Take
heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto
you, That
in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which
is in heaven. - Matthew 18:10

We got to
meet and talk to Cameron, his mommy, Emily and his Memaw on last
Fryday and Sunday. It was really nice and I had fun. More on that
later. For now, please pray everything goes gud in his transperson.
Sumthin' happened to his first and sekund donors, so he got his
transperson pushed to July 9, 2001. Cents his keymo will start on
July 2, 2001, please pray the keymos do gud and he duzn't get too
sick from them. Then pray for a completely successful transplant.
SATURDAY,
JULY 21, 2001 - Strate from Eyore's, errr...Emily's, mouth.
We
finally received word today the the requested and scheduled dates
for chemo and transplant for Cameron (7/26/01 & 8/2/01) have been
confirmed. Let's all pray that it stays that way, as we are all
ready to get this show on the road! As they put it to me on the
phone, "Everything at this point is a "GO" (Yea!!). We've waited
for this a REALLY long time now, and Lord knows we need some positive
progression. It looks like we are finally going to get started,
which is good, because we've just about bought Ft. Worth all out
of Eeyore stuff.
Guess
this means gud stuff is happenin' for my friend Cameron. Please
pray everythin' goes gud.

Well,
it seems as if Cameron is havin' sum bad times. That GVHD stuff
is livin' with him now and about 105 feevers found him. Poor Cameron.
The gud news is we're all gonna pray for him and God will make him
feel better. If ya click
here, you will go to Cameron's update for August. That'll give
ya the mostest resent stuff.
Below is
the entry for Cameron's web page. I don't know exactly when it was
written, but that really does not matter. I got ta meet Cameron
a cuple of times. We were goin' to Fort Worth this weekend and I
hoped to see Cameron after my appointments. He was a speshul friend
and we will always miss him. Daddy has a few things to say now:
I was driving
home today when I heard about Cameron's death. I always fear when
I check up on someone I am following that they will have died. In
this case, my fears came true. I only got to meet Cameron a few
times over the course of one weekend. I took some video of him playing
in the tent at the Ronald McDonald House. I will forever treasure
the memories of this special little boy who now watche over all
of us. Cameron will be sorely missed. Other than that, I think Emily's
note below says it all.
It
is with great sorrow (and joy!) to say that our baby Cameron went
to heaven to be with Jesus. The angels took him home on Saturday,
August 18, 2001, (Transplant Day +16) at 4:43 am. I held him in
my arms as he died, and I will forever find comfort in knowing that
the last face he saw on this earth was his Mommy's (he was not alone!).
Our struggle is still far from over, as we now have to make the
trip back home to Alabama to lay our son to rest, but I know God
will give us the strength we need. I want to thank each one of you
who has laughed with us, cried with us, prayed with us and lifted
us up as we made this journey with Cameron. He was a special soul
who touched many lives, and I know each person he met will never
be the same again. He was a great blessing and the light of our
lives - we will love him and miss him always.
In
Christian love, Emily and Cecil Winn, sister Allyson, Mamaw Judy,
Granddaddy Ted and all the rest of Cameron's family...
