"...I read the story about your son Caleb in
one of your mom's books and then read more about him on your blogs. Thank you
for sharing his story. Reading about Caleb and your family has been inspiring to
me. I love the message of sharing love with a "Wink". I live in Delta now and
each year our community has a Christmas Tree Festival where people in the
community decorate Christmas trees and then donate them to the festival. The
trees are auctioned to businesses or community members and all of the proceeds
go to Sub for Santa and the Food Bank. I am in the young women's presidency in
my ward and this year the young women and young men in our ward will be joining
with people in our community who have special needs to decorate a tree for the
festival. We were hoping to share Caleb's story with our Young Men and Young
Women and then have the theme of our Christmas tree be "Wink"...We would like to
encourage our youth to share love this holiday with a "Wink" in honor of
Caleb..." I'll never forget the year Caleb played the angel in our annual family Nativity Play complete with costumes. Caleb's father Dallan spoke the words for Caleb when it was his turn but we all felt that it was Caleb's booming voice that said, "Fear Not! For behold I bring you tidings of great joy!"
We miss you Caleb. You are a real angel now.

Such beautiful treasures for your Christmas tree. I'm so happy that people were so caring to you and your family. I'm sure it was very hard not having precious Caleb with you, but he was certainly there in spirit.
Shirley, thank you for your kind comments on my blog. They always make my day.
