I apologize if you thought this was an addition to the story; I just really had to say this.
I wanted to express my complete and utter thanks to all of those who left me messages of condolence. Certain people I have known my entire life and considered good friends have not even said one word to me, yet people who haven't even met me once have taken the time to write to me.
It's been a year since Rick was taken from all of us, and I really would like you all to know that your kind words helped more than you will ever know.
I feel terrible that I didn't reply to every single one, but please don't mistake silence for ignorance. Each one of your comments meant a lot to me.
Thank you very much,
Nick
