They were all I had left of him. One day, my mother-in-law threw the chest out, calling his things \u201cgarbage.\u201d I was devastated, but when I later discovered she had even pawned Caleb\u2019s bracelet for cash, I knew I had to make her regret it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a family dinner, I calmly played hidden camera footage of her taking the chest, then slid the pawn shop receipt with her signature across the table. Finally, I played a recording of Caleb\u2019s voice saying, \u201cGoodnight, Mommy. I love you to the moon and back.\u201d My husband and his family were horrified, and she left in shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She thought she could erase my son, but instead, she revealed who she really was. Caleb\u2019s memory lives on with me \u2014 and she will carry the weight of what she did forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two years after my little boy Caleb died, I kept his most precious belongings in a cedar chest \u2014 his dinosaur hoodie, tiny sneakers, drawings, and my&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2346,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"views":538,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2345"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2345\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2347,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2345\/revisions\/2347"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
