Guest Blog #2: Judith a.k.a. "Chris Miner"

Hello everyone! I was asked by sharon, or the crazy lady as I like to call her, to tell you a little bit about Caleb. So here I am. I am one of the lads close friends. I pondered what to say to everyone for quite a while, so here goes.

I live in Wellfleet with my wonderful family, Nicole my awesome wife always by my side, and my son Caleb who is just like the lad in every way. If you are wondering it is not a coincidence, he got his name from the lad. My son though because of the confusion of both their names being Caleb, we then renamed caleb potter to: "Uncle Poop." It fits perfect. I, like the lad, am a local fisherman and modern day pirate.

Enough about me, I would like to help you fill in the puzzle pieces so maybe you can see a little more of the big picture. Caleb is wonderful, friendly, calm, kind natured, helpful, and respectful. The best kind of friend a guy could have. Always the center of attention where ever he might be. I am proud to be a pirate on the best ship in the world, with yellowbeard at the helm.

Caleb has done so much for me that if I listed everything, you would be reading for days. He is the type of guy that if you called him at 2 a.m. because you needed help(which I have). He would be there in 5 minutes. Or maybe he would just sit and listen when I need to vent. Or just a kind hug, and a glance with the simple words, "What's up Judi?" is enough to put a smile on my face. He is just about the best wing man a guy could have. He is truly one of a kind.

Days before the accident my mother called me to tell me that; Caleb had driven down to the trailer park to see jenny's family. Yet the Wellfleet road race was blocking their exit. Caleb always remembering every little road in Wellfleet, rememberd the driving path to town. The path, though, goes right through my mother's front lawn. Instead of just flying through her yard, and escaping. He stopped walked up to the front door and rang the doorbell. Patiently waiting for approval. My stepfather answered the door and caleb then stated, "I am friends with Chris and I was wondering if I might be able to drive through?" My stepfather then replied, "No one has ever asked for permission, you can drive through anytime you want." This is caleb every minute of every day of every year. Kind and respectful and always thinking of others before himself, and usually charming the pants off of anyone he comes in contact with.

I am proud to be friends with the lad. There is no doubt in my mind he will return as the Yellowbeard he truly is. If Karma has anything to do with it then this kids got enough good will for 2 lifetimes. Keep praying for Caleb Potter. I also want to thank anyone that is involved in the massive Caleb Potter Campaign. From the benefits, to his grant, to the bloggers keeping sharon occupied, I say "THANK YOU."

Much Love
