This is crazy, I feel like you're my sister, Ben is my nephew, and we've never even met. But does it matter? <br /><br />I'm thankful to know you!<br />Love, BreeBugg's mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10930792338350848810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035811869275818194.post-12316767913870483222010-06-08T01:17:58.144-04:002010-06-08T01:17:58.144-04:00That is beautiful, Becky....it expresses the love ...That is beautiful, Becky....it expresses the love of a family....i just keep thinking about him, about you, about your family....we will be thinking of you on Friday, celebrating his 8 years of love that he had to share with everyone....even those of us who never had a chance to meet him face to face....he has touched many....xoxoxoKeriLyn and Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01963005475394912021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035811869275818194.post-29598281284056741942010-06-07T22:48:40.498-04:002010-06-07T22:48:40.498-04:00So Lovely Becky!

He will be 9 in a couple of weeks. We live in Tasmania, Australia and are LDS also. <br />I'm so sorry to hear about your beautiful son Ben passing away. I'm blown away with how much he looks like Noah. We have a blog if you want to check it out. There are photos of Noah on there. <br />You are in our prayers at this sad time. I'm glad that you know where he is right now and that you will see him again.The Kingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086956817658615731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035811869275818194.post-558875064953084232010-06-07T00:18:17.565-04:002010-06-07T00:18:17.565-04:00How do you write an obituary for your child?

I can't imagine how hard that must have been. I am literally crying just thinking about it. My husband came in the room even to see what was wrong. I have told him about Ben, had showed him your pictures, and he knew we were going to see you in Arizona. When I told him about Ben's passing last weekend, he broke into tears as well. Life is so fragile with our little ones ... it's just incredible.<br /><br />I wish we lived near you and could come to Ben's celebration on Friday. You will be in my thoughts for sure!ANewKindOfPerfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978293330074662766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035811869275818194.post-47496335863247620232010-06-07T00:08:43.398-04:002010-06-07T00:08:43.398-04:00I hope today went well!
