Lord how I wished I could see you post a current video like this...my heart is breaking for you Cindy. I have started over tonight reading your book from the beginning, can't sleep anyway, haven't slept much at all since your heart breaking post,I go to bed with him on my mind and I wake up to him on my mind before opening my eyes, I always hear the song "Here comes the sun" in my head. I get up several times thru the night to check in to see if you have updated...please know that MANY are praying and MANY hearts are breaking for you and your family. I am praying for a miracle, I am praying for God's Will, I am praying for peace that surpasses all understanding and I am praying it all in Jesus Christ Name. God love you all, you precious family.
I really love this video Cindy. Beautiful boy - and so strong. A complete inspiration. Love to you, Lou and Gavin and my prayers are still with Ty. He's an angel now, and in paradise.
Ty Louis Campbell is gone, but his story continues. This is our promise to him. His impact on the world around him gives his short but inspirational life such meaning. His soaring spirit will continue to fuel a fire in our hearts, and strangers around the world will continue to fall in love with the little boy who fought so valiantly. The little boy who hurt so much, but maintained a bigger, brighter smile than the healthiest of children. Ty never did break his fever. He never really woke up. Not until he decided to leave this earth and fly freely among the clouds. At that very moment, he was awake. He had returned to Lou and I to say goodbye. To say our hearts are broken would be like saying it tickles to have your stomach ripped open with a spoon. I went to bed last night with so much worry on my mind, but I was able to fall asleep because I was calmed by the fact that in his semi-conscious s...
Every morning, I make coffee. I am completely in love with my morning cup (or three), and I don't know how I could start the day without it. But since Ty died, I have had a very hard time making my coffee in the morning. And, every day it tastes absolutely terrible. Gross, in fact. I might have to go out for coffee in the morning from now on... Since we moved to Pawling, three months after his original cancer diagnosis, Ty and I started a coffee ritual. Ty's legs were so weak but his upper body was strong (at the time), so I often let him sit on the counter in our new kitchen so I could do what I needed to do without him feeling left out - not even for one second. One of the most important of which was making coffee. Ty and me, we were two peas in a pod. We did EVERYTHING together. I can't tell you how lonely I am now. For the first time in so long, I am having a hard time explaining my grief...
Yesterday was the first time Lou and I really emerged from our house of sadness, and I am so happy we did. First we attended a local dedication to Ty at Pawling's "Socktoberfest" soccer tournament, where Ty received a gold jersey from the soccer club and his number - number one - will forever be "retired" just for him. Later that day we met up with over a hundred people in Poughkeepsie for a candle lighting ceremony. I don't know how she pulled it off, but in less than a week's time Lou's cousin Renee arranged for the Mid-Hudson Bridge to be lit in gold lights to spread awareness for pediatric cancer in honor of Ty. It couldn't have been a more beautiful night, and I felt Ty everywhere. Thank you so much for all of you who came out to light a candle for Ty, and thank you so much to Julia who sang so beautifully - it was wonderful and my whole family was so touched by the tribute. Ty's amazing nurse from MSKCC, Sue, travelled so far to ...
