In the latest preview, thanks to Us Weekly, Tammy is finally going home to be with her family after 14 months in the facility. Unfortunately, Caleb has to stay behind because he has not reached his goals just yet. As Tammy is packing up her things to go, Caleb stops her so he can share a poem he wrote for her. It is absolutely beautiful and even more heartwrenching now that he has since passed:

“Sunflower, sunflower, God planted you as a seed in a field full of many, but you he meant for me. In fields full of green, representing the life that you have breathed inside your king.”

This fills Caleb and Tammy Slaton with so much emotion and she tells her husband that she loves what he wrote. He notes that she is his “sunflower.” Keep in mind that they had sunflowers as their flower of choice at their wedding.
