My Little Cam

Welcome to Cameron's web page. He's not only my 3 1/2 year old son, but my hero. I began this website with the intent to bring people closer to God because I knew that is what Cameron would have wanted me to do. In the beginning, I asked if people would climb upon this balloon on the side of the page. I never quite knew what the balloon would do from day to day. Some days were very bumpy, and some were smooth. The other night, we had this horrible updraft wind, and I wanted to reassure everyone out there who have been following Cameron that even though this last storm was so scary our balloon never crashed but rather it rose higher and higher until it safely landed in Heaven.

The air is full of butterflies,
Flying so effortlessly in the sky.
No weight they carry, to hold them down.
Never a worry or a frown.
And yet not long ago, they were...
A crawling little... caterpillar.
I wonder if they knew they'd be...
A beautifully butterfly, flying so free.
They do not question how long they'll live...
But are happy with each day God gives.
They trust that he will always provide,
whatever they need...to survive.
So learn to trust...and fly away,
from cares and worries of today.
See how beautiful life can be...
Rely on Jesus, to supply your needs.

To My Little Cameron

My little Cameron
looking at you
seeing only an angel
through and through

Eyes sparkle with laughter
smile so bold and so clear
yet I see deeper
into my child so pure

Life started fragile
I had to be strong
I thought I was the key
but I was drasically wrong

Cancer overtook you
with nothing I could do
realizing GOD was the key
he gave me to you

Knowing I'd devote
prayers and my love
to a child so tiny
but sent from above

Not an ordinary child
seen clearly now
but a small gift of Heaven
different somehow

So, my dear son
straight from God's care
appeared this little angel
He told me to share

I've shared you with many
touched all their hearts
you stand center stage
playing a remarkable part

Cameron, God blessed you
with spreading his word
in a story so touching
I know it was heard

I love you, Cameron (Your Mommy)

Are you gifted in doing counted cross-stitch by hand? Here is a wonderful organization that you (and others you know who quilt) can donate a square to make a quilt for a child who has a life threatening or lifelong illness. Click the banner below and check out the Love Quilts site thoroughly as it explains how the organization works and how to donate.

This link is the first one listed below.

You may also donate, material, counted cross stitch squares, or money to be made into quilts for sick children. These may be sent directly to me. Please contact me via email on the bottom. If you would like to view the latest quilt, click on the second link into my webshot album.

As the year comes to an end, we find ourselves reflecting on the past year. I also reflect on the sadness that overtook me this time of year. It’s been years now since, I lost my little Cam., but somehow each December reminds me of putting up the tree on the weekend, and leaving for the hospital the following Monday. I still remember that big blob of lights that got stuck in the tree that year. I was putting up the lights that year and Cameron yelled at me from the other room. I wadded the lights up as fast as I could and set them inside near the truck, so they would fall and get tangled. By the time I returned to finish decorating, I had forgotten that blob of lights. We definitely had a bright spot in our tree that year even though Cameron was no longer with us. I never quite figured out what it was until I took the tree down that year. I miss him so much and wish he were here with us this Christmas.

I know there will always be a special part of him each Christmas though as I pack up the box for the Children’s hospital. My charity stitching group has just been awesome this year, so along with the quilts, I also have many cross stitched ornaments, bookmarks, and knitted hats for the oncology clinic.

I’ve also been very busy this past month trying to finish up a little Scooby doo quilt for my little stocking elf project. This little boy that I was chosen to be his elf, reminds me so much of Cameron. He’s 5 years old, and is very small stature like Cameron (he’s only in a 24 month size). This little boy is very sick and definitely needed a little quilt to snuggle under this year. Anyhow, I just finished it up a couple of days go, and you’re welcome to take a peek at it by selecting my webshot album below.

Thank you for those of you that still check in on me from time to time, and may God Bless and watch over all of you through this upcoming holiday season.
