Memories of A Father to His Son / Mama Sumalinog (mother)
We have a chat on the phone with Papa Benson Sr. last night,one of the topic was our son Benny, Papa Benson was asking about theold dog of Benny the one in the picture Totsie, if it still alive,then he remembered when there were in Savannah,Georgia,2002 they were together for a few weeks in the ship for my husband finished his contract.I could feel the cracking of his voice,they were having a dinner in a little restuarant near the sea owned by an ex captain of the ship Filipino, he has a dog white German Shephed, and no one could even dare to go near the dog,it was only Benny, they were surprised because as if they were an old friends,Papa Benson Sr. said Benny was a lover of Dogs,yes I agreed with because when he was around our dogs would like to play with him,barking and very niosy,Benny was playful fellow, That was the first and last bonding of his father and Son,I know even if they little time they shared it was biggest joy in their life that no one can erased that memories.

TODAY/ Mama~j~benny Sumalinog (mother) I woke early this morning for I have some commitments to do,I ended up almost 2:00pm with a prayer service at cosmo funeral parlor because one of husband member of our community died, a co-member of the Divine Mercy said, there will be a washing of the feet in St.Jude Church around 4pm so we attented the mass,at that time when my son died, Holy WEEk was approaching,recalling the HOLY THURsDAYS same as today, but the date was not the same , I remember my son Benson jr. who at that time, we were waiting for nothing for I was told that I will be receiving information every now and then the whereabout of my son, but I was waiting for nothing,this was the hardest time or very crucial agony I have incountered I could not decide what to do, full of mixed emotion some friends mocking, putting me down calling on a phone giving suggestions that made you hurt,the right word was" CONFUSED" if I going to have a 9days requim mass because the Big 2 WORDS "WHAT IF"was behind on at my back" what if" he cames home?"what if " he is alive,so on and so forth.... when the washing of the feet in the mass I remembered then , about my son death,during my silent agony I asked Him please Lord and also to Benny, give me a sign the truth behind his death, the answeredof my questions was after he was laid of his final day,one week after I dreamt loud and clear that He told me,MAMA i'm ok here but some one shrunk my head in to the water ,until I could not breath and he told MAMA I never commited suicide,and I believe in him,for, Benny knew how I suffered of his loss and A year after his death I dreamt again I saw him a distance in liminous white so radiant, this is just an intervention of him to make me feel at peace,there were many dreams but this was the most revealing incident of him.when holy week comes it recalls the death of BENSON JR.

Dear Mary,
Thank you so much for visiting Jaime's website and lighting a candle and leaving a tribute...such a lovely gesture. I am so sorry for the loss of your precious Son and the numerous losses you have suffered. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, this journey we are on, is not an easy one. To lose a child is the most devastating loss and the pain is unbearable. I just want to let you know, you are not alone. I was glad to see you belong to Precious Memorials...I do not know what I would do without the support I have gotten from this group and so many others. Life will never be the same for us, for we are changed for life without our children. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless With Love, Teri (Jaime's Mom)
