This year marked the four-year anniversary of Ben’s death. Mattie remembered Ben with a sweet tribute on social media, writing:
“It’s hard to believe it’s been 4 years since I said goodbye. Today was the picture perfect, early fall day Ben would have hand picked and loved and probably called out of work just to enjoy. It had tears and big smiles and huge praises to the God who hasn’t left my side for a second since Ben went Home to Jesus. More than anything though, I feel overwhelmingly grateful today.”
She went on to list all of the things she is grateful for, including the fact that Connor is so accepting of her past.
Mattie ended her post by writing, “Enjoy that heavenly view of a stunning fall day, Ben Selecman. Til I see you again.”
