The last few weeks have been full of so many blessings. Time is such an amazing gift that we tend to squander. I’m so thankful for the last few months the Lord gave me with my dad. It’s the little things Ill never forget, like watching Joyce Meyer Ministries (his fav) with him and how even with post-stroke expressive aphasia, when he said the Lord’s Prayer he didn’t miss a word. The joy and peace I saw in him as he picked out his own urn. Phrases like “that’s straight up” “daggum” and “Father, Son, Holy Spirit”. He talked about the Lord with everyone, didnt matter who they were. Seeing his faith over these last cew very hard months has impacted me in a way I will never forget. God is so good!
Regina King says
There are so many memories running through my mind…from early childhood til now. Precious Precious Memories!!! The last few days with my Bro was hard, but the experience we had watching him go to heaven has proven again the Lord is REAL…I feel blessed I was there to be with him! I’ll always remember Ben telling me in all our conversations the last month or so “Regina just listen…the Lord will talk to you! And yes so will satan, he will try to confuse you, but the Lord will make himself heard!! You just got to listen” these are powerful words I will never forget. Bro is no longer in satan’s grasp…praise you Jesus!!! Bro you’ll always be in my heart and memories! I’ll LOVE you dearly forever….

I wish I had more time, but that wasn’t God’s plan and that’s okay. I’m thankful for what time I did get and for being able to see my mom get the time she always wanted with him. Much love <3

I still can’t believe how quickly this journey was. We, as a family, have crammed so much life into this past month or so since we got the news of the cancer. I am so glad that he was surrounded by family as he stepped into Heaven. His daughter was there thanks to technology and he got to tell all of us bye. We provided a ring of protection around him and assisted his transition in safety because even during that time, Satan was still trying to get him. It still doesn’t seem real. You will be missed. Your faith is something to aspire to… it never wained. I love you, Ben.
