Ty Campbell was a adorable little kid who lived in Pawling, NY. Sadly, he was, because cancer took him earlier today. Ever the dutiful reporter, I watched as the first report hit online. I waited for multiple sources.
The Journal News has confirmed it. He was five.
His mother kept a blog of the whole story - a document to her son's life. It is beyond sad.
It brought her and her family attention from many corners of the globe. Hopefully that provided some kind of a smile. A way to get through the day.
I only hope for their continued strength now that Ty has gone.
I'm a dad. That makes this story hit a little closer for me. But no matter what - father or simply a human being - this story is beyond sad.
Five. He was five years old.
No matter how you look at it - it just isn't fair.
I'm going to have dinner with my son now, and hug him a little tighter tonight.

Rob,
Ty's story hit me a bit harder, because my son is only four and there's a history of cancer in my family.
Thanks for sharing.
