My precious Cameron passed away peacefully a couple of hours ago. It's been the happiest 10 years imaginable, and now my baby walks with angels. I love you, my sweetest beautiful man. 💔🌠🕯🙏🕉
I seem to have hit the wall with grief today. Maybe it's the wind or being sick all week... but I feel cast out on the waters without my love, my protector, my best friend and favorite person. It's scary. Sorry to be a damn baby!

I asked you to answer the question.
I hold a masters degree. I'm a board-certified reading teacher; I can assure you , I know our history and "look at our country" quite closely.
Respectfully, I'd like to hear your take, more specifically, on what this song teaches...
I have home hospice set up now and Cameron will be coming home tomorrow. Hopefully, we will be at peace with what we have decided. I've learned a whole hell of a lot in the past week. The support and love of you so called strangers has been crucial to me in this time.
I live in New Mexico. We have amazing food, legal weed, mountains and canyons and art, reproductive rights, and the most amazing sky. We put green chile on our pizza.
Vance just told a fuuuuuuuucking lie as big as Texas saying Kamala hasn't done anything about climate change. He also completely misrepresented Trump's position on said topic.

I miss my baby so much. I'm relieved he's no longer suffering. I miss snuggling all night, his mellow pragmatism and being called Queenie, beautiful, babylove and sweet pea. I miss our long drives, his voice and intelligence.
"I miss you in the morning when I see the sun." 💖🌠
It's insanity that
@thedavidcrosby
was not invited to the
@MusicCares
event this year that honors
@jonimitchell
. Someone really dropped the ball because this is a glaring and egregious oversight. It better not be because of some former bandmates!
Trump verdict happening the day before I retire was so delicious. On my way to my very last day as a public school teacher and proud union rep!
Onward and upward! 🎆🇺🇲💘🧘🏼♀️🕉🤘🔥🌠✅️
One day til Jason Isbell / Amanda Shires at Red Rocks! I'm sooooo excited to make my yearly pilgrimage and only channeling happy memories of me and Cam's times there! How fast a year goes by!
My ol man is hospitalized w/ Covid Pneumonia on top of the goddamn cancer. I think I almost lost him yesterday. I had to call 911 at 3AM Thursday... he's doing waaaaay better today.
I post about other sh*t to keep myself sane.
Love you guys, my Twitter squirrels! 🌠🕉🙏🧘🏼♀️
@piper4missouri
I remember it like it was yesterday.
He also made us watch footage of the Reagan/James Brady shooting and told us we should expect an incident sometime in our careers.
He really played up the teachers-as-heroes trashcan thinking!
I'm in love with my new ring. It has Cameron's fingerprint and is filled with some of his ashes. Inside, it's simply engraved: Christie and Cameron ♥️🌠 It was worth the cost and feels perfect on.
Going to pick up multiple copies of a death certificate. Another new one for me. Still haven't written the obituary. Calling all angels. Walk me through this world. Don't leave me alone. 🙏💔🌠🕉😬🙆🏼♂️👑
I hope the high road leads you home again. I love you forever, baby. Walk with angels and wear your halo at a rakish angle with that illegal smile. 🙏🌠🎡🔥⚱️🌌🔗🕉🏡🔥
Six months ago, I lost my precious Cameron to aggressive mesothelioma of the stomach.
I miss him madly but have chosen to embrace life and move forward with joy and a happy heart.
He wanted me to be happy and took noble measures to set me on my way.
My heart is at peace.
Reminder: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars to stop them from forming. Keep up the fight in the new year.
So grateful today to see my daaaaad & stepmom and my grandma who hasn't remembered me in two years due to dementia, but today she said "Hi Christie," and told me she loved me so much! She'll be 98 in July!🙏❤️🌠 The Masters was on at the nursing home. ⛳️🏐
Pretty pretty cheery flowers from my friend Gretchen. And she sent cheesecake! I miss Cameron so goddamn much. Rachie brought me flautas, and Mary brought me shrimp&red beans and rice. I just want my baby back.
Our last rock show was Jason Isbell/400 Unit by the river near Missoula, MT, on 4th of July, coming of a few days at our favorite place, Holland Lake. Although Cameron was weak from cancer, he enjoyed this show and stood for nearly the whole thing. We missed Jimbo but it was 🔥!
Today, I'm taking my miel to a surgeon to see if there's a goddamn surgical option for this fckng cancer. Chemo is not working. He's frail and weak.
Then gonna hit Pagosa Springs for two days of mineral soaks.
Please 🙏 for my dear Cameron, pictured here in healthier days!
Held back on posting this.
A week ago, our beautiful cousin Emil drowned in a tragic accident on Lake Arrowhead in Norman, OK. He was a light in our small family, only 28. Heading to Tulsa tmrw to honor his beautiful, brief life.
I ask for prayers for the Marrs family. 🕉🙏💔
Cameron's cancer has spread and a surgical option for removal isn't possible. Best they can do is if he gains a little weight he can have a surgical heat chemo to reduce the tumors and uncomfortable fluid build up. Our time together is limited. 💔😢

