We walk in and see the priest and a casket I can't look at the casket his body is in there that same body that I saw a week ago I can't feel my body I sit down in a pew and start breathing heavily hi you must be the leblanc s billy has told me much about you I am very sorry for your loss the priest says I'm Hayley Hayley says and I would like to give a speech my mom and dad look at each other confused and the priest says well do you have one yes she says it's in Annie's purse and points to me I hand the speech and continue my minor melt down I hear the priest and my parents whisper and then the priest asked if he can talk to me privately I get up and go into his office so Annie he says I understand you are going through this roughly. Sure it's rough and all I say but I don't care about that what I care about is that I never said goodbye to David uncle Jim and Caleb I swore I would always say good bye and I never did I never got to it's not fair I just want to say goodbye one last time. The priest looks at me in surprise and sits there well then umm your parents told me you don't want to talk fine I'll do it but I want to say what I'm going to say I don't care if I break your rules I say getting ready to leave fine bye me he says and walks me to the door I'll see you at the service your parents have requested for you all to say I final goodbye together I walk out and see everyone around him you okay Hayley whispers I've been better I say and hug her. We stand by the door and greet everyone as they come in I see Paige and she runs over to hug me "you me Hayley and your parents a trip to LA let's do it" I wish I say and walk with her to where we are sitting I see nonnie hi nonnie say hi baby girl she says and continues to pray we sit down I'm sitting next to Paige and Hayley but I feel Caleb right next to me.
Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to celebrate the life of Caleb Logan LeBlanc. Caleb was a great friend,son,brother and young man he brought joy to everyone and never left someone sad. Now the leblancs daughters have requested to say a few words first the youngest miss Hayley
My brother Caleb was the nicest funniest and weirdest person ever he always made me happy and never failed to make me laugh like Caleb would say I'm camera shy and she walked away everyone laughed and clapped Hayley sat down with a great smile on her face
My turn I can do this
Hi everyone I'm annie most of you know that though I say really awkwardly. Anyways Caleb was the kind of boy that never left you. You just couldn't forget him. He always stayed in your mind this happened all in a heartbeat everything did I say losing my track of thought. Over the past year I got closer and closer with Caleb and one thing I learned from him was that he celebrated life every day to the fullest he never gave up always did things the best he could but from now on I will celebrate life I will do things in a heart beat and what I ask you all to do is to think what would Caleb do?
I sit down my mom goes over and hugs me she whispers let's go to LA with Paige I think what Caleb would say and say okay she laughs and whips away my tears
