I am laying here again. We are headed back to Inman in the morning. But right now there us such a peace in our room tonight. A peace that comes from God. Your prayers are being answered!
I visited Ravanel bridge today. Some wanted to and some didn't. Both ways were the proper way to grieve. Ironically, all of us who did go have height issues, but none of us felt nothing but safe. The railing was over my head. And no, I will not share with you the location. I gave Caleb a stern talking to (just kidding) I said my Good bye's.
The detective on the case and our victims advocate spent about 3 hours on a Saturday, first at our hotel, then accompanying us onto the bridge. They have been available to our family as much as we want them to be. Sheriff Chuck Wright offered any and all assistance needed by the Mount Pleasant PD, all they had to do was ask. And our Inman PD Chief, Keith Tucker, has offered the same. Amazing!
I have no idea of what turn out will be on Tuesday, I am concerned about space. Know if we need to have another memorial due to folks not fitting in, we will. Asa and I will stay after until every neck is hugged and every person is heard by us. We do plan on videoing the service and posting it in a few days.
We want to publicly thank the head pastor of Inman First Baptist, Dr. Paul Moore, who did not hesitate one moment when asked to open his sanctuary to the community. And we do not attend there either.
We are not ashamed of how Caleb died. It is called suicide, and we have long believed suicide is not a dis qualifier to God. We know where Caleb is. If you are feeling overwhelmed, REACH OUT. There are too many great resources and people who want to listen and to help. Do not isolate yourself.
Asa and I love you so much. Your prayers are working. We will let you know if anything else is needed.