My beautiful son is neurodivergent and unapologetically loves his mommy. I struggle with ADD and regulating my joyous emotions of pride and love for my family & friends.
I'll take on anyone who talks shit about

or any other child, including my own.
It blows my mind that people can still even tolerate facebook. That place is insufferable and I'm really glad I gave it up years ago. I like you guys much better. HUGS FROM NEW MEXICO! 🌠🍯👑

I am union rep in my public elementary school... two decades... our strong local and national ensure that we have safe, democratic and healthy workplaces and work conditions, which in turn serves the children we teach. Croz is way off base here.

It's been exactly three months since Cameron left this earth. To say I miss him and my heart is still shattered would be an understatement. I love you, baby. My heart will go on someday, but not today. ♥️🌻🎡
I'll be off Twitter for a spell, had my feelings hurt badly this evening.
I have a beautiful life and my soul is clean... I don't need this.
Om mani pedme hum. 🕉🧘🏼♀️
Prayers up for my dear Cameron who had to he transported to ER with difficulty breathing and really bad pain. Cancer suuuuuuucks. He's just... so... tired. I am powerless to heal this! 💔🌠🕉💫
He had an emergency blood transfusion Thursday, took me on a long drive and got us Dion's Friday, abdominal ultrasound today then took me out to lunch. Montana won this evening and Packers game is tomorrow.
One day at a time, fckng Cancer!
The reason
@MarenMorris
doesn't feel safe at a certain country awards show:
@Jason_Aldean
piling on her for no damn reason other than to elevate
@MorganWallen
& their brand of trashy racism/transphobia.
@mirandalambert
has some decisions to make about her future, too. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Randomly sharing my fave photo of Cameron & myself b/c he's so sick from chemo right now and he's lost so much weight and I'm channeling healthier times... keep us where the goddamn light is, wherever it is, y'all! IDKW this was taken, likely on one of our epic road trips!

Do me a personal favor if you have a close friend who's dying... don't wait until they "feel well enough" for a visit. Don't check w/ the caregiver night & day about how they feel, just come fckng visit. You'll not regret it later.
Love y'all.
Om 🕉 mani pedme hum.
Somebody just told me I'm ugly and old according to my profile picture... I'm outta here. Thanks, dude. I really needed that insult on the day I turn in my final retirement papers and plan my husband's fckng memorial celebration.
Cameron is heading into surgery now for a blood clot in his leg, his circulation is poor and I am praying they don't have to amputate part of his leg due to the fact that it seems dead. That's all I got. That's the update. Love you guys.
Om 🕉 mani pedme hum. Be here now.🙏🌠
Guess who's officially retired today?!?!
I'm very proud of myself. 28 years of joyful, solid teaching. Two decades as a union rep.
First grade was once a magical place. I urge my fellow educators to teach with integrity and without fear. Long may public education prevail!
Reposting me and my daaaaaaad on Easter and my yummy buffet selections! Deleted my previous post because someone said were pretentious for celebrating at Tulsa's lovely Summit Club.
My family works hard for days like this! I love my dad.

@safeeyiah
That's fine if you think we're lying to ourselves. I feel incredibly beautiful and happy in a way I wasn't able to before about a decade ago. Feel free to tell me the truth about myself! I'm more than alright with that, I've got happiness and stars by the pocketful in this life!
I'm off Twitter for a spell. The judgment, gatekeeping, faux outrage over non-issues, and people trying to outcool each other is exhausting.
Yes, we know you're hipper than us and know more about music, food culture, and politics. Chill out. 🧘🏼♀️🕉
One year ago today. Hug your babes. Cam's last concert was Isbell. I'll be going to the same venue the day after I spread his ashes at Holland Lake to see Isbell and

"We're on the good side with y'all. We don't want this war, this violence, and we're embarrassed that the POTUS is from Texas..." is what Natalie said in a smoky gig in London.
The DM's and replies I received yesterday made my soul sing. I'm a sensitive and empathetic person but I'm also a badass and wild-lipped force of nature.
It's ridiculous of me to let an arrogant and narcissistic person get to me.
I'm moving forward thanks to y'all!
Blue Cross/Blue Shield just denied coverage of my partner's protein shakes that his CANCER DOCTOR prescribed.
This is just EVIL.
We have the fckng money, but that's not the point!
Some fat fck CEO is making millions denying people coverage.
@zachlanebryan
What a weird thing to say. What song was she referring to?
On an unrelated note, the homies who came to fix my auto glass were blasting you outta the glass truck so I gave them a huuuuuuuge tip!
I then bragged that I'm from Tulsa so therefore you're my brethren Oklahomie.
