Caleb Luke Fish
December 12, 2013 – July 8, 2014
Caleb Luke Fish was born on December 12, 2013, to Zeb and Leah Fish and his four sisters, Claire, Hallie, Audrey and Julia. Born at 29 weeks, weighing 3 pounds 4 ounces, Caleb miraculously remained inside his mother’s womb despite her water breaking at 19 weeks. After birth, it was evident that Caleb’s lungs were significantly underdeveloped, making the length of his life unknown. He fought courageously and valiantly for nearly seven months surrounded by so many who love him. Though we are grieving, our minds and hearts are filled with memories that we will always cherish. His giant spirit and beautiful disposition have touched many lives. We find comfort in the knowledge we have that he is now free of his struggles in the arms of our loving Savior and is surrounded by dear loved ones. We are honored to be the parents of such a courageous spirit and are grateful to know that Caleb is a part of our eternal family.

Our thoughts and prayers like so many now are with you! What a beautiful boy who has touched so many lives! Hugs!-Susan Richardson Chapman

ReplyDeleteYou have shown such strength though such a trial. Although I do not know you personally your story has touches my heart. I pray he will heal your pain and give you strength to face life on earth without this sweet child. My prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteLeah, I have thought of you and Caleb often, Today I decided to try and look you guys up and was devestated to find out about your lose. Caleb must have whispered that you needed some extra thoughts today. I am praying for peace and healing and hope. The time we spent with you guys in the NICU has stayed with me as Caleb has. When I would go to vist James and to hold him I always prayed for him and for some reason I always prayed for baby Fish as well -- You are in my thoughts on my mind and in my heart -- Jennifer Armistead
