Glorious Sunday morn

Tonight is the benifit for Matthew Dieltz Williams-- please take the time to support another local boy. Matt lost his arm in a car accident and I know prior to Caleb's accident, he was on board to do a raw bar for Matt and I know he would want you to be there. I don't know all the details but it is today at the Elks club - Please go! Yesterday was our first set-back day and tho I expected it sooner or later - I was thrown off balance and lost it. Caleb was in alot of pain and was vacant for most of the day -- he has not required pain medication for about a week now but he was down for the count and kept asking for meds. This is one of the most painful situations a parent can be in - you feel so helpless! I have not seen him yet today but Kai and Max are arriving and I hope his spirits will be up and running once again. When Caleb graduated from high school I helped him pay for a trip to Europe to travel with Chad and Mike D. Caleb was dating Grace at the time and he promised he would celibrate their one year anniversary at midnight. After a long night out (as I think every night was) with the boys , Caleb dragged himself out into the alley outside of the hostel, lit a fire with toilet paper and little sticks in spite of the continued drizzle of rain, opened a bottle of whiskey and in Caleb's own way celebrated their union - which means he was loud - yelling Grace's name into the night. A man and his two little children came out with a hot bowl of soup and warm towels and in that moment Caleb realized that they mistook him for a bum in the streets. Since he didn't speak German he could not begin to explain, but that experience of pure love and compassion stayed with him. At night when I drag my weary self to the bed and lie there thinking about Caleb, I too am touched by all the love and compassion - I feel like in your wishes, you bring us hot soup and warm towels each night. Thank you. Mum
