Remembering...

Caleb. He would be 6 today.
When I look at Charlotte and Levi, I can't help but wonder. Would he look like they do, with their dark hair, huge dark eyes? Would he make me laugh out loud like they do? Would he wrap his arms around my neck and say, "I love you, Grandma" and make my heart melt?

When I first heard this song by Laura Story, I knew it was special.  I have listened closely to these words, played the song over and over. And this week--every week but especially this week--I know that through all the heartache, though we only had him for three short days, Caleb will always be a blessing.

Your precious little Caleb.....

I will say yes to all your questions...and what a blessing to have Calab for 3 days...Please celibrate every movement, breath, and touch that you got to share in those moments he spent with you all. The pain will never go, but what you do with that pain is important...Please do feed the pain with positive thoughts and prayers. The song is wonderfull. I play one all the time by Rasscal Flats called Moving on & My wish...I hope you like then...God Bless to you all
