It's been one of those 'if only' days today Benjamin. Nothing makes sense to me today, not that I have made sense of all of this but at least most days I've come to accept the way things are. I miss you, your laugh, your smile, that way you used to call me Baby, just miss everything and I miss what would have been.
Love you forever Baby

I wonder if you know how much the girls and I still miss you. Anne Mc was right. It doesn't get any easier. The days seem a little bit longer and for sure less exciting knowing that you are not here.....

My beloved Benjamin, your day came and went and I tried not to let it define my day but even though it was the second we had to endure without you it felt even worse than the first. It made it real that you were gone from me and all of us forever...I just miss you so much Baby.
I hope you can feel the love that remains down here because it is never ending and oh so strong.
I love you Baby

"With these hands I give you my heart and I crown it with my love."
There are things that will never end or change; like the sun rising and falling each day, like the hands on the clock ticking forward, the pages on the calendar turning, like the water running in the crick and that I will love you until the end of time Benjamin. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

Grief is a solitary journey. No one but you knows how great the hurt is. No one but you can know the gaping hole left in your life when someone you know has died.
And no one but you can mourn the silence that was once filled with laughter and song.
It is the nature of love and death to touch every person in a totally unique way.

I have only slipped away to the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
that, we still are. ?
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. ?
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect.
Without the trace of a shadow on it. ?
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight? ?
I am but waiting for you.
For an interval.
Somewhere. Very near.
Just around the corner. ?
All is well. ???

Miss you so very much everyday Baby. Waiting for the so called 'gentle' time to begin but it still seems an eternity away.

Missing You So Much.....
September 20, 2011
To My Beloved
You had a talent for bringing special meaning to life,
It was such a pleasure to be your wife.
You helped me to grow and to realize
The fullness and the beauty in our lives.
Every day I counted my blessings.
Then God called, and you went away
Out of this world to a brighter day.
Suddenly my life of gladness
Turned to utter sadness.
My grief wears me down, I shed so many tears,
As I recall your love and devotion through the years.
For your sake and in memory of your name,
I pray for strength to do things the same.
To reach out, to fill the hours with useful ways,
To comfort, to cheer and have no more empty days.
I try to console myself -- it was God's greater plan,
So I must accept it, if I can.
You moved away to His splendid home above,
If there is life after death,
I know you will be waiting there for me,
With love.
Though Heaven and Earth divide us, and the distance is so great,
I count my blessings for the years you were my mate.
I will live my life remembering, while you wait, slumbering.
My beloved, may you rest in peace.
Author Celia Wenig
-----------------------------------
The days continue to come and go but my heart remains broken without you Baby.
We all miss you so much it's hard to even put into words as words do not do justice to the longing to hear your voice, see your smile, to hear your laugh and feel your touch.
I love you Benjamin now and forever.

I Love You.....
June 30, 2011
For You
There are times when I begin to feel
overwhelmed by your absence
and
Missing you becomes so intense
events seem to pause in time…
so much so
I’ve even voiced my frustration
as though you could hear me…
then
Almost immediately, I’ve been sorry…
fearing that perhaps you did.
Gently,
I slowly start to understand, once more,
the role I’ve been chosen to perform.
~~~
I’ve tried to picture you in my place,
left alone — to carry on without me…
and
I can’t begin to imagine
how you’d pick up all the pieces.
I wonder
…how you could begin your days
without sharing our coffee and the morning paper.
…how you could fix your meals
and eat them here in silence.
…how you could come home in the evenings
and stay in our empty house.
But…
Unlike others who cry, “Why couldn’t it have been me!”
I’m glad I’m your survivor…
because,
I love you enough that I will bear this grief for you
rather than have you weep for me.
~~~
When I begin to feel overwhelmed by your absence,
I regain my presence by repeating…
I will do this for you.
I WILL DO THIS for you.
I will do this, — FOR YOU.
******************************
Another hour, another day, another weekend without you and it remains the same, I miss you so much Baby.

How to get through
Knowing there's no you
Wish it wasn't so
And that you never had to go
You lived your life your way
Said what you wanted to say
To know you was to love you
There was no in between
Now we're always thinking of you
And wondering what it mean's?
One day we'll find that better place
And see that smile upon your face
But until then while we are here
We hold tight to the memories and let go of the fear.

