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.

No matter how many times I swore that I leave Ty in God's hands, I was always clinging onto him with every ounce of my being. Researching. Fighting. Begging. Doing anything in my power to find a way to save him. Finally, I have exhausted my options and I am letting go. I may be kicking and screaming, but I am still loosening my grip because I know that I have to. We have tried so hard, for so long....
