To my handsome Adam, to his loving mother, father, grandparents, brothers, sister, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends - may we find comfort in knowing that Adam is at peace and may we all look forward to seeing him again.

Last June, Adam and I held each other crying. We felt our world change as the doctors explained that his brain tumor was back. What shock. But we were ready to fight - and live the life we had left to live together. I fought for the doctors to give him the best care, I held his hand during his treatments, and I lay by his side when he was tired of fighting this disease.

But cancer didn't consume our love, cancer didn't consume our life, cancer didn't consume Adam. Adam still worked. Adam still went to the gym. Adam still checked the surf report every morning. Adam still washed his car every weekend. Adam still called his friends to check on them. Adam still called his family to make sure they knew he cared. And more than anything... Adam loved.

Adam wrote me a card a little over a month ago -
"Camaya, if I could have Gods grace, would I be able to write a card that could resemble my love for you? For every day I awaken, you bring me an ensemble of warmth and happiness to my life. My love for you provides the hope for a brighter day. To feel so special to have you as mine. The warmth, the compassion, the yearning to be one, is only a glimpse of what I feel for you. I love you so much. Love, your Adam."

Adam is my everything - he is the shoulder I fall asleep on, he is the arms I wake up in, he is the lips I kiss every day, he is the hug that warms me, and the voice that puts me at ease.

We shared a happiness, an excitement for a life together, an understanding, a love that I never even imagined existed. He is my rock, my best friend, my love, my future, my peace and serenity.

In his journal he writes:
"When I rest, I wander to a place with Camaya. A place where little is much and peace is in abundance."

I know that you are now at peace Adam, so as your ride those waves in heaven... please remember to feel free and lead me to peace.

Though I can't describe the emptiness, shock, and sadness I am left with, I want to express how lucky, blessed, and thankful I am to have been truly loved by such a wonderful man - a superman - a gentle man.

We laughed. We smiled. We lived. We loved.
I will cherish our days together for as long as I live.

Happy Anniversary Adam. I love you!

We never know...

Adam,
Today is not how we had imagined, not how we had hoped for... but today, the day that we would have celebrated your 30th Birthday, is a day that I remember the full years you lived. People often say, "he lived life to the fullest"... but never has it been so true. You somehow managed to fit 5 years of life, love, laughs, adventure, and fun into every year you lived. We are inspired by the way you touched each and every person you met... leaving a memory of a person who truly cared for everyone and put them before yourself. I'll never forget the sweet and unexpected things you said, the surprises, and most of all... the laid back and relaxing evenings at home... the moments that were simple, quiet, and special. Because you were such a wonderful man, you are FOREVER and everyday missed by me, your loving family and amazing friends... we hope to be with you again one day. Love you and finding solace in the memory of our times together (swimming in the ocean at 3am), your "angel", Camaya

Forever in our hearts.

My handsome,

I just can't believe it has been a year... sometimes it feels like just yesterday we were relaxing in the pool or enjoying dinner by the water together - you always brought such happiness, such peace. It was so easy to be with you, I was so blessed to have been loved by such an amazing man. All of us miss your smile, laugh, love for life, and amazing warmth! It has been such a hard year, for all of us. I hope that we find strength in the next year to live life like you did! Love you forever Adam, I think of you each and every single day.

Love forever, your angel -

Miss you buddy

Can't believe I'm just finding out now about Adam... Haven't seen him for about 12 years, but he is defintely one of those people that you never forget...I want to say sorry to his family for such a tragedy. While Adam and I lost touch many years ago, I still remember having fun with Jake, Noah, Adam and the whole gang.

Everyday

I think of you everyday and can't believe what was taken from us :( I just hold onto the memories that we have to make it through the day. It doesn't feel like it has almost been a year... it doesn't seem that long, and in a way, seems so much longer! Just wish I would wake up and have this all not have happened. Loving you, missing you, wanting you back everyday my handsome.

MY DEAR LOVING SON

Ad, I drive in my car all alone and I hear a song play that reminds me of our life back in Fla. with you being a cute little boy running around at the beach. I always had to keep a pail of fresh water and a dry clean towel with me so I could wipe your face off everytime a wave knocked you down, oh yes the pail for you to wash the sand off your hands because you disliked being dirty so very much!! Who would have thought then that your favorite pass time would have been surfing and not just in Florida but traveling to the best surfing spots in the world. I have to stop the car to wipe the tears streaming down my face, so I look up at the sky for a cloud in the shape of a wave, if I see one I know your with me. Thank you for such wonderful memories! You were the greatest son and I love you so very much!! I miss you Ad!!
Love,
Mommy

My Handsome,
You are in my heart and thoughts everyday... I look at our pictures and remember your laugh in order to make it through each day. I would give anything for another kiss, another moment of laughter, or just relaxing in your arms. You had so much life in you and we made a wonderful life together, I look forward to seeing you again. Loving you, missing you, forever!

Love your angel,
Camaya
