The Lord is merciful and sees our suffering. He prepares mansions for our homecoming. Ben has witnessed just the “beginnings” of the beauty of Heaven! He is HOME. The Angels were there to usher him in. How glorious will be the day… when we all unite with our lost loved ones. Never again, to say “goodbye”. May God comfort all.
