When we first told my mom and dad that we were going to have a "twinkle twinkle" theme, they were so excited. For Christmas they arranged for many of our family and friends to write prayers and wishes for Cameron. They then adhered the messages onto wooden stars that would be used to decorate our nursery. On Christmas night, my mom gave us the box with tears in her eyes. She told us to go home and sit together and open the box. We could not believe the work my parents had gone through for us. In the box there were over fifty stars filled with love and prayers for Cameron. We sat and cried as we read each and every one.
It was hard to want to finish the room without my mom. My dad came over Saturday, and to our surprise we found so much joy in finishing Cameron's room. It was fun to know my mom was such a special part of the room. We hung her star above the crib. Her star reads, "Dearest Cameron, from the moment we saw your face you have become part of all of us. Angels watch over you until we bring you home. At Christmas time with the birth of our savior Jesus Christ we watch the distant star knowing you are far away and yet so close because of the love in our hearts for you. We will love you forever. Blessings our dear one."

Hey Aimee! This is Jill Woyak (former co-worker of Brian's). I just wanted to let you know you guys did a fantastic job on this room and I really admire your strength becoming a mother so shortly after you lost your own mother. Man, this post made me cry! The words your mother left are beautiful, and such a touching tribute to the love and endurance of your family.
What an amazing testimony of passing on the faith from generation to generation! You will have such a concrete picture of the Godly lives of your family, especially your mom, every time you walk into pick Cameron up in his room. Will be praying for you to bring him home soon!
