Caleb,
I miss you so much it's not even funny. Who am I kidding? Who am I trying to fool? Everyone's fooled and I thought I was too. I got tangled in the lies in my mind and deperately wanted them to become reality. But they aren't. You really are gone. You really are never coming back. And I'm really never going to get past that. Today I thought about all the good times you had, and how you got to meet all your heros. I'm so happy for you bud. And I guess we're alike because I got to meet my hero too-you. Caleb you're the greatest kid I had ever met. It kills me more and more each day to know that I don't have as many memories of you as I'd like to. I haven't seen you since you were five. You were so little back then-in size I mean. But boy, for what you lacked in height you grew in so much else. You brought a whole new outlook to the term "wise beyond your years". I honestly believe you were smarter than half the adults in this world. Maybe not in academics, but in heart. You knew what it was like to be loved, and you knew how to show it back. You knew how to be the best you could be. You knew how to live everyday like it's your last. And you did. You didn't know how long you had but you made the best of life.
Today when I read the little paragraph about you in Sports Illustrated I broke down and cried. Cried for happiness and cried for sorrow. It was in a David Oritz article. They mentioned how you met him! Boy if Heaven's got a fax machine, send me the number and I'll send you the article with a thumbtack so you can stick it to the walls of your cloud. I miss you so much. I'm so happy for you. You always were thankful. For everything. You always knew how to treat people. Man, David Ortiz is the luckiest guy on Earth. Along with the others. Some people would think "Gosh, Caleb got to met the Red Sox! He's so lucky!" but to me it's "Gosh, the Red Sox got to meet Caleb! How lucky of them!"
I love you buddy.
I hope all is well up there, I hope you got to meet lots of other kids like you, and I hope know you got reunited with your Grandpa...and I bet the view of Fenway is fantastic. :]
Love,
Me.
