30 Years Ago Today...


30 years ago today an angel was born into our family and we named him Benjamin Stewart Olson. He was born with a rare congenital heart defect, and only lived for 14 days. I have since talked to two other women who gave birth to sons with the same defect, and their boys only lived for hours, not days. Benjamin was a fighter. What a joy it was to have a healthy baby girl born to us one year later, almost to the day. And another great joy to have her name her 2nd son Benjamin.

Benjamin, we love and miss you. You will always be a part of our family throughout the eternities.
