Today, is Wednesday, October 22nd, of 2014, my daughter bringing new life into this world, my father struggling for strength. Donald Prescott Benoit. His life filled to overflowing with joys, sadness, hard work, laughter, strength, and wholesomeness! His life has effected people across the world. He has traveled the world through National Geographic, and within his ministry. He is not alone, and we cannot speak of him with out my mother. The kindest, loving people you can meet. Even in this world of dismay, fears trying to grab us every moment, and pain to overcome from heartbreak to broken legs. Who am I the ninth child of 11 children. I am special, as each of my siblings are special, for our parents love and belief in God gave us this strength that comes with an essence no greater than any of you, but they taught us that we can do, be anything, and live with power that keeps us moving constantly towards new things.

My dad and mom are 89, and 90, and have lived completely full lives. They have been to every event for people in their ministries, their friends, acquaintances, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. They pray every night and morning for us all They still do today. Yet, my father is growing tired. He physically is getting weak, and I believe his greatest desire is to know we will all be okay! His family, and all of you. He fights to stay alive as he needs to know we will be okay, today, and every Today forward!

Since those post both my parents gave moved on. My father just a few days after this post. My mother when she was 94. Two beautiful legends! And many did know them. Annette
