Dear Naib family,
I just learned your devastating news and I wanted to add my voice to the many voices extending sympathy. I am so incredibly sorry. I don’t know you, didn’t know Cayman, only knew what a sweet boy he was through mutual friends who have children who attend school with yours.
My heart breaks for all of you in this time of sadness and no words can adequately express how any of us feel. He is your child and I am so sorry for the pain and sadness.
I am sitting here in tears, and you all are strangers to me. But the simple fact is when you become a parent, even a step parent like I am, you begin a journey of love that is like no other. It is complicated, messy, wonderful, amazing, enriching, and spectacular all at the same time. My child is but a year or so older than Cayman so this hits very close to home for me for this reason. Again I am so truly and deeply sorry for your loss.
My most heartfelt condolences and prayers.
To my readers out there, please say prayers for Cayman and his family. This is such a devastating loss that no human being would ever want for another.
Reluctance
Out through the fields and the woods
And over the walls I have wended;
I have climbed the hills of view
And looked at the world and descended;
I have come by the highway home,
And lo, it is ended.The leaves are all dead on the ground,
Save those that the oak is keeping
To ravel them one by one
And let them go scraping and creeping
Out over the crusted snow,
When others are sleeping.And the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
No longer blown hither and thither;
The last lone aster is gone;
The flowers of the witch-hazel wither;
The heart is still aching to seek,
But the feet question ‘Whither?’Ah, when to the heart of man
Was it ever less than a treason
To go with the drift of things,
To yield with a grace to reason,
And bow and accept the end
Of a love or a season?Robert Frost
Philadelphia Inquirer: Police sources: Body of Cayman Naib, 13, found in creek bed near family home

The body of 13-year-old Cayman Naib, who disappeared from his Newtown Square home Wednesday night, hours before a snowstorm, was found Sunday by searchers, his family said in a Facebook posting.
A police source told The Inquirer that the youth was discovered about 1:30 p.m. by a search team with K-9 dogs in the bed of Darby Creek, a few hundred yards from his family’s home on a 13-acre property on Harrison Drive. The source said the location of the discovery was off St. Davids Road and Paper Mill Road.
The cause of death was undetermined. It was not clear if the youth’s body was in water. The body was turned over to the Delaware County Medical Examiner’s office.
It’s almost hard to conceive that a being who was born after the new millennium, has evolved into a young man who feels the weight of his actions and decisions so keenly, that he is distressed enough to need to visit Mother Nature in solitude, after falling short of his expectations for himself.
What a sensitive and highly evolved young man he must have been. I send to his family and loved ones, waves of love and peace, as the reality of your loss becomes your new yardstick for life. Blessings, strength, hope to you.
So beautiful Carla. Thank you.
I don’t know you or your family but I want to express how very sorry I am for your loss. I have grandchildren Caymans age and can’t begin to know what you’re going thru. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
