In honor of your loving mother, from your friend, Peep.

Peep sends his love to you, Ben, and wants you to know that you are in his prayers.  He loved your wonderful mother, too.  This was his idea, and he put it together himself. 

All of us want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. 

Much love to our friend, GoodBen!

 

Please visit the video on YouTube, here!

 

Thanks to all of you, who would like to leave a message here for GoodBen.

Can you try again in a few minutes? Thanks, dear bitey! We've had a time today with this one...

I know... he cried, too. He is SO upset for GoodBen...

I'll be sure and give him your kind message-- he has gone ice skating, and will, no doubt, come back all bruised and banged up-- but he loves it!

I love you, dear bitey!

It's good that he gets out and has some fun... the past few days have been sheer hell. Can't alter the cause, but we can change the subject for a little while, if only to give our tears a chance to replenish for the next barrage.

My dear friend Peep♥, you reached out to Ben with the most lovely tribute to honor Ben's mother, Sydney. I cried while watching it. You found such awesome photos of animals to place in the song. Loved it very much young man. And, Ben♥... we love you very much dear heart! ((((((Peep&Ben))))))

The Peepers will see all these sweet comments when he gets back from his iceskating treat. He just cried and cried about dear Sydney, and is worried about Ben. This was his own idea, and his own creation. His heart is with Sydney's family, and he wants them to know that.

Thanks Mrs.D. I think trhat Sydney-5 was a good person and should at least get 2 tributes. I hope that GoodBen will be ok and will try to get things to calm down in this hard time.

I don't think I'm all that likeable, I am just a normal human being who cares about everybody...

No, my dear friend, you are not likeable, you are loveable. You are the kind of person we all hope for here and find too seldom. You, and those few like you make up for the loss of such dear friends as Sydney and so many more. I'm sorry, but I have a cat who seems to be demanding all my attention. I must give it to her, she must be obeyed. She's Izzy's cat, how could I do less than obey her every whim.

Smile and laugh, my dear friend; what else can you do at a time like this?

Dear TTGA, you're so sweet! Please kiss that kitty for me-- mine is on my feet. He knows I'm upset, and that I find great comfort in cuddling with him...

Thank you for being my friend.

There They Go Again

If I tried to kiss that cat, she would scratch my eyes out. She's an independent lady herself. I must take care of the cat because Izzy and her brother are off with their other Poppa and Grandma this weekend. They are having much fun since the other Poppa and Grandma are just back from Arizona and have missed them. I, on the other hand, end up taking care of Izzy's cat. Life is not really fair. Bruce and Laurie get hugs from the kids and I get the damned cat.

Dowser - tell Peep he did a great job on the video. All of the little animals that are usually not friends helping each other out just like Peep's message to GoodBen.

I went to YouTube to see it - that's what anyone can do if they can't see it here.

Thanks, Soovie.

I tried to save this to my computer and it didn't work, so I had to get onto my YouTube account from Peep's computer-- we've had a lot of trouble with this... I'm sorry if it isn't readily available on NV.

The account is here, if this helps

    Blessings and peace to you GoodBen. Your mom has touched so many people, deeply. Our love for her is shared with you. I hope you can find some modicum of peace within all of it. None of us know what you are feeling right now, but we can send our thoughts, prayers, and energy to you and your family, and be there if you need to let it out. ((((Ben))))

    Dear Friend Dowser: This is an exemplary use of technology to address the process of moving on after a loss. Thank you for posting this here.

    Thank you for all you are do to celebrate and continue the memory of Sydney-5. For comforting her and your family; and being there for the Vine family who bemoan the very premature loss of a true Woman of Valor, a real lady, and a great Viner we are indebted.

    Peace Blessings And Gratitude, Enoch.
