Cameron was the quarterback of the local high school team. His mother a school teacher. His first job was with me. You would never know he was a "jock"; he got along well with everyone and was quiet & shy; he worked hard, too, which is very rare for teens anymore IMO. He had a heart of gold. He graduated high school 2 years ago with a football scholarship to NC state. That year during the Christmas season, he complained of really bad headaches. After a doctor's visit, we learned he had a brain tumor, had emergency surgery, put on a ventilator and couldn't talk. He grew stronger and stronger as the months passed. I didn't think he'd ever make it to college, let alone work. Well, although not able to play football anymore, he did return to school. And work! I couldn't believe it--he worked all summer long for me and said that he wanted to stay on temporary part time so that he could come back and work on his breaks and during the holidays. He called me last week with his school schedule and said he wanted to work his fall break in October.
Today, a girl from work called me and said he had died in his sleep. I just can't believe it. And as I am writing this, my BF said I shouldn't post this because "what do you say to that?" "Maybe its mostly women and they'll know what to say." I swear he upsets me sometimes--but I am posting b/c I can get a release by writing about it and I do feel like y'all care. (So he can kiss my butt, just in case he's still reading over my shoulder
