Thank You for Visting and Posting

Its been six months now since Cailean passed away and the fact that we’ll never get to see his smiling face, listen to him jam on his guitar, or just have him there to goof off with sets in more and more each day. I am not a religious person at all, but I do believe that there are ‘angels’ on this Earth that you meet in everyday life. They always manage to put a smile on your face even in the darkest of times and it always feels good to be around them. Cailean always had that effect on me and still now just the thought of him makes my hardest days seem that much easier to take. I have so many memories and such affection for him that putting up this website seemed like something I had to do for myself to get through the loss of my brother and to make sure the memory of him is passed on. When it started, I thought the website would just be someplace I could go when I needed to remember Cailean, not really imagining that so many other s would come and visit. I am glad that so many of you have come to look at pictures and read about Cailean. Thank you to those that have posted their own thoughts and memories–every one has touched me and my entire family. I hope to reorganize the entire site some time in the near future and if anyone needs help posting please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. mariel@slowburn.net

I just read your post and it made me cry. Mariel, I’m so sorry Cailean is no longer here with us. He was at my home in spirit this past Thanksgiving. Cailean was a big topic of our conversation. Ryan misses him so much, we all do. We made a toast to him hoping he is just where he wanted to be. I know in my heart of hearts that he is. I just wish I could say something to Mom and Dad to ease their pain a little, not to mention you and Brittany.
Always know Cailean adored all of you. I think if he knew the pain he would have caused things would be different now. He didn’t realize it and now he is with the Lord, and I am sure very happy where he is.
I wish for all of you that life gets a little easier to bear day by day.
May God Bless all of you and send you brighter days. And God Bless Cailean.

Hello. I am a current student at the garrison school. I did not know Cailean that well, but i was a tutored student student of his mother and I got to know her quite well. I feel so sorry for the great loss that your family has experienced. I did meet Cailean many times at the highlands country club and he even tried to teach me a song or two on the guitar. He was a very outgoing, brave and fun guy. I believe with all of my heart that Cailean still has that Huge,Bright, Gentle smile in heaven right now. I have written many poems for him. Here is one of them:

“Cailean, please make sure that you’ll wait
You are on that stairway
Glaring at the pearly gate
Remembering the good times
And true friends you made
You feel no pain
But we do remain
We love you
And dont you forget..
The happy times you’ve had
And the great people you’ve met”
