Mentioning you always gets the girls to pay attention

I miss you Wohwita.  It's a shame that no one has posted here in so long, and that I have posted hardly anything (or nothing?), so I thought I would post a little bit today.  Sometimes when I see Autumn I am reminded of you.  I occasionally call Autumn "Laura" and Prairie "Lindsey", and it's funny when I catch myself doing it. 

Autumn has your same big, beautiful eyes, and I often find her in quiet reflection, which you did a lot.  Though Prairie isn't as good as you were, she still does some pretty good accents at times (but who could be as good as you at accents?).  I still remember how hard you laughed when Katie, your roommate at college, did her Russian impression of the "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?", and how you made her do it for us after you did your own accent.  And Zephyr is really ticklish under his chin, and I think of you when I tickle him, and of the funny sound you used to make (like you were choking) when we would do it. 

But I also remember how you would wait for someone to yawn and then karate chop them between the lips when their mouth was open widest.  Man, we hated that!

Last night the girls were talking about a theoretical future kid (we hope to have at least one more eventually), and they said how sad it was that you wouldn't get to know them.  We reminded them that you are probably playing with that kid in Heaven right now, and that made them smile. 

Emily has learned to play "The Luckiest" on the piano, but she laments that she has to use sheet music, and talks about how talented you were at playing songs from memory because of how much you practiced. 

We all miss you.  Prairie still gets sad whenever someone mentions your name, but the therapy she had helped a lot, so she doesn't get really sad like she used to.

The other night Prairie got really upset over something and was really mad at me, and I offered her Froggy Butts as an olive branch.  She at first rejected it (she always rejects everything when she is mad), but within a couple of minutes she had calmed down and asked for the blanket.  I knew that something connected to you would help her calm down a lot faster than usual.

Whenver I mention you I can get the girls to calm down or pay attention, especially when I tell them a way in which they remind me of you.  They love that.

We still pray for you and hope you are OK and learning all that you need to learn, and that you feel peace.
Love you,
Ben
