When I first found out that Caleb died on the 2nd of October 2015 I rushed around trying to find out how he died.1 month and a week later doctors found out what it was. I rushed into my room and grabbed my i-pad out and looked up what it was.it was so upsetting. Today I still wish that Caleb was still here. Even though his feet aren’t touching the ground no one could ever forget him.

Today we stay without Caleb as he has died he’s always watching over every one of his subscribers, lovers and prayers.
