Beautifully put. Funny thing talking about pall-bearers… of course, some of us will need more of them than others!!
I think I get what you’re talking about, without having experienced it. I think I thought about similar things when my kids were 1st born, knowning that the death of their father (untimely as it may have been) would now have a much different context than the death of a husband and previously, just the death of a son. Now that I’m all 3, (son, husband, father) it seems to matter more when death happens, but also how I handle it if I get to hear ‘the knock’ as opposed to the surprise visit on a freeway somewhere.
I’m impressed that you can be both realistic and optimistic together.
It’s nice. Unusual.. I like it…

Cam & Libby just to let you know we are always thinking of you and hoping everything works out well. We want to see you very healthy and happy when we go back in Feb.

We have only just heard about your illness and wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you. I have now watched some of your videos and read some of the articles and am not in the least bit surprised at the level of honesty, humour, humility and intelligence displayed. After all, these are all characteristics that you used when teaching David as part of your Inspire Education classes last year.
We are so glad that you have such a strong support network and I am sure that this site is helping those people as much as it is helping you. It may well help others who are struggling through illnesses as well, well done for in your openness, you continue to help others.
Warmest wishes from the Passmore Family

Hi Cam, think it is amazing the way you are sharing so much of your experiences through this medium. I have always believed that death is as natural as birth, and should be celebrated with the same rigir, however facing mortatlity cannot be easy and I take my hat off to your efforts to come to grips with all of this. Please know that Liza and I are thinking of you and Libby and want to accompany you both through this journey. I hope that this coming week brings plenty of good news, thought i would add a song for ya, if you haven´t heard of Jose Gonzalez, i think he will be your style. Take care. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4_4abCWw-w

As internet savvy as I am, my first message was deleted (I think). So I’ll make this one short incase my laptop really hates me!! News travels fast and of course camp’s favorite aussie gets everyone reading blogs! Lots of love and prayers are coming your way so you better get ready, y’all! We are thinking in about you in the Carolina’s! You are an inspiration to us all.

Hi Cam-I was shocked and saddened to get the email from Kelley telling me about the cancer. Let’s be honest, it wasn’t news I was expecting to hear. From the first day I met you, over 12 years ago now at good ol’ Camp Greenville, you brought a smile to my face. Somehow in the darkness of your situation, you have managed to show honesty, candor, insight and inspiration, and even made me crack a smile in watching your videos (thru tears, of course!). My heart and prayers go out to you, your family, and friends. Thank goodness for that support group. I’ll be thinking of you…

Dear Cam and Liz-Just wanted to say we are still praying for you and thank you for your regular updates. I guess there’s nothing we can say other than that we love you both and know that our God loves you most! We hope very much to be able to see you at the end of March when we’re in Perth for a week, but hope to speak to you before then.Love to you from a cold but bright and sunny Mottingham!

We have been and will continue to pray for you, that each day you will find strength and even some excitment as you enjoy what the Lord has planned for you. Every day is special in some way,even if we happen to feel rotten.

1 Corinthians 15
50I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”[g]
55″Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”[h] 56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Based on the number of commenters and supporters, the pall bearing duties may need to be a tag team event!
