Today was a day full of sadness for my family. My grandfather, Major General Calvert Benedict, passed away this morning. He was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend. We love him so dearly and will miss him so much. Please pray for my family and for my grandmother during this very sad time. However, it is also a time to celebrate his life. What a wonderful life he had and we are all so blessed to have had so many wonderful years and memories with our G-dad. We love you G-dad and miss you very much!
Here is an old picture, but I thought it would nice to remember him at his best! I will treasure this picture forever. My children are so lucky that they were able to know their Great Grandfather!!
And, what better to bring a smile to my face when I need it the most... my sweet little Blakie!

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss. He looks so happy in that picture. What a memory to cherish. May he rest in peace. I'm praying! My son calls my father-in-law "G-dad."
