To those missing me

Post by ben de lappe »

Please know that I miss you all tremendously as well. It takes a lot to pull me away from my drawings. Since my sons accident on December 16, 2016 my family has been on an arduous journey that I'd wish upon no parent. Caring for a child (23 at the time) that's been so critically injured is demanding mentally, is physically exhausting and emotionally draining however as I'm sure you can understand so filled with love these emotions are suppressed at all cost. Choked down somewhere to never again see the light of day I found drawing to be an outlet for this pain. Focusing intently upon something that I truly enjoy provided a measure of comfort few can understand. Again, please know I've missed it as well as my interactions with all of you around the world. Through my work and this site I have become acquainted with many of you on a level that equates to nothing less than friendship. Dealing with you guys has been nothing but a pleasure so you cannot believe how incredibly hard these words are to type.

After putting up more of a fight than I thought humanly possible my son Jon is finally at peace. He was called home by our Lord and Savior early Wednesday morning and we buried him in a beautiful spot surrounded by family and friends. This is a photo of the strongest man I have ever known. Please pray for us to be just as tough while we continue life without him.
