I cleaned out the car today. Trunk and everything. Haven t been in there since we've been in the hospital. I knew some hard things would be in there...your mobile from the hospital, the sheets and pillow that some "heart friends" of ours gave us while we were in the hospital. But I wasn't prepared for everything I found. An information sheet on common ICU procedures, a worksheet on Evan's pain and how they would treat it, an email from our friends Mark, Sarah & Micah from Jan 16 saying they were praying and praying and praying because Evan was having open-heart surgery that day, some "Get Well" cards that fell out of the diaper bag, the red blanket that Evan was wrapped in on Christmas, a syringe that was left in the back seat after he got a dose of his meds, the back seat mirror still in place, a kids book, his Social Security denial letter, his Cleft Palate appointment results, and the thing that set me off for good...his changing pad and a little outfit he pooped on. That sounds silly, that something like that could set me off, but it did. You wanna know why? Because Thanksgiving weekend we were at my dad and Jody's house for Elaine's funeral, and that's when Evan pooped on the outfit. I changed him into new clothes, Jody gave me a bag to put the poopy clothes and changing pad in, and instead of putting it in the diaper bag I threw it in the trunk. We could not find that changing pad to save our lives when we got home, and ended up buying a new one late November. I think I remember one time seeing it in the trunk in early January while we were in the hospital and getting all excited because we had found it. And I never thought about it again. And today I decided to clean out my car since it's been 2 years or so, and there it was. The poopy outfit and the changing pad. I cry and cry and cry, but it doesn't bring my baby back. I would do anything to sit behind the steering wheel and see the top of his car seat. I would give anything to not have to live the rest of my life without him. Do you know how long that could be? I hate thinking about 50 years of life with no Evan. It's not fair. And nobody gets it. No one. In everyone else's minds, Evan is happy in heaven and free of pain. They can accept that he is no longer on earth. I can't. I try. I really do. At this point bringing him back would only mean he would have to die again, and I wouldn't want to put him through that. Especially when he is in heaven...there is no better place. But the hole in my heart is so big, and I hate thinking about living life without him. I know he's happier, but I miss seeing his smile. I miss holding him, comforting him, loving him. I miss changing his diapers, giving him a bath, even giving him his meds. I miss feeding him even though it was a challenge every time. I miss dancing with him to my cd collection. I miss watching him smile at his doctors at his appointments. I miss playing "touchdown" with him. I miss singing to him in my horrible singing voice, because he loved it. I miss holding his binky out in front of him and watching him reach for it. I miss playing the "you spit it out, Mommy puts it back in" game. I miss watching you kick your legs under the mobile and looking for Mr. Elephant. I miss you in your bassinet next to my bed where I would put my hand on your tummy so I could feel you breathe, and when I knew you were breathing I would hold your little hand. I miss stroking the top of your forehead and your cheeks in the hospital when I couldn't hold you. I miss playing on the tummy time mat with you, watching you knock down the horse, turn your head and knock down the cow. I miss listening to Daddy sing "Teamwork" to you. I miss putting you in your car seat and taking you in the bathroom with me when I took a shower. I miss peeking out of the shower and seeing you look up at the bathroom light. I miss you falling asleep in my arms. I miss knowing that I could always make you feel better. I miss blowing kisses to you and watching you smile. I miss signing I love you over and over again. And I miss showing you off to other people...not something I was allowed to do very much. I miss everything. I even miss the days in the hospital because at least you were here. And most of the time you were feeling ok. It just seems so unfair. I would have done anything to switch places with you, so you could experience more life on earth. People have told me you are perfect now, your heart is fixed, you have no more DiGeorge Syndrome, no more reflux, no more cleft palate, no more developmental delays. But to me you have always been perfect, from the moment you were conceived. And I miss you.

Hi my little French Fry, I miss you so much. You are the culmination of everything that was ever right in my life. I feel so empty without you...I wish I could just touch your face again. So many things would still feel right about this world if only you were here. I wish I could cry more often. I wish I wasn't distracted by so many things. I wish I could love your mom the way she deserves to be loved. I fail her so many times buddy. I makes me so sad to see the way she longs for you. I hate this pain.

