Happy birthday to Ben

August 13th, 2006

Last Friday would have been little Ben’s seventh birthday. We were happy to babysit for Ms. Madie on Friday evening while my cousin Dean and his wife Melinda took some time out to have a quiet dinner together to talk and reflect.  And it was great to see folks at a birthday party in Ben’s honor on Saturday. 

I just can’t believe what kind of changes a year brings.  This time last year none of us had any real clue that Ben was sick, and certainly no expectation that he might not be with us today.  The passing of such a wonderful little boy still doesn’t make any sense.  And every time I look at the picture of Ben and his dad we have in our living room I cry.

We miss you Ben.
