I came upon your story by way of your cousin, Heather. I reached out to Heather and sent her a small gift for you. My son, William, died 7.5 years ago. Facebook was unknown to me then and I felt very alone. Eventually I came upon an amazing mother, blogger and woman; Sheila Quirke better known as Mary Tyler Mom. MTM blogged her daughter’s cancer story and shares it every September. It was in reading her story that I found the strength to share my own.
As a fellow grieving mother I want to say that you, sharing your story, especially so soon after Cameron’s death; is such a testament to the strength within you. I won’t bother with platitudes. I just wanted to reach out to you personally and let you know that I am incredibly sorry that you and your family are facing life without your son. It is a pain no parent should ever endure.
Although I did not find a balloon, you can add me to the list of people who have been touched by your son. In life and in death he has made his imprint on the world. He will not be forgotten.
I am on Facebook, my email is listed above. I would welcome the opportunity to talk with you.
Sending love, light, and profound empathy.
Regina

Bobby! Thanks for reading. Cool story right?! Love that he responded to the email. There are probably many that wouldn’t.

The very first thing that came to my mind as I read about the incredible recovery in Mass. was, “Wings of an Angel.”

I have been following your family’s story. I have 3 young boys myself and can relate to so much in your blog posts about raising kids. Cameron seems like a wonderful little boy and my heart breaks for you. After reading your posts for weeks and I had to take the chance to tell you that your story, Cameron’s story has made a big impact on me. God bless you and your sweet girls and I pray for your peace.
Kimberly