Amy and G.R....I just wanted to let you know that you are always in our thoughts and prayers and we think of you quite often..it took a long time to know what to say and I still don't..there is no way to know how you feel or what you deal with every day..we have shed alot of tears thinking of you guys and precious Evan..we know the hard times we have gone through with Cole and how we felt each time they said he'd never get to go home..and of course they were wrong thankfully..the loss of a child is impossible to get over and the way you have both handled yourselves is remarkable..I never could have been as strong and brave as you two even though my faith in God is strong and I know he holds you close to him everyday helping you deal with strength and a big shoulder to lean on..I do believe he is in a better place and out of pain and misery with so many wires attached to him and having to deal with so much but that doesn't ease the ache..I know that first hand losing my younger brother to a sudden horrible accident...if you ever want to talk email me..I am always around and would like to know how you guys are doing..take care..you'll never know how fortunate we were to know you in our time at CHP and how much we have learned from all of you and how much we missed you..God bless you and your wonderful family..let everyone know they are in our thoughts

Dear Amy & Greg, I keep thinking that if only I had just the right words, maybe I could take away some of your pain. But I know that this is impossible. Words seem hollow, and are surely no match for the love that exists among the three of you. That love is an experience beyond the limit of words. Greg Sr. wrote about this extraordinary love, and he was right that there aren't many parents who fall into this category.The love shared in your family is higher. Amy & Greg, you have grown to set an example for me, at this stage in my life. You have become examples of God's love. Thank you for sharing your courageous faith with me, as well as courageous baby Evan. Whenever I think of him, I see his smile. Love - Grandma Marty.

There is no doubt in my mind everytime i look at you, that God had you in His hands. I still shed a tear for you. I rejoice that you feel no more pain, but I am saddened by our loss eventough your journey here on earth had been fulfilled. I will always hold you close to my heart, a little boy i never got to hold or touch.

Dear Evan....I visit your website on a daily basis filling up with tears at your beautiful, PERFECT picture sleeping so peaceful. I have tried many times to say thank you for what you have given back to me, but I have come to realize that there are no words that could even come close. How do I come to miss you when I have never met you? Your mommy quoted it perfectly, "The most beautiful things cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart." That, I will carry with me always. If I would ever cross paths with your parents or family, it would be the greatest honor. Thank You Dearest Evan.

Evan--- From the moment Grandma laid eyes on you she has called you her Precious Little Angel. That description stuck and every time she was with you or we were with you together she would call you that even to the last day that we saw your earthly body at the funeral home. How else could Grandma and Grandpa describe such a perfect Grandson, our very first. You hold a very special place in our hearts that will be there forever. I (Grandpa) have been thinking lately of another word that so describes you. As young boys and girls we all had people that we looked up to or wanted to imitate. I remember wanting to meet Superman and the Lone Ranger. I know that your mommy and daddy had heroes when they were young. As we grow older we learn that those fictional heroes don’t really exist. We then learn of historical heroes, sports legends, and famous people. But when we get old like me and your grandma those people, although maybe important to history, are not what I consider my personal hero. Two of several definitions of the word HERO in the Webster’s Third New International Dictionary are 1. “legendary figure endowed with great strength, courage or ability.” 2. “a man (boy) admired for his achievements and noble qualities and considered a model or ideal” Evan William Campbell, you are Grandpa’s hero. Through your strength, courage and will, coupled with the miracle of Cathy and modern technology you have brought people together through Christ from all over the world. Your life has been prayed for from Africa to California and from Florida to Maine and a thousand places in between. You have touched unbelievers and believers alike and brought them all to a closer relationship with God. You were entrusted by God to two of the most wonderful parents that any child could have. I believe that you were put here with our family for a reason and that you have fulfilled your mission and done your Father’s work here on earth better than any of us could ever hope to do. Our family, our church and our world are better because of your time with us. I am inspired by your life. You are my hero. All of this rambling doesn’t mean that we don’t miss you terribly. Grandma misses her Thursday visits and play dates with you. And I miss our Sunday afternoon naps together on the couch. We will forever miss your smile, your engaging personality, your smell and your touch. We love you far more than words can describe. But then again, you already know that. GR and Amy— To tell you that you are good parents seems so inadequate. God chose you to be Evan’s parents, and for good reason. We always had in our minds that the two of you would make good parents. But it wasn’t until after you became parents that we realized how great you are at it. I don’t say all of this because of the long hours and days and weeks that you had to sit at Evan’s side in the hospital or the around the clock feedings or any of the hundreds of other “clinical things” you had to do. Any of us would do the same for our child who needed that type of care. What I mean is the personal interaction that you both had with Evan in the midst of such turmoil. The loving touch, the singing of songs, the way you looked at him, the way you prayed with him, the way you cared for him, the tender gaze into his eyes, the way you loved him all are the qualities that make you awesome parents. God made the right choice is selecting you two for such a special child and such a special ministry. We love you so very much.

