Lily’s Pad

What a great Christmas memory this will always be….

Usually all my posts are about Lily…. But, unfortunately with incredible sadness, I found out last Sunday that Ben, my son Dustin’s best friend had taken his life….  Broken is such a soft word to say how hard this has hit us all….  Our life will never be the same without Ben in it!

Today was the funeral and Dustin and his two friend’s were Pallbears - talk about a moment that will tear any mom’s heart apart watching her son and his two friends carrying Ben’s casket in.  No words can express how heart wrenching that was!  But, Dustin held so strong - read what he wrote about Ben at the cemetary and had lots of us smiling and laughing!!!!!  Dustin was the rock of Gibralter yesterday and today!  There are so many moments about Ben that I remember, but mostly of all we all loved Ben!  I have so much more to say and am hoping to blog about it this weekend.  Just keep Ben’s family in your heart and prayers!  And hold Dustin up high to the Lord.  Ben would have been so amazed by the outpouring of love for him!  still so very tough!  HE deserved so very much!!!!!
