Walks With Benny came about when I realized I needed to figure out a productive and effective way to work through my feelings and the experiences I was having after the loss of our angel Benny on November 16, 2020. I had been trying to find some sort of outlet for my feelings and thoughts, because I could feel them building up inside of me with no sensical way to come out. On the one-week mark from when we buried our angel, I went on a walk by myself and I felt a deep connection with our sweet boy. I absolutely loved my “walk with Benny” and felt like some of the weight I’d been carrying had been lifted. As I walked, I started thinking about recording my thoughts when I got home, because I have always loved writing and feel I can express myself well through words. I then realized this could be the outlet I was looking for because writing is often therapeutic for me. So, this Walks With Benny site is for me. And sometimes for Tom. But I also hope it’s for you. I hope it helps others continue to feel the love of our sweet Benny and the light and goodness of his brief life. I cherish my Walks With Benny and the insights and perspective my angel boy provides me, especially right now, and I hope you are inspired by them, too.