My Dear Son: How can I even come close to expressing my love for you in just a few words? There is NOTHING I can say that will adequately describe how I feel. I sit here and cry because the emotion is too strong. You spent just 7 months on this earth...a very short time to many of us who remain, but a lifetime nonetheless. God was so gracious to give us the wonderful times that we spent together. I think about everything you endured in those 7 months, and I am in awe. We go through our lives seeking Christ, but we fall short of Him so many times. But you, Evan, my Young Warrior, have not fallen short. Your life was about bringing so many to the Lord. Because of your suffering, hundreds, maybe even thousands, have sought to know Him better. It may have started as simply lifting you up in prayer, but as more and more people came together in your journey, they also came together as God's people. And when your job was finished, He called you home to a place where there are no more tubes, wires, or medications. No more surgeries, no more Digeorge syndrome, and best of all, no more suffering. Evan, in 7 months you lived the true Christian life so many of us long for. But where we have fear, you had no fear. It's as if you knew what you were doing all along. To your mommy and daddy and to so many others, you are PERFECT. That's the only word that makes sense to me, because it is you and it is everything I have ever felt about you. Just as the Father told His only Son, I tell you now and always...You are my beloved son, in you I am well-pleased. I miss you terribly, I love you beyond measure, and I will always have hope to someday join you with our Lord in heaven. They didn't have you where I come from Never knew the best was yet to come Life began when I saw your face And I hear your laugh like a serenade How long do you want to be loved? Is forever enough? Is forever enough? How long do you want to be loved? Is forever enough cause I'm never never giving you up Love you always, Daddy

Daddy please don't look so sad, Momma please don't cry, Cause I am in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies. Please try not to question God, Don't think He is unkind. Don't think He sent me to you, And then He changed His mind. You see, I am a Special Child, And I am needed up above, I'm the special gift you gave Him, The product of your love. I'll always be there with you, And watch the sky at night Find the brightest star that's gleaming, That's my halo's brilliant light You'll see me in the morning frost, That mists your windowpane. That's me, in the summer showers, I'll be dancing in the rain. When you feel a gentle breeze, From a gentle wind that blows, That's me, I'll be there, Planting a kiss on your nose. When you see a child playing, And your heart feels a little tug, That's me, I'll be there, giving your heart a hug. So, daddy, please don't look so sad, Mommy don't you cry. I'm in the arms of Jesus, and He sings me lullabies. G.R. and Amy God Bless You..... Shane and Ashley

Dear Evan, Amy & Greg, Amy, I just read your e-mail message from Wed. and started crying here at work. What a deeply personal & moving letter. Though I never met Evan personally, my life is emptier because of it. However, all the time your mother was visiting you, she would call everyday to give me the daily "Evan update". Thus I do feel a closeness, though I was a distance away. I'm sure Evan is looking down on all of us - and especially you Amy & Greg - and is comforted by the love he received and will always receive for all time. I humbly offer any support of any kind to the both of you. Remember my house is always open. Love Don

Mommy and daddy, I wish I could stay. Just like I heard you pray. But, all the little angels did cry when they told little me goodbye. God didn't take me cause He's mad. He didn't send me to make you sad. But to give us both a chance to be a love so precious...don't you see? Up here no trouble do I see and the pretty angels sing to me. The streets of gold is where I play you'll come here too, someday. Until the day you join me here, I'll love you mommy and daddy, dear. Each breeze you feel and see, brings love and kisses from me.

Dearest Evan, Amy, and Greg....... I am so so proud of the three of you. To be a part of your family is, without question, the most wonderful blessing one could ever hope to experience in a lifetime. To be a part of you, and your lives is an honor beyond words. Your absolute love and faith in God, Jesus, and each other is a testament to the perfection that my buddy Evan gets to enjoy now, and that we will all come to know in due time. The strength I have witnessed from Evan will keep me from ever doubting, ever again, and makes anything that has or will ever happen either a true blessing, or insignificant. Your love for each other has smashed any boundaries imaginable, and you three have taught me so so much about all that is really important for now, and forever. Writing "I LOVE YOU" seems such a tiny expression compared to the "real deal". Thank you for the strength of your Faith...... and for mine.

