It is with great sorrow and a broken heart that I tell you, our sweet little angel Kade, passed away on June 8th at 2:30pm. It was almost the second anniversary of the start of his treatment...that would have been the 9th. They put the green light out on monday morning, which was very distressing. For those of you that don't know, they have a green lamp at Canuck Place that they put on the reception desk to let everyone know that there is a child about to pass. It's to let everyone in the house know to be quiet and respectful to the child and family that is going through what is the worst thing you could ever have to experience.
They put the light out on monday and Kade left us on Friday. In all our time at CP, I've never seen that ugly fucking light out that long. Kade had a lot of fight in him! In the end he went peacefully and had no pain. He was surrounded by his family (Elaine and I and his brothers) and was in the embrace of our love when he took his last breath. Kade was the light of our universe and now it feels as if all light has gone out, we all feel so empty.
We are having a service for Kade on saturday June 23rd, at 1:00 pm, at First Memorial Funeral Services at 14835 Fraser Highway in Surrey. It is an open service and all are welcome. Kade touched so many lives that we felt it would be selfish and irresponsible to keep it family only...especially after all the support we were shown by everyone in our community. People we've never met opened their hearts to us and were generous beyond belief. We owe it to them (you) and to Kade, so please feel welcome.
In lieu of flowers we would ask for donations to be made to Canuck Place. If you have any questions you can contact the funeral home at 604-589-2559.
Thank you all for your support for this horrible journey we've been on. Without you we never would have been able to be there for our baby through his hard fought battle with this evil disease. If you or anyone you love is fighting cancer, you have our love, thoughts and prayers.
Kade I will love you as long as the universe exists. You have been my greatest pleasure! Your life was very short and you suffered greatly through a lot of bullshit pain and treatment. You were full of love and sweetness, and you were so brave and strong. You taught me more than I could have imagined, and you loved us more than we could've imagined. I miss you so much and I hate this hole that you left behind that I know will never heal. You will always be my little Bumbley Bear, and my greatest reward will always be that you picked me to be your father and the love we shared. Rest in peace and no longer in pain my sweet baby boy!
Kade Christian McBurney
