My Caleb's work isn't done.....as he showed me today


During Caleb's last moments I layed next to him & told him that he needs to make sure to come down & give me a swift kick in the bum every now and then. That we still had work to do & I can't be laying around crying....(eventhough I could probably fill an ocean with all the tears I've cried lately). We've been working so hard at advocating for special needs children on the medical & financial aspects of life. So we chatted a while & I know he was listening....eventhough there was no sign of him being a part of this earth anymore. Well, this morning I got a call from a gentleman with the FL House Health & Human Services Access Committee in Tallahassee. He said that one of our Representatives that we have been talking with contacted him about Caleb's story & what we have done these past 2 years in trying to make changes. We talked for quite some time about the lack of services there are for children & families like ours, etc. He said that he would like to talk more & I asked if I could call in a couple of weeks...need to try & pull it together. He also asked if I would be interested in going to Tallahassee to tell our story & talk about what changes we think are needed. Of course!!! I was so glad to get this call today. That's my Caleb giving me a swift kick...telling me to get moving. I so miss & love him...I pray that I can continue to do his work and make him proud.

  4. Jeannette, this is awesome news. Whenever you're here, if you need a place to stay, there's always room in my home. (Also, my husband is almost always able to great deals on lodging here in town.) I mean it. My home is open. Thinking of you every day. -- Karen