Dear Evan, where to begin…one year ago today I found out you would be born with a severe heart defect, and look how much has happened since. Words cannot describe the unconditional love I have for you…I have never felt anything like it in my entire life. You went through so much on this earth, more than anyone could imagine. You took everything as it was, always coming out happy and peaceful. You are amazing. I know that you are now in God’s arms, feeling no pain or hurt, and that brings me peace. I feel you everywhere and know that you’re with us all of the time. I miss you more than words can say, but I know we will be together again when it’s time for me to go home. You are the strongest person I have ever met, and knowing that is keeping me strong right now. Please know how much mommy loves you and please come to visit me in my dreams…I will look forward to seeing you there. To all of my family and friends and all who have been inspired by Evan’s life, thank you. You will never know the gratitude we have towards all of you for your love and prayers. We keep hearing from all of you that we are so strong. Although I don’t feel strong right now, I know that it was through the power of love and prayer that we were able to get through all of Evan’s hospital stays, and that will continue to get us through this difficult time right now. It is my hope and wish that none of you forget Evan, and always remember what an angel he is. He was, is and always will be perfect.

Dear Mommy & Daddy ~ Evan felt your intense love for him during his time here. And now you will feel his intense love for YOU every day as you continue to survive. He is now an angel wrapping his love around you and giving you strength to get through the day. I am so sorry that he can't be here for you to cuddle, but he is in your heart ... and in mine ... and in so many others'. You are amazing parents and I though I can't understand what you're going through; I hope that you feel the love & prayers that everyone is sending you. This little guy has touched so many people. Try to remember how he's changed your heart. Though it's broken, he made a difference in you, I'm sure, that will never change. You were so lucky to experience the love that only parents can experience. I'm devastated that he is no longer here with us, but hope that you can find strength to find peace. He would want that. God Bless you, Mommy & Daddy Campbell. I'm thinking of you, praying for you.

It may not seem like it now, but I want to tell you, you WILL get through it. Lean on each other and support each other. Just take one day at a time... And remember, you are not alone; there are many who have been through what you are going through, and somehow, we have made it. Again, I am so sorry.

Dear GR, Amy and Families, We are so heartsick hearing about the passing of little Evan. Joe and I have not been in church for some time and this certainly speaks volumes about the reasons we need to be there. Gale has been keeping us informed through e-mails and your little angel has certainly been in our prayers. What a beautiful child. It is very obvious how God has blessed this little miracle with very wonderful, God fearing and God loving parents. I pray for peace and comfort for the two of you and all of your family. We will certainly continue to keep you all in our prayers. Evan is at peace now with our Lord, no more tears and no more pain shall this little boy ever endure. God Bless you all !

Amy and Greg, I, too, have never met you but I grew up in Tionesta, so I try to read the Derrick when I can. I feel it is important to share my story with you. I had a baby die in-utero at 26 weeks. One day, a month or so later, I received a call from a telemarketer, I was crying when I answered the phone and the lady listened to me cry and listened to my story. She, too, had lost a baby. That day she told me to maintain my strong faith and that my baby would be returned to me. She was right. I was expecting again with a due date 364 days from the due date of my first baby (April 3 then April 2). I went into labor at 26 weeks and was really worried but maintained my faith. I now have a beautiful little girl who is healthy and lively (she will be 4 in March). I believe God sent me a "new/improved" version of the baby I lost. So, please accept my advice to keep your faith strong and Evan will be returned to you. It is wonderful that his story has been captured and you have many photos remember every precious moment you had together. You are in my prayers.

I am sorry for your loss as it could only be the greatest, but as looked at pictures of Evan he IS what an angel looks like. He is very precious and you are both lucky to have had such a wonderful gift.

Amy, For some reason I decided to read The Derrick online today and I saw the beautiful picture of your son. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. May God wrap his loving arms around you and your family and help you through this very sad time. You and your family are in my prayers. (I am not sure if you remember me but we worked together at National City for a short time.)

GR,Amy and the rest of the Campbell family, We extend our deepest sympathy to you all. It is such a difficult time that no words can express how we all feel for all of you. I just spoke with Grandpa Greg last Thursday and he said that he and Nancy had been babysitting Evan so GR and Amy could go out to eat with some friends. What a wonderful experience for everyone. Be strong and have faith. Evan is in a wonderful place and not suffering anymore. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear GR and Amy, I was so sorry to hear about Baby Evan. I have been praying for him since his birth, and David and Gale Wilson kept me up to date. Indeed, he is a little warrior...but what a blessed child to have the support of such a loving family. May you have an overwhelming sense of God's presence and love for you as you grieve.

We are so incredibly sorry for your loss. Evan has touched our whole family. We have followed the his story and have prayed daily for your family. Our kitten passed away later the same day as Evan and our four year old said "now Baby Evan will have someone little like him to play with in heaven." It is incredible that Evan's influence has accomplished so much in too brief of time. He will be missed and remembered by many.

