2026,

Firstly I want to apologise for being so quiet on here and not doing enough promoting and charity events. Unfortunately the last few years have been tough but we are going to get into raising awareness and doing our bit for charity.

Caleb was a boy whom loved to go for walks. He would have loved to explore more country parks, especially going to the peak districts. Melissa has set the standard and she’ll be hiking peak districts in aid of remembering Caleb’s outdoor adventures aswell as raising money for cancer research.

5 years….

When you allow yourself to feel it feels the same. Time isn’t a healer, time just allows you to emotionally manage the pain you carry everyday.

Caleb Declan Jude Smith,

You was incredible. Remembering you today I promise I’ll smile and laugh probably even have a dance but I can’t promise I won’t cry.
I can normally string words together but today I’ll just stick with incredible. Everyone knows it my Flash. Fly high my pilot. |-/

I encourage everyone to light a candle tonight to remember Caleb gone but never ever forgotten.

Love you son ❤️⚡️

This band helps me stay connected to my son. We spent hours figuring the lore of this band understanding the meaning of Dema who and what are the bishops. Rocking to heavydirtysoul…
Finding out the bishops have names who created them. When Caleb passed our blended family kept this tradition on as we entered the next chapter scaled and icy. Trash the dragon entered the scene we dissected the meaning of him. Noticed Caleb’s bolt in the Choker music video. Lyrics having deeper meaning because of Caleb’s passing.
Staying up until 1am to watch the live stream to see if there where any more storytelling. To mulberry street becoming Caleb’s brothers favourite song. This band helps us keep him alive . Recently the latest and final album dropped “Clancy” this is the ending of the story as much as I love the album it’s saddening this is the end. However with each Easter egg that drops we find ourselves smiling being excited just how me and Caleb once were on that hospital bed. London I seen them live this is not an edited picture if you know anything about my boy the bolt is him the picture speaks volumes. Always with me forever he’ll be…. Thank you for the memories twenty one pilots. Go listen to album or dive into the lore you’ll love it just like my Caleb ⚡️

🎗World Cancer Day…

A day we never even knew about before we were thrown into the oncology world. We’ve met so many families that state the same, that they just didn’t know about it. This has to change.
We have to raise more awareness for this cruel and heartbreaking disease.
Not just for those families who are still on their journey, but to all the warriors, who like our Caleb, gained their wings from this awful disease.

Every parent believes their child is one of a kind, is truly special, is a hero in their own right. As much as that is true, we truly believe Caleb had his own level of how much he was a hero, our hero. During is treatment he had many surgeries and procedures, some even we have said that we would struggle to deal with, yet our boy never lost his smile. (Although he did like to try and be a bit grumpy but would soon end up smirking and then laughing.) His smile, and the sparkle in his eyes will always be remembered as credit to himself.

We will be lighting his candle this evening to just take a moment, to remember him and all our fellow angel warriors, alongside all those still fighting on their journey. Feel free to join us. It will be greatly appreciated.

Caleb, our Young sir, our baby boy, you will never be forgotten, we miss you everyday, we love you forever and, you will always be our hero. ⚡️💙

All our love,
TFF⚡️🎗 ###x
