Benjamin Paul Epp Tribute

Another Easter is here and how I miss you.I know that you are with me I found the most the best gift you have ever given me.

I was changing the potted fig tree the one with the pot you stenciled for me oh so long ago as I went to lay the pot down to take out the plant I fond the masking tape you put on it .It was dated June 15 2007 and you put stenciled for my mother with all my love Benn.I cried I was so sad that you are not here and than Nathan said think of it this way grandma you found it could mean Benn is still here with you.What a gift it has faded but that I left it on the pot and put the fig tree you had in it it has grown so much but its a long time since you left us that was the last June you where here.
2008.God how .
I miss you Benn love you for ever and ever and beyond.Mom

My dear son its five years today it was on a Thur as well that you left oh how I miss you I shall never understand why this happened but it did.I just don"t know how one lives with a broken heart you are in my thoughts all the time I shall love you forever and beyond. Mom

Here is another holiday I really feel you loss today but I am going to do what have always done on Easter I am making my deep fried cookies I shall set a few out for you today I know you are not here to eat them but how you loved them
I am making ham like I always do I am hoping Mel and Nathan are going to be able to come over you brother is working tonight so he wont be here and so is Justin.
We really miss you at thses special times but I thank god for all the memories I have of you and the times we shared when we did this together you always help me in the kitchen and to clean up after unlike you brothers and dad disappered as soon as we where done eating ,but it brings a smile on my face to remember our happy times we shared.
So on this day I shall cry just a little for you as I always do but life must go on till we meet again if we ever shall I am feeling like heaven is not really a place it is a made up to make grief more endurable tolerable
Love you forever my Benji I miss you so always you Mother .

I have known your mother for a couple of years now and not a day goes by that she doesn't mention your name and how you filled her heart with love. She has shown me all the wonderful gifts you gave her and made for her. You gave and did so many wonderful things that left beautiful memories behind for her to talk about and show to her friends. She does light a candle everynight for you , I have seen this. Through her eyes I feel I know a little about you and I am sorry that I did not have the chance to meet this wonderful gift.
