Baby Ben was such a cute little guy – so chubby, and just luscious to hold. He used to sit on my lap while I worked on the computer. When he tired of that, he’d sit next to me with his favorite toys – the little white and brown cow, of course. I think Natalie gave it to him. It was a ‘blankie’ substitute. I would tell him stories and jokes to entertain him. We sang a lot, too. Music was his thing – that, and ‘hanging out’. He was very social – so jolly and sweet. It sounds so cliché, but his smile literally lit up the room – and our hearts, definitely our hearts. I sure loved him - it was such a pleasure to be his grandmother.
