We haven't been posting recently because our lives were suddenly turned upside down last week. One of Gwendolyn's cousins, brave little Benjamin, passed away. He was just 3 1/2 years old. We miss him dearly, and continue to send our love to his Mom, Dad, brother and sister.
Mama travelled back east to be with family, and Gwendolyn and Daddy held down the fort here at home. It was the first time Gwendolyn had been without Mama for an extended length of time, and she managed quite well. There was preschool, of course, and swimming lessons, plus an overnight visit to Grandma's place and the addition of a cozy play tent to have fun with at home.
Mama has since returned and we trying to get back to our routines. It's a little harder, though, knowing that Benjamin is no longer here.
A beautiful poem was included in the program for Benjamin's Resurrection Mass. We hope that when you read it, you will think of this wonderful little boy and the love and joy he gave to everyone who knew him during his short time with us.
