Hi, all. This is Jenelle, Caleb‘s mom. Long time, no post I know. Not too long after we started this little nonprofit I was chatting with another nonprofit Mom. She made the comment that studies show you have about seven years after death where the public pays attention and after that public support starts to wain. We got six years in and found ourselves in the middle of a global pandemic that made most of what we had done up to that point not possible. As a matter of fact, shut down began the weekend I was scheduled to do another photo shoot for the faces of donation campaign with Iowa Donor Network. Since the pandemic and all of the grief triggers and PTSD responses that brought from my own little immediate family, I’ve honestly felt very tired. I never have stopped thinking about Caleb or wanting to honor him and celebrate him. So much of life has felt daunting. Lately, our kids have been asking me about doing more in Caleb‘s memory again. I suppose I just wanted you all to know that Caleb is not forgotten and the support and encouragement that everyone has given over the years was never taken for granted. We look forward to getting back to the work we love. Thanks for sticking around!