My heart goes out to you during this very difficult time. God blessed your lives with your beautiful baby boy, Evan. God had a reason for giving you Evan for such a short period of time. As little as Evan was, he taught many of us some very valuable life lessons. God has a plan for Evan to continue his lessons as a beautiful angel. I can see him now with his angel wings telling his angel brothers and sisters how great of a life he had with the most wonderful parents on Earth. He is definitely a typical bragging Steelers fan just like his Daddy. With all my love and prayers, Kristin Young and family

I remember back when my youngest brother was killed in a car accident, my mother said that it just wasn't right for a parent to have to bury their child. It is incredibly painful, but the Balm of Gilead is healing for our souls. Situations like these only cause us to be carried by our Lord when we believe that we can not go on. His grace is sufficient. May His light scatter the darkness of your hearts, and may His Peace fill the void in your hearts. Doug+

Hi GR and Amy. I am so sorry that it has taken this to get me in touch with you. My mom has been keeping me up on the progress of your beautiful little boy. I just heard the tragic news, and I can't tell you how sorry I am. I know it doesn't help right now, but when my brother was killed in September, everyone kept saying that "time heals all wounds" and that with time things get a little better. The hurt doesn't go away, but it does get a tad bit easier to deal with and talk about. I am sure you both were and will be again wonderful parents because you are wonderful people. My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you and your families. If I can help you in any way, don't hesitate to ask. Be strong and know that GOD has a plan for everyone whether we always agree with that plan or not. Take care and kling to eachother for support. LOVE, JULIE

Greg and Amy, Losing a child is an undescribable pain that I so much wish you didn't have to experience. As you walk this journey that is ahead of you, continue to remember who is holding you through it all. What I see in you two is a strong faith in the only One that can get you through this. Hold tight to that...it's the one constant thing that has helped my husband and I in our journey. "We walk by faith, not by sight" 2 Cor. You both have been in my thoughts and prayers over these months and I have so much enjoyed getting to know your son through this website. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Amy and Greg, Evan was brought into this world for a reason. I know now is not the time to understand what it was but some day , maybe soon you will know why. Everything happens for a reason, only God knows what it is. God only gives you as much as you can handle and the two of you have handled yourself beautifully throughout this time. Evan will never be forgotten by so many people who , even from a far have loved him and prayed for him every day since we learned of your wondeful little angel. May God Bless you and your family in this time of sorrow and know that you have so many people out there, even strangers that love you. Sincerely, Herb and Dale McMahan

i Feel soo bad i am truely sorry. He was to good for earth and the agelic requiem called him home. God blessed you. wounds heal memories stay cling to those momeries and embrase them, and live with them. know in confort that where Evan is he is truely happy. The land of twilight, in which we live, wasnt for him he chose light. and where he is the darkness of the world cannot touch him. know that though i am only a student if u or ur wife ever want to just talk im hear to listen.

Dear Amy and Greg, What can we say except that Evan taught us more than you can imagine. In a world full of imperfection, Evan was the highest form of perfection--someone who was blessed with God's grace and used it, however unknowingly, to inspire and strenghthen everyone around him. We pray that same grace, along with the support of your family and friends will help you through the difficult days ahead. With much love and sorrow, The Ginsburgs

Although we've never met, Evan's life was brought to my attention from your friends at St. Paul's. None of us understands this loss but we are all deeply praying for you.

Amy and Greg - I can only imagine the pain you are feeling right now. God blessed you with Evan for a reason and although he was only here with you for a short time he could not have had a more loving home. The three of you have showed more strength and courage in the past year than many people ever could. I pray that God may give you comfort in this time of mourning and that you lean on each other as well as your numerous friends and family who have been with you on Evan's journey. We love you and our hearts and prayers go out to you.

Dear Greg & Amy, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time. God sent Evan here for such a short visit. But in that short time he touched so many lives. He will now be one of God's littlest angel and will be forever taken care of. God bless you. Denise

He brought strangers from all over the country together as he bravely fought on. He taught us how important love and faith truly are. Though his time here was short, he received a lifetime's worth of love. God Bless you all.

Amy, Greg and family - Evan was such a blessing to each one of us. He strengthened me in my faith and has helped me to believe in miracles. The feats that this small child overcame in his short time here are lessons to us all. Words can not describe my grief and I offer prayers of love and support to you and your family at this time. God bless you all.
