Hi, It's been a long time since I was able to spend the time I want here at CUTE. I'm okay, and although we miss our Benny terribly, we are surviving, and looking for the sunshine in each day. I have been doing a lot for rememberthedeadeyes.com , the website my dad and I do together for his WWII US Army division. He's 90 now and I'm so happy to have him, and Mom still. I really made Dad happy when I made his flag. I used appliqué I digitized for the center symbol on this. He's so pleased, and I am too. He told me this flag "completed" him! Love you all, and I've really missed being here with you. Jan

Jan, you are one of the luckiest girls I know, to still have your precious parents with you.
The flag is amazing and I can see in the picture how special it is to your sweet daddy.
I think of Benny and it always makes me smile.

Jan you are missed. One need only to look at your dads face to see how proud he is of his flag. You are a precious daughter to do this for him/Lillian

I'm glad to see and hear from you. I've missed you. It's wonderful that you have your dad! This really warmed my heart. I spent an extra lot of time thinking about my father yesterday and what I learned from him and how I see him in other family members and your post has added to the happy feeling. Bless you and thank you. I'm happy for you, too! Joan

What a delightful surprise to see you posting this beautiful flag that means so much to your dad. We all miss our Cutie Bennie too. You and Ben taught so many of us how special our Special Needs folks really are in our lives. I don't think you need to look far for sunshine. You are spreading this warmth to so many with all that you do for others. Please keep posting. We can all use a little of your sunshine too.
