Today I left on a three day road trip to deliver Ben's van to his friend Junior. It's a bitter/sweet trip. Bitter because I wish that Ben was still here to use it but sweet because I know that Junior really needs this van and so it makes my heart happy. Ben spoke to my heart after he passed and told me who I needed to give this van to. It's been almost two months and here it is finally coming to fruition. I drove down to my sister's house today and will leave early in the morning to officially start the drive out to Utah where we will meet up with Heidi and Junior. I can't wait to finally meet them in person. I can't wait for them to finally have a wheel chair accessible van. I've never driven more than five hours straight so please keep me in your prayers that I will make it safely and that the van will not have any issues. I will keep you posted on this big adventure.
MISSION "BEN'S VAN TO JUNIOR"

After every post I read, I never know what to say. But I'm always so full of emotion: Gratitude that I get to "know" your family, sorrow over losing Ben, awe that you are so strong and caring and sweet, and I feel just plain LOVE mostly!!!

Becky told me yesterday the story of Junior and Heidi. What a special gift for a special family from a special family. Benji will be riding with you as you bring this gift to your friends. Safe trip, sweet niece. We love you. Aunt Shirley and Uncle David
