Baby Cameron! You gave me an unbelievable amount of JOY and HAPPINESS in your precious short time on earth. You did for me exactly what you were suppose to. That is; Love and Happiness to last me a life-time. Poppy and I  Loved making Precious memories with you.  One of our fondest memories is ,after several attempts, finally, you were able to pull Poppy's cap from his head. This was such a blessing.Poppy almost had you saying "I-LUV_U". You were such a beautiful Special Grand-son.  God worked with you in a mighty way, touching many lives, and continuing to do so today. You taught  love, how to love, and how to be loved.  You had the most beautiul and softest skin. At  times I can almost feel your skin.Have had many wonderful dreams of you and knowing in my heart one day those dreams will be reality.  I believe wth all my heart and soul I will see you again in Heaven.You will always  have a Special place  in my heart for ever and ever.Thank you!!! Happy Birthday My Precious Little 3-year-old-Bundle--Of-Joy I LUV U, Nanny Gray

Love,

 Mommy

Cameron~

 How can it be a year. I still feel you in my arms, I still feel your sweet breath against my cheek,I still hear you sweet laugh, and I still see your sweet face. I know it is so selfish but I want you back here with me. I know how much better you are now. Now you and Matthew can run and play. Neither of you ever seize or have apnea. Just to see you,hold you,and kiss you again, would be the answer to my prayers. The love and joy you have brought into my life are beyond my wildest dreams. I never knew  how much I could love till I held you in my arms. You are my heart, and the reason I keep going. I will see you soon, my little angel. I am going to release some balloons today, share them with the other little angels. I love you more than words can ever say.

Loving you today and always,

 Mommy

Cameron~

 Today is Father's Day, and I know how much your Daddy loves and misses you. Not a day goes by that you are not in both of our hearts and thoughts. You are the best thing to ever happen to your Dad and me. We both love and miss you so much. The photo I attatched is from Father's Day last year. You and your Daddy look so much alike. Be good in Heaven and always know how much you are loved and missed.

Loving you Today and Always,

 Mommy

Cameron~

 Today is Mother's Day and I miss you so much. I know that you are happy in Heaven and have Matthew and so many other baby angels to play with. Not a minute goes by that you are not in my thoughts and in my heart. I remember the wonderful Mother's Day that we had last year and I treasure that day and everyday that I was blessed to hold you and kiss you. I would give anything to hold and kiss you again. I know we will see each other soon. Until then you have Matthew, Great Oma, Pawpaw Latham, Mawmaw Latham, Uncle Kevin, and so many others to love you and hold you until Mommy gets there. Ask your Uncle Jack all about being a police man. He was a Police Man just like your Daddy. I'm sure he tell you all about taking Mommy fishing when she was little, and all about the the things your Granddaddy did when he was a little boy. I love you Munkin Man!!!

Loving you Today and Always!!!!!!!!!

Mommy

HAPPY EASTER little buddy!!  I hope you and my Mattie are having a good Easter together in Heaven today.  I hope that you are all having one BIG Easter egg hunt.  Make sure you both share with all of the other angels.  Tell my sweet boy I love him and miss him.  I know your Mommy misses you terribly today and everyday.  Life is hard for us without you boys here, but we'll be OK so don't worry about us.  WE love you boys!  HAPPY EASTER!!!

Love~

Megan~  Your friend Matthew's Mommy 

Happy Easter My Little Angel. I  know that you and Matthew will have big plans today. Take care of eachother, and know how much you are both loved and missed.

Cameron,

  Today is such a special day for me. It was a year ago today that you came home from the hospital. Your Daddy and I were so happy to bring you home, and we miss you so much. You have brought so much love and happiness to my life and I am a better person for having you in my life. I want you and Matthew to take care of eachother until we can get there. I love and miss you so much Little Angel!!!

Loving you today and always,

Mommy

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY CAMERON!!!!!

I hope you have a wonderful birthday in Heaven.  I know how much your Mommy misses you today, and I know how hard it is for us Mommies not to be able to have a first birthday party for our sweet baby boys.  I know that my little angel Matthew is throwing a huge birthday party for you today, just like you did for him.  I know that the two of you will take care of eachother until your mommy and I can get there to take care of you two again.  Don't worry about your mommy because we will help eachother get through this.  Be good and tell Matthew to be good and just know that you are loved and missed by many people today and everyday.

