Today marks one year since you've been gone. I miss seeing you and hearing that laugh of yours. My heart aches for your beautiful wife, I know she misses you but know that the Lord has his hands upon her and will take care of her. I look forward to seeing you some day.

My Uncle Ben was my mother little baby brother, we crew up together same age and lived around the corner and went to the same schools. We all( cousins) loved seeing and hanging out with Uncle Ben enjoying oldies, just spending time with each other talking or what he like to do is eat LOL. There are just so many great memories of him. He was such a great man growning up as well as a man of God! I heart feels so broken knowing that I won't see him anymore at any family gathering but I know that one day we will see each other which I look forward to. You will forever me in my heart.
