About Cameron
Posted on 17. Mar, 2008 by Laura-Jane - Whimfield in Personal
In the words of Laura-Jane:
Cameron’s body and soul is built around one founding principle: he has a quest for learning that is unrivaled in anyone that I know.
The brevity of life–the mere 80-year lifespan–is frustrating to him. He wants to learn Spanish and plant an orchard and sew a very nice pair of pants and read everything written by Karl Marx and learn how to play the banjo and spend time with his family and write amazing computer programs. He wants to plant, and grow, and cook and build–to listen and counsel and advise.
In all honesty, he’d like to live forever and try everything.
When we ski, he waits for me at the bottom of every turn. When I need a sympathetic listener, he listens. When I need a prod in the right direction, much to my chagrin, he prods. When we walk, he lets me set the pace. When I write a story, he tells me that it’s the best he’s read yet.
Cameron has a heart of pure goodness but will never let up when he believes that he is on the right side of an issue. He can be shockingly honest–to me and to his bosses alike. He has a memory for facts and can tell you the history of anything. He firmly believes in the good of the collective and in the potential for good in this world. He will never put someone down to make himself look better. He will never take credit for another’s efforts. He is a patient teacher.
He could, however, really use some tennis lessons. And his tetris skills leave much to be desired. Other than that, he’s perfect!

If I might add, he is intelligent and handsome. You are absolutely right, if he believes that he is on the right side of an issue, well good luck! Also, he never brags, but his Mom makes up for it!! From Cam’s Mom

I love him too – you are happy and that says a LOT!
I love my guy too! He was brought up on a farm and has lots of common sense and can figure out tool things. He loves tools, like I love books.

Hi Laura and Cameron
I have just been reading your adventures here in Sydney Australia. I found it rivetting and congratulations Laura on taking all that time to do it all, it was well worth it. Your travels in the car to a new life in Eastern Canada and the house and land you bought are an absolute dream, looks like an idealic lifestyle– how I envy you. But the thing that really shines through is your love for each other, never take it for granted [be nice if I had taken my own advice, I wouldn,t be 51 and on my own Ce Le Vie] Anyway, you two look after each other and every day be glad of that decision you made a couple of years ago. I cannot even comprehend how cold a Canadian winter must be. All the best from Australia. Michael

Hugs and thanks for taking the time to say hello! Canadian winters aren’t that bad. You should try one some time!!!!
Big dreams and ideas have to start somewhere, some time small, don’t they?