Cameron,

 Happy Birthday, my little Angel! I can not believe it has already been a year. I love and miss you so much. I would give anything to hold you in my arms today and everyday. You are my heart and my soul. I am so overwhelmed with emotion today, this is the best and most bittersweet day of my life. Today the day you were born is the day I learned the true meaning of love. Through you I learned how to be strong and how to face adversity. I thank God everyday for allowing me to be your Mommy, you were sent to me and your Daddy for a reason. I love you baby boy. I wrote you a poem and I hope that you like it. It was so hard to find words to even begin to describe my feelings. I love you.

 To My Angel

Has it already been a year

Since I heard your first cry?

Has that much time passed

Since I first looked into your eyes?

So much time has gone by

Nothing is the same

My heart is so broken

Only your memory eases the pain

A lifetime of love given

A million "I love yous" said

Your laugh is an echo

I still hear in my head

I feel you in my arms

Your little face I can see

I hold you close to my heart

My Little Angel that went to Heaven before me

Loving you today and always,

Mommy

Cameron,

 You are 11 months old today!! Your Daddy and I miss you so much!! Not a day goes by that you are not in our thoughts. I hope that you and Matthew have big plans for your upcoming birthdays. I would give anything to be able to give you a birthday kiss. One day I will be able to, and until then I will remember all the joy and love you have brought into my life.

Loving you forever,

Mommy

"Cannonball"

      Son, this is the first time I have looked here. I have not done as well with your passing as some have. Your Mother misses you very much. She loves you so much! Son , I love you too. I miss you. I had so many plans for you. A father's son is the greatest gift. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am struggling. I tend to push away from people. I keep going, but most of the time it is just the motions of moving on. I am trying. You take care of yourself, Daddy's little "miracle boy". Cameron Shane, every time I pass a park or boys playing outside, i stop and just think of the many things we were going to share. I remember you "passing gas". I used to laugh so much when I would hold you up and call your Mommy to clean your "britches" out. Daddy did not do to well with that! HAHA I love you more everyday. I will see you again soon, Son. I still have people tell me that you are the reason they go on. It is true. You are! Be good for God. There is a very good friend and brother of mine with you. His name is John Ledlow. I am sure that you have met him by now. John will teach you to play ball and things. He was a great athelete. See, he left his daughter at her early age, so he has the opportunity to teach you the things that he wanted for his daughter and the things that I wanted for you. So, he will hunt and fish with you until Daddy gets there. I love you! I love you! I love you! I want you here, but i know that God is in control. So, you just hang in there and wait patiently as your Mommy and Daddy does. We love you!

 

Your Daddy!

Cameron,

I know that I've never met you, but I feel like I know you.  Your Mommy tells me all about you and she loves you and misses you more than anything.  You were and still are so lucky to have such a great Mommy, and she was so lucky to have you.  Only certain people are privledged enough to have the opportunity to take care of real Angels like you and Matthew.  I know that you are now together, and I want you guys to take care of eachother until your Mommy and I can get there.  You two are kind of like brothers now, so be good and stay out of trouble. Don't worry about your Mommy and tell Matthew not to worry about me because we will help eachother get through this until we are able to be with you boys again.  We LOVE you boys more than anything.

~Love Megan~Matthew's Mommy and your Mommy's friend

Cameron,

 Not a day goes by that your sweet face does not cross my mind. You inspire all that I do and all that I am. You are my heart and every day that goes by, the love and strength that you have shown give me the will to go on. I love you little boy!!

Loving you always,

Mommy

Munkin,

  I miss you so much!! I love you!!! I have a new poem for you.

 

A Million Miles Apart

By:Debbie Oyler

 

I know it seems we are

A million mile apart,

But my memories live with you

They stay deep within your heart.

If you listen very closely

To the rustle of the trees,

You'll hear the echo of my laughter

Floating down among the leaves.

And as the sun shines brightly

Spreading light upon your face,

My love flows down from Heaven

Sending you a warm embrace.

I know it seems we are

A million miles apart,

But I am right here with you

I live deep within your heart.

 

I love you Angel!! Merry Christmas!!

Mommy

Munkin,

 It has been four months today since you left us. You've been gone almost longer than you were here. Your headstone was put up last week and it looks beautiful. I miss you so much, thank you for inspiring the person who wrote the letter from you- it helped alot. I think of you so much, and the memories are always happy. I feel you with me always and I love you with all my heart.

