Caleb Dean Gramkow
October 21, 2015
19 weeks 3 days gestation
10.5 oz. 9.5 inches long

 Our Sweet Caleb Dean Gramkow was born at 1:05 pm on Wednesday, October 21, 2015, into perfect peace, straight into Jesus's arms. We named him Caleb because we stepped out in faith to give him the best chance at life. And like Caleb's story in the Old Testament, we know our Caleb is now scoping out the glorious Promised Land. What a place it will be. We are heartbroken and "wandering in the wilderness" that is this broken world before we join him there. Our time here will still be spent giving God the reverence only He is worthy of. We are trying. How many miracles must we witness and still have unbelief? We have witnessed so many, God blessed us with 19 weeks carrying him while his heart beat here... Sweet Caleb our hearts will not be whole again until we meet up in the Promised Land. We are forever changed.
