A Poem by a Friend of a Bereaved Parent

-Anonymous

Eva’s son Kaleb was diagnosed at 7 years old with an aggressive type of brain tumor called medulloblastoma in 2023. It was removed and he did amazingly well during treatment–until things became complicated and the cancer suddenly spread. Six weeks later Kaleb left this earth to go HOME. January 27th marks two years since Kaleb left earth.

Eva lost her first daughter, Noa, who was still born in 2014. She feels relief knowing they are together and with Jesus.  Currently, she resides in Spain with her husband and six-year-old daughter Eden.

Eva’s friend wrote a poem in honor of Kaleb (above).