               Love

         Mommy

Dear Mommy and Daddy,

 I just wanted to let you know I made it here.

The journey wasn't an easy one,

But it did not take too long.

Everything is so pretty here,

So white, so fresh and new.

I wish that you could close your eyes

And that you could see it too.

Please try not to be sad for me....

I'm in the shelter of his hands.

Here there is no sadness,

No sorrow and pain.

Here there is no crying

No hurt for us again.

Here it is so peaceful,

When all the angels sing.

I really have to go now,

I've just got to go try on my new wings.

Love,

Cameron

P.S.- I miss you and am waiting here for you. I will always be with you, in your heart and in your soul. I am your angel now, and will watch over you as you watched over me. I love you Mommy and Daddy.

Love- Cameron

Munkin,

 I miss you so much. As I sat at the table with our family and we remebered our blessings you were at the top of everyones list. You touched so many lives with your amazing spirit. I am so thankfull for the time we had together, and everyday I feel blessed to have been a part of your amazing life.

  I love you Munkin Man- today and always!!!

        Mommy

Munkin.

 You are eight months old today. I can close my eyes and see your face. I can hear your laugh, and I miss you so much. I am so blessed to have you as my son. Not a day goes by that I do not thank God for my time with you. You taught me about love, faith , courage, strength, and forgiveness. Our time together was short, but the impact you have made on my life is forever. We will be together again soon, when my time on Earth is done. Until then I will have to hold my memories of you close and remember that you are in Heaven and there is no sorrow there. Ask Uncle Kevin to sing you "You Are My Sunshine" for me and know that Mommy would sing it to you and rock you if I could.

                 I love you today and always Munkin Man,

                                       Mommy

The picture is how I remember you! Smiling and a joy! You brought so much love in the short time you were here with us. You and your mom showed me what STRENGTH, DEDICATION, LOVE and SUPPORT can really do!

I know that my time with you was limited, but I cherished every moment and each time I could hold you kiss your sweet cheeks. I can still hear your sweet voice singing in my ears. You were the truest meaning of a blessing that I have ever had the privilege of meeting.

Even though you are not physically here, you will always be a part of ALL MY LIFE! THE BEST PART!!

Munkin,

 I saw this poem on Andrew's web site and it touched my heart and made me think of you!

 

                                          My Wish

                         If I could have a lifetime wish,

                         A dream that would come true,

                        I'd pray to God with all of my heart

                             For yesterday and you

                       A thousand words can not bring you back;

                                I know because I've tried

                      And neither will a million tears;

                                I know because I've cried

                      You left behind my broken heart

                              And happy memories too

                       I never wanted memories

                              I only wanted you

                                      Unknown

This poem expressed my feelings so well, I love you so much and miss you every second of every day. I would give anything for one more second with you. I guess, I'll have to wait, and in the mean time I'll always keep you in my heart and mind.

            I love you today and always!!!!!

                   Mommy

Sweetman-  Today is 3months since your burial.  Even though I was at peace with your homecoming, I thought time would help a little but it has not so far.   The 29th of each month is very difficult and the Monday after is just as hard.  I love and miss you so much!!!! 

You brought such joy to everyone's heart and touched SO MANY lives.   Your accomplishments on earth were amaing.  I thank God each day for you and allowing the time on earth before He "crowned you with honor and glory."  

I love you!!!!!!!!! and I will see you again one day.

Munkin,

 You have been gone three months today, and it still feels like you have been gone only a minute. The only thing that keeps me going are memories of your sweet face, and the knowledge that I'll see you soon. I thank God every day for the time I had with you, and for blessing me with a child as special as you. You are the biggest blessing in my life, and my life will be forever enriched from the the time we had together.  I miss you every second of every day, and will always.

                                       I love you Munkin Man,

                                             Mommy

Cameron,

 Tonight when I came home from work, I thought of all the many nights we spent rocking and singing. I played your cd tonight, and closed my eyes and I could feel you and hear you. I am so blessed to have had you in my life.  One day I will hold you in my arms again, and we will rock and sing again. Until then Uncle Kevin will sing you the songs Mommy always sang to you. Take care of each other in HEaven, and know how much you both are loved and missed.

                      I love You!!!!!!

                      Mommy
