We carry on and we stay "extra strong" using Cameron's life and spirit as inspiration. It is never easy but when the going gets tough we have a fine example to follow.
We plan more and we do more. Some of the things we have planned are to distribute more movie cards, sponsor a monthly movie night, and hopefully establish a scholarship through Fredericton High School to encourage at risk students to push through and succeed. Cameron became an excellent student while attending post secondary school and this should be remembered and held up as an example and an inspiration to others.
We remember more and share more - memories, stories and pictures. And thanks to John's tireless efforts to retrieve, assemble and collaborate on some music tracks that Cameron created there will always be lots of music to enjoy.
We celebrate more - weddings, birthdays and holidays. All those events that mark our days and make up the story of our lives, be they short or long. And when you come right down to it, they are all either too short or too long.
Cam faced his trials and showed us the way with his unwavering sense of hope, patience, bravery and humour. We have worked hard to live up to that standard and we will continue to do so. The bar has been set pretty high but I think we are on the right track.
So we never lose hope but now hope has been reinforced by a sense of purpose. And that purpose is to continue to promote Cameron's interests and talents and share them with others by offering encouragement, respite and yes, even entertainment.
So we carry on, we plan, we remember and we celebrate. This is what we do...
