Wink around the World

Caleb celebrates his 6^th birthday this week!  

Our little miracle turns 6!  

He is old enough to be in kindergarten, 

and he has two wiggle front teeth.  

To an outsider looking in Caleb’s physical capabilities haven’t changed very much since he was a baby.  

His body isn’t able to hold his head, to sit or to stand.  

His mouth doesn’t know how to eat.  

He needs help to breathe.  

His eyes don’t always see and his muscles need help to stretch and reach.  

He loves to be held.  

Yet, insiders know

 though Caleb can’t lift his head. He lifts.  

Though his mouth can’t eat, his smile radiates.  

Though he needs help to breathe, his breathes hope.  

His eyes don’t always see, but he winks.  

His muscles need help, but he reaches out.  

He loves to be held, but it is he who holds us.  

Caleb loves- really loves.  

His little wink reminds us every day that love is his mission. 

So this year Caleb has a special birthday wish.  

WINK.  

Find a way to love someone.

 Let’s see if we can send a wink around the world for my little boy

 who has never uttered a word yet says so much with a little 

WINK.
