tears of joy to my eyes!! Little Nolan was such a fighter and an inspiration!! I only hope, wish and pray that if my little one has trisomy 18, she can be as strong and as brave as Nolan. I'm so very sorry for your loss, and my prayers are with you. Little Nolan is now in heaven and will always be watching over you. You are truly an amazing woman, and an even more amazing mother!!
Dear Amanda and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have been following your blog since this past August when our son Noah was born with trisomy 18. I found comfort in reading about Nolan and it gave me hope that I would be able to spend as much time with my Noah, as you did with Nolan. Your strength and courage is an inspiration to me. Thank you so much for sharing Nolan through your blog, he will truly be missed.
My condolences to you and your family.

My sister is 20 and pregnant with a baby boy with trisomy 18. She has been so desperate for someone to talk to in their twenties. Maybe, if you can she would love it.
