Benjamin Joshua Weiss


Dear Bennyboo-

I am writing this blog about you because of what I saw in you today.  You were born almost ten years ago today, so sweet, so tiny, and yet so full of life.  Daddy and I have nurtured you and tended to your every need since that blessed event on 1-24-99.  

Today, I saw a side of you that is a whisper to me of the kind of man you are going to be, the best kind there is.  We had gone to our favorite sushi restaurant.  Daddy was meeting us there and you and I had left from the house.  As we were talking and walking in, I slid on some ice and wiped out.  You were right there, taking my hand and helping me up.  You asked if I was okay and held the door open for me.  

When we sat down at our table, you ordered the tea I love and placed our sushi order.  I was so impressed with your love, concern and gentleman behavior-all from a rather tall but only still 9 year old boy.  

This, for me, was a glimpse into the future.  It was a reality call for me as well, a report card, if you will.  We have taught you well, dear boy.  Continue on the right path and you will be a great person-actually, you already are.

I love forever,
I love you for always,
As long as I am living,
My baby you'll be...            

A favorite quote of mine.

Mom

This is very heartwarming. This not only reflects on Ben as a caring gentleman, but his parents as well, and the great job they have done!
