My Son Silas River

My beautiful son Silas passed on from cancer on May 27th, 2008, he was only 29.  May 27 is a day I will never forget, watching my lovely and funny guy take his last breath and move on from his life here.  He died way too soon; he was looking forward to so much in life.  Cancer took my son quickly; less than 8 months after his diagnosis.  It was in his spine, and in his bones, and the pain was unbearable.  Still, Silas kept his humor and determination.  I have put together a short video on my son with footage he began to take as soon as he was diagnosed, as well as footage of others who love him so.  I have also started a fund for young adults with cancer; Sy's Fund.  I have included that link as well

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
