The day before he left, my parents, my boys, Kael, Camren, and I all went up through big cottonwood canyon to just kind of hang out. Which we did. Cam was so quiet and deep in thought. Before we left we got some pictures which are below. You'll find the second one utterly heartbreaking.
That same night at 7 he got set apart. It was the coolest blessing I've ever heard. This kid is going to do amazing things while he's gone. The coolest thing of all is how his demeanor changed after the blessing. It wasn't a spirit of sadness anymore... he was excited... had more of a "let's do this" attitude. It was awesome.
The MTC no longer makes you go into the emotional filled room where everyone builds off of everyone else emotions. We got to walk him up. We got to see him meet his "host" and we said our goodbyes (or see ya laters as I prefer to call them) before he crossed the street. He was so happy. It's a memory I'll forever hold with happiness.
another heart breaker....
I wondered what he was thinking....
We plan to spoil him greatly while he is still in the country :) I'm lucky to have such great brother's. They do the best they can at all they do and I'm so thankful my boys have Cam and Kael and Trace to look up to.
This Kenny Rogers song was always one that made me think of Cammy. I mean from when he was super little wearing Trace's baseball clothes. He always kept trying and never gave up and he always saw the good out of everything. Pus, he has a sense of humor about it all too. Cam is the greatest... and he'll carry that on into his Mission. He's a fighter and always has been. I can't wait to hear all that he gets to see and experience out there. I miss him already but I know that he's having a blast wherever he is.
