“Nice on the 9th"

After marking each month of the first year without our pride, joy, heart and soul we decided we would no longer pause on the worst day of our lives, but instead celebrate the best day – the day Caleb was born. Every 9th of the month, we share The Caleb Effect to celebrate our beautiful boy’s much too brief, but exceptionally full life and to spread awareness of SUDC (more info in the SUDC tab). We remember Caleb by choosing a cause and performing acts of kindness. We are “Nice on the 9th” in memory of the 9th of February, 2014 when we received life’s most perfect blessing. Our goal is for Caleb’s radiant, contagiously happy life to shine brighter than our sadness, to spread love into the vast darkness and bring light into every crevice of our shattered, grieving hearts. We hope you will join us and share your pictures and stories on our website or social media pages to let us know how Caleb influenced you.

“Be nice”
(how it all started)

Being in traffic with Caleb was a good time to practice not cursing.
Instead, I starting saying "come on people, be nice."
From that day on, we would hear a little voice saying,
"be nice, vroom vrooms." 
He corrected the dog and anyone else who would listen.

Whether you have only your smile to give
or millions, everyone can do something. 

"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."
-Dalai Lama
