So I went to Caleb's Celebration of Life vigil last night. It was truly remarkable and truly a rememberance of Caleb's short, but FULL life. Many tears fell, but it was beautiful. At the end of the service, people were invited to share thoughts with the family. Have you ever heard someone put something into words that you could never figure out how to say (or even attempted for that matter)???? Well, it happened to me last night and I thought I'd share it with you and document it for my children.
Caleb's pediatrician stood up and said some beautiful words to the family then said,
"In knowing Caleb I have now learned why God gives us children....They are here to show us the same containless, boundless love Christ has for us."
It may not have been said exactly like that, but all I can say is...."well, ain't that the truth!!!???" You don't have to have your own children to understand that. I think at some point, everyone's heart has been touched by a child's containless love. Just thought I'd share...

Oh Courtney. I just caught up on your blog and read about Caleb. I cannot imagine what his parents are feeling now. How wonderful that they were able to celebrate every day. I have been keeping up on them and I am so sad for them but glad sweet Caleb is free. Please let them know they have many prayers from Tennessee.
