Celebrating Ben's Birthday - May 29th

6/1/2015

My son drowned in Lake Michigan on June 2013, I celebrated his birthday with him 17 days before he died. He was living in Kenosha WI and that is where he died. I went alone to Kenosha on the 29th and had lunch at the place we last had lunch and then walked to the pier where he died. Hanging out there just remembering the many good times we had together, some ladies walked up and I took a picture of them with the beautiful water behind them, all of a sudden I blurted out the reason I was there. Then I felt badly because they were shaken by my story, they were very sweet and the one woman points toward the man walking toward us which was her husband and told me it was his birthday also. We all hugged and I wished him a happy birthday, it all felt very good and healing ♥

They have now put up a sign on the pier that warns people of the strong currents and no swimming, I hope it can save someone else from a tragic end.

I wanted to drop something into the water that day and decided to drop a clear resin with a feather encased in it. I dropped it in the water, wishing Ben was there but feeling he was near. I watched as it slowly sunk in the water.
Happy Birthday Benjamin!      Love you Forever♥

    I live in the Midwest and have a obsession for re-purposing items in
    crafts. There will be a large variety of things posted on here, if I like them I
    usually list them on Etsy to see if they raise any interest in someone's
    creative eye.
    Many of the items I make for my friends because
    they just don't have the time or craftiness...is that a word?... it should
    be!  So I will post my creations and probably post some of my flops,
    because let's be honest, we crafters have many of those too.
    Drop me a line if you feel the need to say howdy!
