Dedicated to the memory of Cameron Parker-Ross

On the 3rd of August 2019, we lost our beloved Cameron after a series of epileptic convulsions. Cameron was first diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 19 and as part of further medical investigations, it was revealed that Cameron also had a large cyst on his brain. At age of 21, Cameron had a right sided stroke in the occipital part of his brain. Cameron passed away a day after his 24th birthday. He was a bright light in our family.  He was a happy-go-lucky kind of guy and despite the many struggles in his life, he always managed to get through them with sheer determination.  Cameron was an avid fan of rock music, especially those of the "27 Club" who sadly passed when they were 27 years old, like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain.  His favorite musician was probably The Weeknd.  He was in many ways just a young man, finding his way through the world and struggling at times with the limitations set by his epilepsy and other health conditions. One of the biggest difficulties of living with his condition was the stigma often attached to epilepsy.  Through this fund, we want to raise awareness of this condition and help others, especially children and young adults who are living with this condition and trying to find their footing in the world.

Thoughts

I’m trying to think of the time I last saw you Did we have a good natter and a drink that night Every day that goes by, I think more and more of you What were your last words, I can’t recite Next I see you in the chapel of rest Where I’m holding on, fighting back the tears Trying to be strong but feeling depressed Broken inside because we lost the years But you’re gone now and that’s the end of it all No more calls in the day to talk about The Weeknd You’ve got no more to say since you had that fall I wish I could hear you once more young friend So many years you wanted to fit in So much agony and tears and all for what To feel good that you’re one with your kin But my dear boy, you were a diamond uncut I often think now about the 27 club How you joked about Jimi, Joplin and Cobain I wanted to come by and see you at the pub And talk about those guys again and again But life gives and takes from day to day And we all have to pick ourselves off the floor To think about laughing and learning to play Not to forget but to keep asking for more So let me tell you something my young friend You are my hero, my idol, my superman I am proud to have known you till the end My dearest, sweetest, gentlest young man -- Nima Razavi

My son my beautiful son, I love you so much and I miss you badly. I said goodbye to you yesterday in chapel of rest and although it was the hardest thing to do, I am relieved I had the strength to do it. I kissed you on your forehead. Goodbye for now until we meet again xxx

Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you plann'd: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad. -- Christina Rossetti
