No one should have to go through what Ty and your family endured. It is truly unfathomable! <br /><br />You, Ty, and your family have made more of an impact on my life than you will ever know. Your words in your blog which so obviously come from your heart have put my life in perspective every time I receive one of your emails. While I am usually near tears at some point, smiling at other points, I always think of your beautiful boys and you have definitely honored Ty time and again in the most beautiful way possible! <br /><br />I have a 14 year old son and we lived in Pawling when Dylan was young. You have helped me to be grateful and not sweat silly things (most of the time) lol. Your sheer strength and love for your husband and children is obvious in every word you write. <br /><br />Dylan and I are trying very hard to do something special to raise awareness for childhood cancer. I will let you know the details if we are successful. (We should know by the end of the week)<br /><br />Please know that I have shared your story with anyone who will listen and i will continue to do so! I believe you and Lou are amazing! Im sure Ty and Gavin are very proud of all that you are doing!<br /><br />Be strong and keep up the great work! I hope to help you in some small way.<br /><br />Christine Dodge<br />Yonkers, NY<br /><br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPadChristine Dodge of Yonkers NYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797283590776177236.post-75765912247511669472013-08-29T05:10:53.674-04:002013-08-29T05:10:53.674-04:00I can't wait to see the day that cancer is onl...I can't wait to see the day that cancer is only mentioned in reference to the past.

My son lost his biological mother to brain cancer four years ago so she is considered our guardian Angel. My son always prays "dear mommy, please watch over ty, Liam (lyon), Jessica (Ridgeway), beau (a current pow), and wormie (his pet worm that died)". I just wanted you to know that even a five year old who never met ty is touched by the impact he made on all of us, especially since his passing. Ty reminds me to wake up each day with the intention to do something good and cherish each day. From the bottom of our hearts, my family and I love your family and you are in our prayers every night.

I miss you.tatiana kidanovhttp://www.facebook.com/tatiana.kidanovanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797283590776177236.post-24416330297706929212013-08-20T09:14:18.491-04:002013-08-20T09:14:18.491-04:00I so wish that my prayers and the prayers of other...I so wish that my prayers and the prayers of others would have saved Ty.

Your experience as Ty's mother has allowed me to love my son with a preciousness and presence that I may not have discovered otherwise. I can't thank you enough for baring your soul to us. Your beautiful family is changing the direction of so many things for the better. So many things. Consider me one of Ty's little soldiers, spreading awareness for the most deserving cause. On behalf of humanity, thank you for all you're giving!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16492891279620130563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797283590776177236.post-65867413707961728912013-08-19T23:54:23.202-04:002013-08-19T23:54:23.202-04:00Sending love and prayers.

Why did this beautiful little boy have to suffer like this, why do any kids have to suffer like this. I wish more people would see this and get outraged - it's almost like we've become so numb to suffering that people can't see this for what it really is - a child going through unbearable pain and we as adults are not doing enough to protect them. It's amazing to hear grown-ups suffering through cancer treatment say how children going through the same inspire them. Of course anyone battling cancer, young or old, deserves to have moments of self pity - but I'd imagine once you see a kid waiting for chemo or knowing they are dealing with the same agonies you are, it must be quite an eye opener and makes it hard to feel sorry for yourself. I wish I could take the pain and suffering of these kids and make it my own. I wish change would come faster for these kids. They don't deserve to suffer while we try to make things better - especially when we're up against such ambivalence by so many. We just have to keep at it and pray that the momentum is shifting our way and that real change will come sooner then later. Standing with you as you work so hard to make that shift happen. I'll never forget Ty, RIP Little Fighter. Stay strong Campbell's.

We don't know how many rungs this ladder has, nor do we know how high we are to reaching the top. But the effort that you have put forth, in Ty's memory, and the funding and awareness you have been able to contribute toward this fight has helped to climb many, many, many rungs of this ladder. No matter when the cure for cancer is eventually found, or proper treatment is discovered, you HAVE ALREADY contributed so much toward the goal...all because of Ty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797283590776177236.post-51085698047925826512013-08-16T12:23:01.751-04:002013-08-16T12:23:01.751-04:00Yes I absolutely agree!

This is a beautiful letter from Lisa.. please know that every single day i wake up and check your blog, wondering how you all are. Ty impacted my life in many ways big and small. I will always remember him and think of him and love him and miss him. It wasn't your fault that you couldn't save him. If your love could have saved him, Ty would have lived forever. God bless you all, we all miss that sweet, beautiful angel baby. XoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
