I feel as tho I know Caleb and his family. I have gotten several emails about Caleb asking for prayers and received updates on him. There are people just like me that have said special prayer for Caleb, and now all thoes prayers are for his family. Because we know that Caleb does not need our prayers anymore, he is now talking to God about your pain. Know that he has great parents that did everything they could for him. Remember now that God does not put anything on us that we can not handle, so he knew whom to give this special child to and know that he will take care of you.

I share in the loss of your child as I lost my young daughter 16 yrs ago. I know you don't think the hurt will ever go away and you are right. But it does ease with time. Just cherish the memories you have of Caleb and don't be afraid to always mention his name.
Here is a poem someone gave to me.
Don't worry about me, loved ones
About my sorrows nor my pains
There was a chariot sitting and waiting for me
It was marked in Jesus, name
Don't try to understand the reason it happened
It might entangle the mind
Believe that God is still in control
And my home going is divine
I know it's hard to understand
How such a thing could be
Darkness sometimes can create a light
All of us need to see
Trust in God with all your heart
He will help you to make it through
Old things in your life will pass away
And all things He'll make new
