Inspired by Cameron Haskell, this tender lullaby portrays a sincere and subtle sense of adventure that every little boy dreams about.
lyrics
Bob and Jenn from Ontario, Canada, were excited to be pregnant after 17 months of trying and could not wait to tell Jaimes and Jaide they were going to have a new baby brother. However, they soon discovered that their baby had multicystic dysplastic kidneys, posterior urethral valves (PUV), and large, distended bladder muscles, which all led to no amniotic fluid.
On Sunday, September 28, 2008 at 7:08 p.m., after 78 hours of labor, Jenn gave birth to a baby boy, Cameron.
“When he first came out,” Jenn recalled, “I felt immediate relief from the pain. But then a new pain began. I asked the doctor, ‘Is he alive?’ because we didn’t know if he would survive labor...He was! My baby was born alive. I held him, wrapped him in the blanket that I brought...I would smell that gown and cap in the weeks after I had him, so I could know that it was real. He was here. He was with me.”
At 9:15 p.m., little Cameron left this world, far too quickly.
