To Holly,Jeff and family this poem for your family.It's called on Heavens Train. One morning I saw Heavens Train you see it was going to pick up our loved one little Caleb today.The Heavenly Angel called him to the train telling Caleb that know he is without suffering and pain. Although those you left behind now in mourning and pain they will one day be ok, because they know joy comes in the morning. God promise of a rainbow after the rain to us through our heartache and pain. Rejoice for there's no suffering and pain no more and i'm glad you made it on Heaven's Train.all you had to offer on Earth you now gained in Heaven once you boarded Heaven's Train. God Bless you Caleb Miskell. For I know you will be a blessing in Heaven as you were on Earth. I pray blessing of love, strength and peace upon your family. When you see the rays coming out of the clouds you know he's coming by to say i love you family and hi. That's God way of letting us know our family members are alright by bringing the darkness in our pain to the light and in the stars of Heaven at night.

I am sorry that I never got the chance to meet your little angel. I know this isn't much but this poem now belongs to you, Jeff and Holly.

To Cabel heaven's new angel
Once I held you in my arms and kissed you all the time. Now, my arms are empty and I don't know how to say goodbye. Your beautiful smile will always be forever in my heart. Just like the love that came right from the very start. Now, go my angel take god's hand and never be afraid. When the day comes and I meet you through those heavenly gates above. I will kiss you once more and shower you with all the love in my heart. Then never again will we ever be apart.

Dear Holly and Jeff,

I do not know you but I do know the hurt you feel with the loss of Caleb. My son Noah passed away at 15 months due to a tragic accident. May 18 will be the 4 year anniversary of Noah's passing and still today it doesn't seem real. Just know that you have a beautiful guardian angel to look down over you and to keep you and your other children safe. Caleb is having the time of his life and I know that my little Noah welcomed him with open arms. You will be in thoughs and prayers and in this time of need you should pull your family and friends in and lean on them for support. Let them be the strong ones and use their shoulders to cry upon. Just remember its OK to cry.

Holly as a mother to a mother, write to Caleb, just write to him and talk to him. I have kept Noah's book online so that I can write to him and tell him my good times and my bad. It makes me feel as if this is my connection with Noah and it is what helped me heal the most.

A LETTER FROM HEAVEN...by Ruth Ann Mahaffey
To my dearest family, some things Id like to say. But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I’m writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there’s no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I’m out of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through. God picked me up and hugged me and He said, “I welcome you”. Its good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, They’ll be here later on. I need you here so badly, you are part of my plan. There is so much that we can do, to help our mortal man. God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night the days chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years. Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. If I were to tell you, you wouldn’t understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o’er. I’m closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and Id like it for you too; that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who is in sorrow and pain; Then you can say to God at night....my day was not in vain. And now I am contented... that my life was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low; just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go. When you’re walking down the street and you’ve got me on your mind; I’m walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it’s time for you to go...from that body to be free. Remember you’re not going...you’re coming here to me.
