Caden Prieskorn's wife Cali put together a special gift box for Lulu Gribbin, a 15-year-old who was attacked by a shark on June 7. The vicious attack took place on the coast of Florida Watersound, and she ended up losing her left hand and part of her right leg.

Therefore, to uplift the spirits of the recovering Mountain Brook teen, Cali packed a gift box for Lulu. She added an Ole Miss sweatshirt and hat and a vibrant football t-shirt. Cali also included a purple tumbler, another three packs of lavender-colored t-shirts, and three packs of butterflies in the gift box.

"When I think of butterflies, I just think of strength and beauty. This could be a really cool way for her to be reminded of her own."

Cali also added a notepad, a purse, Ole Miss cups, candies, candles, notecards, a "feel better soon" card, stickers, and a signed pigskin from Ole Miss players.

Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban also gave a shoutout to Lulu and showed his support for her.

"Lulu, Ms. Terry [his wife], and I are certainly wishing for your very speedy recovery. We know you're a fighter. We know that you're gonna prevail through all of this. I want you to know that there are many many people out there that are praying for your speedy recovery. So, God bless and Roll Tide."

Caden Prieskorn celebrated his first Father's Day without his dad

It seems like Cali's love language is to put together gift boxes and baskets for her loved ones. The Ole Miss Rebels tight end celebrated Father's Day with his wife, who made a special gift box for her husband. Cali also said in the video uploaded on Instagram that it was Caden Prieskorn's first Father's Day without his dad.

"We are gonna paint for Father's Day. This Father's Day just looks a little different for us. There's a lot that has changed. Caden's dad passed away last October, colon cancer. This is his first Father's Day without his dad."

She blew up balloons decorated with hands and footprints of the TE's children. Cali also wrote heartfelt messages that Caden Prieskorn's dad, Jerry Prieskorn, had sent him via text messages in the past. Additionally, she threw in candies, clothing items, and other goodies into the special bag.
