27

That's how old I'll be this month.

Does that mean that Ben is now only 3 years older than me, instead on 4??
My emotions are mixed.

The day will soon come when I realize that I have been here longer than he got to be. It is all so unjust.

Ben often expressed how excited he was to grow old with me. He wanted nothing more than to watch our girls grow up, and become a grandfather. When Jocee would play with her dolls Ben would always smile and talk about how lucky our grandbabies were going to be; to have such a good little mama.

I never once heard him complain or lament a birthday. He wanted to be here for the girls he loved most.
