10 years

Ten years ago we said goodbye to Ben's dad. We still miss him. There is a hole in our lives that he left that hasn't been filled. When I think of him little by little that place fills with love and remembrance. I am so glad it worked out for us to be here today, visiting Ben's mom, getting to hold her and remember. We took Mallory with us to the cemetery; her first comment was, "park." Yes, sweet darling, I looks like a park. It seemed fitting to be there today to hug each other, hold Deloris, smile with Mallory, and to play "Ring Around the Rose-y."

The Lord gives and He takes away. He gave us this beautiful child and he took from our lives wonderful man we still remember and miss.

That last picture is so sweet. I have a feeling that Papa Jim loved it too.

Awwww…that is precious and pulled at my heart-strings for obvious reasons.
