Earlier this month, the unthinkable happened to Carla and Chris Sloan of North Miami when their 7-year-old son, Calder, died after being electrocuted in his own swimming pool. In the days following, Sloan family friend Jim Cahill sought a way to honor Calder's outgoing spirit. Cahill decided to share a self-portrait Calder had recently drawn, entitled "Mr. Awesome" (his Dad's nickname for him) on his Facebook page and asked his friends to post pictures of themselves on adventures with "Mr. Awesome." The words attached were written by another friend to describe the boy's spirit: "Adventure. Laughter. Kindness." Hundreds responded immediately.
