KYLE SAMPSON - 'EVER BRAVE'

Forever in the Arms of Jesus

June 10/91 - November 24/04

**********



"With Hope" by Steven Curtis Chapman was sung at Kyle's funeral...this abridged portion has been etched on his memorial...

Never have I known anything so hard to understand,
Never have I questioned more the wisdom of God's plan,
But through the cloud of tears, I hear the Father smile and say well done,
And I remember you, where you wanted most to be, seeing all your dreams come true, cause now you're home and now you're free.
And we can cry with hope, we can say goodbye with hope,
Cause we know our goodbyes are not the end,
We can breathe with hope, cause we believe with hope, there's a place where we'll see your face again.

I know I will see Kyle's beautiful face again one day, that is what is keeping me going each day.

I found this poem on another site, it says it all.

THE CORD

We are connected, my child and I
by an invisible cord not seen by the eye
It's not like the cord that joins us til birth
this cord can't be seen by an eye on earth

This cord does its work right from the start
it binds us together attached to the heart
I know that it's there though no one can see
the invisible cord from my child to me

The strength of this cord is hard to describe
it can't be destroyed, it can't be denied
It's stronger than any cord man could create
it withstands any test, can hold any weight

And though Kyle’s gone, though he’s not here with me
the cord is still there, but no one can see
It pulls on my heart: I am bruised, I am sore
but this cord is my lifeline, as never before

I am thankful that God connects us this way
A mother and child, death can't take that away.

Kyle's Story

Kyle suffered with what we thought was tendonitis in his right shoulder the summer of 2003. After months of doctor appointments he was diagnosed in January 2004 with stage IV Undifferentiated Sarcoma - a very rare form of sarcoma. Our lives changed forever that day.

He was immediately sent to our local children’s hospital, the IWK Health Center where he received the BEST care available. Fortuantely we were also able to receive much of Kyle's treatment and care from our home hospital as well as through Extra Mural Health Care. The ability to be treated close to home was such a blessing.

Kyle’s cancer was unresponsive to any of the treatments that were given and extremely aggressive. After undergoing many rounds of very intensive chemo and radiation with no positive results, I choose to bring him home on an oral chemo (VP-16) and enjoy EVERY moment, living each day making memories.

After many long hard months of fighting, my brave, sweet, precious boy was tired and his body could not fight anymore. Kyle passed away at home peacefully and surrounded by more love than imaginable on the afternoon of November 24, 2004. He was almost 13 ½ yrs old.

He is now in the arms of Jesus...whole again and cancer free.

I will be forever grateful for our care team...without their guidance, wisdom and sincere care for Kyle's well-being, he would have not been at home when he passed away. He was provided the best home care and support possible. That will forever be a blessing and such a gift.
