It was such a shock to read about Ben this morning! It hit me hard, even tho we didn't get along, didn't see eye to eye, i still feel like a family member has passed away. Get tears every time i'm thinking about his finally getting his Casita, getting it ready to go. Yes, i still read his blogs every day, even tho i was blocked from making any comments.
Maybe when this shock gets better,,, i can see that he went the way i want to. Like MY Dad.
His Aunt in NM helped me with my Indian ancestry, gave me ways to go back and try to find the connections i needed. She is an amazing woman, sharp as a tack too.
I'm getting tears too, when i think about his 2 rug rats. How lost they must be. My Jude is about the same age as i am, in his cat years, and the thot of going before he does, just is not good.
I regret not knowing he went to the hospital, so i could have had him in my prayers. I never went back to any blogs after yesterday morning, so i missed it. The last i had seen was his friend from Austin was coming.
This is my tribute too, to a member of our blogging family. Amazing how close we are.
Yall tc, and,,this is hard to say right now, but
HAGD
I feel the same way you do. I have been crying since I found out this morning of his passing. I too feel like I have lost a family member.
ReplyDeleteYOU go find out about those leg cramps! You were in my thots as soon as i read about Ben.
DeleteI don't know who you're talking about, but I've always wished my husband knew how to use my blog...IF anything happens to me. So, I figured "go to who you trust' and it was a fellow blogger. She has all my passwords and I KNOW she trusts me equally. Blog CAN be family. Some can turn into the worst of family too, but that's rare.
ReplyDeleteI was reading his blogs before i had one myself. And your right, i have my niece here on my blog, i need to tell her to pass the word along if and when something happens to me. She could just post it as a comment without having to log in.
DeleteDone,,sent her an email.
DeleteWell, let me put it this way. I found out my tear ducts still work.
ReplyDeleteI know what u mean. Now,, WHERE IS BB????
DeleteReally a sad day.
I was not aware of Ben's passing until today when I read this. It is a shock when something like this happens so suddenly. He is now back with Ann.

It was like,,,the first thing i read!! i was so shocked. So hard to believe.
DeleteWhat happened? You're all talking like everybody knows what happened to Ben? Was an announcement made somewhere? This is frustrating. I liked Ben and was in communication with him about his Casita. Please help me accept this news by telling me what the heck happened. Thank you.
ReplyDelete"It was such a shock to read about Ben this morning." Where did you read about Ben?
ReplyDeleteNever mind. I found the announcement on another blog. Sorry if I sounded testy. The news is so upsetting.
ReplyDeleteIt was on his own blog, in the commennts.
