MISSING HIM...

I know without a doubt that Ben wasn't ready to leave me.  His body was just too tired.  I know he would have chosen to stay with his family if he had that choice.  But he didn't, and neither did we.  So life continues on without him and it's hard.  My heart is heavy every single minute of every single day because it's missing him.  But I am so thankful I have so many pictures to look at every day.  I love looking at his big blue eyes, his kissable cheeks, the fluffy head of hair and his long, flirty eyelashes.  How I miss that boy.

What a beautiful boy he was and still is. He holds his mouth just like Noah does too. I want to give those lips a big kiss. Love to you. xxx

And aren't you so grateful for pictures? I was watching a movie, Amish Grace, about the Amish school shooting (a great movie about forgiveness, by the way) and one mother mentioned how she had not one picture of her daughter because of what they believe. How that struck me.... I heard about your blog through a friend and keep you in our prayers....

Becky, the tears are coming quickly as I read your precious words and see pictures of Ben smiling in pictures below. My heart and prayers go out to you knowing how much your heart aches daily to hold him and be with him. The thought of losing a child brings tears to the thought. Love you Becky!
