Four years ago today was my dad's funeral. It was also four years ago that I conceived Noah. One door sadly closed, another happily opened. While my dad is not here physically, I still feel his presence. I still think of the random silly things he would say. I still think to go to him for comfort, for a hug. I still have vivid memories of him. I don't think losing someone so close ever gets any easier as the years go by, you just get busier and have to attend to life.
I still wish I could have seen my boys interact with my dad. They would have loved him! He was such a fun grandpa to the grandkids! I like to believe that Everett was spending a lot of time with him before he came to us. I take comfort in the fact that I believe that one day I will get to see my dad interact with them. I look forward to that day.
Love and miss you, Dad!

About Us
- Bensons
- We are a blessed, busy, happy family!! Stephen and I were married in 2004, and started our family in 2007 when we welcomed our first little one into our lives, and we are still growing, with now a total of three amazing little ones! We like to spend time together as a family, and with our extended family and friends as well! I started this blog to keep a record of all our memories, and to keep our family members and friends up-to-date (well to try to anyway HaHa)! It's also a place for my random thoughts and rambling!

I am SURE your kids know your dad! I agree getting to see our loved ones is going to be awesome! I am always touched by your thoughts when you talk about your dad. He is probably tickled pink with having you as a daughter. You are amazing Kris! Always thinking of others, taking time to enjoy life, and seeing things with a positive attitude. Something we could all use a little more of!
Julane you are so sweet! Thank you for your kind words! Love you!
