I found these two pictures on a camera that Steve borrowed from his school. I didn't know they were there. It was fun to see Benjamin's CUTE, ROSY cheeks again. How I miss those cheeks. What I wouldn't give to kiss them again.
This is where he was when he was off the vent. Always with me. I only put him down long enough to eat a bowl of peanut butter and chocolate icecream.
I knew that these were hiding somewhere in my basement and so I had Stevie dig them out for me. These were made in the ICN when he was a newborn. Hard to believe that we thought we were saying goodbye 8 years ago...We are so grateful for the 8 years that Ben fought to stay on this earth. I know it was not easy, and there was a lot of pain involved. But I know that it was love that kept him thriving and growing. He was loved. He still is...

Such kissable cheeks. The pics truly are treasures.
What a blessing to have found these great treasures! Those cheeks are definitely smoochable!
I love the pic of you eating ice cream.....Ben looks like he is looking towards the bowl and at you and thinking, "Hey, don't forget to save a bite for me!"
Those casts of his foot and hand are precious! I'm so happy that you have this reminder of him and I'm glad that you got to spend 8 wonderful years with your sweet boy! I just wish that it could have lasted even longer for you and your family!
Thinking of you and praying! Love and Hugs!
