Cam has made it through another round of chemo and is still feeling pretty good. His hair is starting to come back and he’s had a great time with his cousins who are visiting from Georgia this week, so life for him has been as good as it can be at this point. He made a comment last night that he “was sick of taking these pills, but I know I have to so I can get rid of this yucky cancer in my back”…what an amazing kid. We’ve often wondered how much Cam really understood the things which are going on around him, but I guess he’s just shown us he knows everything he needs to know.
It’s been an emotional few days as one of the other children we’ve come to know during Cam’s journey has just passed away. As parents in a situation like this, LeAnn and I have had to face the thoughts of what might happen, but for it to hit you in the face like Nick’s passing has really stops you in your tracks. He was such a funny, sweet kid it really makes your heart hurt to see him go, but at the same time you have to be “happy” he no longer has to struggle in this world and is now free of any pain and suffering. While that’s not much consolation to parents grieving over such a tremendous loss, it’s the only thing I can cling to in order to keep me from losing my mind wondering if/when our time will come to face the same thing Nick’s parents are right now.
