it's going to be 21 years since I lost my beautiful Nicholas tomorrow, for me it's been a long and hard journey😞 as you know I think of Nick every day. I'm going to share a story that I think shows how beautiful and mysterious Nicholas was. Nick ring me randomly one afternoon and said he was at Sammys playing the pokie machines and had just won the jackpot of $960 😳 the young girl that was there didn't know what to do and said to come back later to get his winnings with his ID. Nick wanted me to go with him, we both turned up later on in the afternoon and Sunny Chin was there. He said let me see your ID and proceeded just show the young lady what to look for to make sure that it was authentic. Nick and I looked at each other and smiled. He then started to count out the money, much to Nicholas delight. Little did Sunny know that Nick was just 17 at the time and had falsified his ID. Well that was Nick even at a young age pushing the boundaries. Nick was just such a bloody delight to have and be around. Fly high son. Dad

It's now been 20 years since my Beautiful son Nicholas was taken so cruelly from this world, it's been a nightmare no parent should ever have to face, but sadly this was only the start of the nightmare, (Nicholas actually died on 11 March) Nicholas was cowardly punched by a gutless coward 20 years ago today. I was the one in intensive care when my beautiful Nicholas flatlined, I was the one holding his hand when he left this world. Profound grief is the most extraordinary thing to have to face and face it I did, although reluctantly, it never goes away. It's with me every day, in fact several times every day. I'm not really that interested in the mechanism of loss it's what Nicholas meant and continues to me mean to me that really counts and what our relationship represented, trust, respect and commitment to each other, it was a privilege and an honour to watch my beautiful son develop and grow into the gorgeous young men that he was. I will forever remember Nicholas and never forget him and forever love my Beautiful Beautiful son. Fly Hi Son Fly Free. Dad

Good morning lovely people 😊 Well I have some news, for the first time in years I've planted a block of one year old Xmas Trees 👍I haven't planted any significant numbers for about 12 years. My intention is, over the next few years is to build the Xmas Tree farm back to where it used to be or even better in my retirement in two to three years 😀 It's going to take me some years but at least I've made a start.

My beautiful son Nicholas would have been 38 years old today. I think of Nicholas everyday, well that's not entirely true I think of Nicolas several times everyday. He was such a large part of my life, our life together. 18 years 4 months and 24 days of utter joy. He just loved life and his enthusiasm was so infectious for all of us that were around him. He told me he loved going on adventures with me but the feeling was mutual. Keep flying high son, fly free. Dad

So it's now 19 years without my beautiful beautiful son Nicholas 🙁 hard to believe.
When Nick was in year 12 he went to a retreat in Mosgiel, I was asked to write a letter to him, this is his reply.
Dear Dad,
Thank you for the letter, they were a great surprise. You have always been an awesome father to me and I believe I wouldn't be the man I am today if it wasn't for your guidance and support. Through some hard times with your help I got through them and did come out more mature and knowing what to be aware of in this wild world. You have always made every day special for me. By you letting me run the Christmas trees and working in your forestry gang, you have let me grow up and learn myself by my own mistakes. I love going away on trips with you, even if we were just hanging out and chatting about everyday life. You are always full of energy, get up and go. Your always the first up when were off to get firewood and pushing me along in everything I do (Which I need at times) Your a great father in every way, from all the holidays you've taken me on and sending me to Kavanagh, which I'm so grateful for I can't stress it enough, to Jujitsu also. getting me into the Beatles haha John Lennon, the best band in the world. Giving me the freedom most parents wouldn't, I've learnt for myself. To when you go away to Wanaka and know it's great for me to live in different environments, you are always around, most of my mates fathers are not anything compared to you. You have brought me up so well, I look forward to the future with you in it, going away on trips and getting alone as best friends as we always have and always will. Thanks very much for always being there Dad. I love you. Love Nick
This is a look into our very special world, it's not about me ! It's about Nick and an insight into his world and how he perceived things.
I still miss Nick every bloody day, I always will.

Hi all 🙂
I hope you are all well.
I've been struggling with an anniversary that's coming up 🙁 on August the 5th, Nicks going to have been dead longer than he was alive. In conjunction with Raewyn, Instead of ignoring it we thought we would acknowledge the occasion with a gathering of all those interested. It's going to be at Rhubarb on Sunday the 6th August 2023 from 3:30pm to 5:30pm ish, interestingly one month from today. There will be some food provided and Sam is going to stay open for hot drinks and some wine and beer at a small cost. We would love to see you all there and share some stories about the legend that is Nicholas Munro.
Johnie & Raewyn

It's hard to believe that in five days time it's going to be 18/Eighteen yes Eighteen bloody years since my beautiful Nicholas was killed 🙁 I say my beautiful Nicholas but he was clearly everyones Nicholas.
I always find it SO hard to acknowledge the anniversaries, it's so heart breaking for me to have to face 🙁 Fast forward four months and 25 days and Nick would have been dead longer than he was alive 🙁, I'm finding it so hard to come to terms with that. I'm thinking of having a get together to acknowledge the milestone, what do you think ?
I can't remember how old Nick was when he shot his first deer, maybe 14/15, we were hunting up at Young's and came across two hinds (Female Deer) we were humming and harring about shooting one of them when Nick shot one, I was slightly ahead of him and the percussion from the rifle nearly defend me, OMG.
Nick's shot was true and the hind went down. Nick was SO excited about his first Fallow, he was so great to be around and share experiences with, just the best. I miss him as much now as I did eighteen years ago. As always, fly high son fly free. Johnie
