Caleb Lennon Wile
Borrowed from Heaven 2/9/14. Returned 5/2/16. We may never know how or why, but we do know that the most special and beautiful boy has been promoted to be Grandpa Lee’s co-pilot in heaven. He was brilliant and too good for this world, and he touched every soul he met. Caleb never knew a stranger and he never slowed down, except to look at the wheels of his "vroom vrooms" as he played on the floor.
He smiled with his whole face and loved unconditionally with his whole heart. He brought color to our soul and let us see the world as a child again through his eyes. Hug your loved ones every day. Hold your children as much as you can. Our hearts and souls will never be the same. Our world is shattered but we know Caleb was put on this Earth to teach us all how to love. Our perfect baby left behind his parents, numerous friends and family, and even admirers of his unofficial fan club who never even met him. Caleb was truly a gift, a light, and treasure.
“If I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.” Rest in God’s arms sweet boy. Until we meet again.
One day.
