Gratitude Day #13: The Joy of Benjamin Edition

Nine years ago today a joy blew into my life that had never been there before.


Its name, as it turned out, was Benjamin John.


Joy came in with huge blue eyes that, after soaking up the world for a while,


decided it was a place to smile, laugh and have fun.



Even if that fun sometimes meant trouble. Many times, actually.


Eventually you even grew into those big beautiful eyes, Ben, but the joy you bring is too big to grow into.

So you share it with everyone, people and animals alike.

You've made it your job to have fun and to make sure that everyone else is, too. Your spirit is kind and generous and it laughs a lot.


And I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing it with us.




Happy Birthday, Benner!
