God is with us all tonight!

Your heartfelt words are such a comfort to me as I sit here in my recliner, next to the King sized bed, as Asa is asleep with the boys next to her, also asleep. She will respond in time. God is with us all tonight! Know that Asa and I are discussing how to best offer you a chance to say goodbye one last time. As we also want to look into each one of your eyes and tell you how much he loved you all. And how this incredible outpouring of love and support, along with with our faith in Jesus Christ, will somehow allow us to get through the upcoming days.
                                                                                            
A word of advice to all who are hurting. Everyone of us is asking why? We may never have an adequate answer on this side of eternity. Second, each one of you is asking, what did I miss? What if I had said something? Noticed something? Not gotten angry? Did this or that?

That line of questioning will lead you down a path to a very bad place. You loved him. He was hurting. We tried getting him help. He chose an action with consequences we will all bear for a lifetime. He is at peace now. He is hurting no more. You classmates and friends need to come together in love and support each other. Remember the good times, Cherish them. Cherish each other.

And Please, if you are hurting so bad you are thinking of harming yourself, reach out to someone, anyone, us. If you want to honor Caleb, his memory, our loss. Do not bring any more pain into this situation. REACH OUT. Asa and I love you all. And when she is able, your words, will form a blanket of love and support that wraps around her in the lonely times to come. Know that Gods peace is with our family. If you want to know about that peace, we would enjoy sharing with you.