A Weekend To Remember, Wasaga 2009
June 6, 2011
"When a star 'dies' in the heavens, its light continues to shine for thousands of years. The light of your beloved one continues to shine brightly. It shines through you, around you, and from within you. Fill yourself with this light and watch it continue to impact the world."
By Transcending Loss: Understanding the lifelong impact of grief.
My Man never really knew how much of an impact he left on everyone he met, or how deep his not being here would affect those around him both from the past and the present. I would do or give anything to be able to tell him one more time how much I love him and how very lucky I always felt to be his Woman. God blessed me with Benjamin Jude Booth, he also called him home long before I was ready to let him go.

Hi Uncle Ben,
I was thinking about you today. Happy Birthday. Everyone misses you. We had a big party on Sunday and I know you would have loved it. I know that you are up in heaven celebrating your birthday in the same way we did. You should see the dogs running through the house when their wet from being out in the rain.
I love you. Happy Birthday!

Hello Ben,
It's said there are two types of people....those who are Irish and those who wish they were. Tomorrow those people who wish they were get to pretend they are. I hope you laugh at all the antics. I know you would be up to some of your own.
You are missed so much by so many and especially tomorrow.
Make us laugh again for old times sake so that no one sees our tears.

Prayer of Remembrance:
In the rising of the sun and in its going down,
we remember them.
In the glowing of the wind and in the chill of winter;
In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring;
In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer;
In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn;
In the beginning of the year and when it ends;
When we are weary and in the need of strength;
When we are lost and sick at heart;
When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember them.
So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.

Blue Christmas Service 2010
December 26, 2010
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven’s stars, reflecting on the snow
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can’t compare
with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart
But I am not so far away, we really aren’t apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear.
And be glad I’m spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do
For I can’t count the blessing or love he has for each of you
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear
Remember, I am spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

A Lunar Eclipse

Hey Baby,
Katrina and I visited Mom and Pop this past weekend.....you were missed so much. There were so many "moments" that would have made you laugh that belly laugh of yours....I know you know what I mean. Katrina couldn't help but laugh and I could see you in her everytime...she would have made you very proud.
I miss you and our love story so much and it's so hard here without you....I need your help Baby, I really do.
I will be your 'woman' for the rest of my days.

Hi Ben,
I've been spending a lot of time at your home with Sandy and Katrina. Hope it's o.k. that the dogs are digging a pit under the deck and that one of them sleeps on the guest bed or the couch. Other than that, we miss you more than words could ever say. Wish you were still with us telling us that we talk way too much! The silence where you used to make us laugh is too quiet and the breaths we take are too loud! How shall we ever be the same? I know we can't. You will be forever remembered and prayed for daily.
See you again, one day.

Father oh father
Hear me if you can
Is it true what they say
That life is a dream
I don’t understand
The things that make rain in my eyes
Are they real or are they lies
You know I hear so much about you now
I’d give anything
To go on a little boat with you
Talk about the scheme of things
On a little boat with you
Father oh father
Guide me if you can
Or give me the chance to follow you home
You know I’d give so much to see you now
I’d go anywhere
Pick a little stick and walk with you
Talk about the scheme of things
On a short walk with you
Father oh father
You give me just a little hope
I feel something out there reaching for me
Well here I am
I’ll do anything
To sit on a little rock with you
Talk about the scheme of things
On a small rock with you
Show me show me show me the way
Before they grind me down
And bleach me grey
Send me power not to be afraid
And when I close my eyes
Let me see you once in the light
Father oh father
Heal me if you can
Is it true what they say
That life is a dream
love you always,
rara

I had the chance to meet Ben at a few family gatherings. I found him to be very sociable and easy to like. Although I didn't know him well, I did know he made my Aunt Sandy very happy and he loved and cared about her and her family.
My thoughts and best wishes have definatly been with Ben's family and of course my Aunt Sandy during this time.

Glen and I are so glad to have met Ben and have been able to get to know him. We always looked forward to the next time we could all get together again and have some laughs. I loved seeing how happy Ben and Aunty Sandy were together - nothing brings more happiness to life than the person you were meant to be with. I think it is safe to say that he was definitely part of our family.

Ben- I hate that you have the last word. For thirty years we verbally abused each other but shared alot of laughter and tears. Okay, maybe the tears were just on my side. I can't believe there will be no more 1:00 am phone calls and that you aren't going to saunter in and say 'gotcha'. When the neighbours can't find their tools or the steak in the fridge disappeared- they will think of you. I miss you.
Love forever, Martha
