Calebs Battle
Welcome to Caleb's Cancer pages. 
This site is devoted to the life and memory of my son, Caleb Lineberry Wright.  Caleb had a rare form of childhood liver cancer, Hepatoblastoma.  Caleb was 2 years and 11 months old and bravely battled his cancer nearly 2 years, to the day. 
Through everything Caleb was happy, exceptionally couragous, and we were truely blessed to have him; even if only for a short time, Caleb was and still is a bright shinning light in our lives and hearts, he will always be with us...
