12 Days of Memories-Day 2

Every day that I’m at the shop, I’m reminded of our little guy. Benny was a tinkerer and wanted to be in the cars and around the cars. He once went into our office and grabbed a random set of keys and asked to go into one of the cars, where he tried said keys in the ignition. Clearly it didn’t work, but we were taken aback by this one year old child who understood how to start a vehicle.

He was always listening. Even when you thought he wasn’t paying attention, he was. It blew me away. He picked up on everything. He also had a big sister he was always trying to keep up with. I miss watching his little brain process things.

  1. Sheri, I remember on of our visits to you, and the the shop. I remember how he loved the cars and standing in them.
    He was a special little boy and we all miss him! I remember too a couple of times he feel asleep for a short time on my lap. He felt so good! I am glad you have lots of photos of him an memories! Love, Aunt Dorothy
