My Best Buddy
I couldn't let a day pass without paying special tribute to Benny, my best friend in the world! Yesterday was one of the saddest days of my life, it was the day I said goodbye to my Benjamin, he died from kidney failure. I could tell so many stories of the joy he brought to my life but the bottom line is he loved me unconditionally-through my years as a single girl when it was just he and I-he was my faithful companion and confidant. I will always remember his little face and expressive brown eyes, his never ending patience with my three year old twin boys who came into his world and turned it upside down, and the unconditional, devoted love he gave to me each day of his life. My heart is broken benny, I will miss you and love you always!

Beyond the Rainbow: For Benny
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.
I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort, as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright,
That this place is truly wonderful-- then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.
