Our son, Benny,
was the sweetest, happiest little boy—
with a joy that filled every room.
He loved being outside, riding his tractor, playing in the mud,
and learning dinosaur names.
He was also a little brother—
and Addy’s best friend.
They were partners in everything…
running around, getting into trouble,
laughing over things only they understood.
She loved him deeply,
and he adored her right back.
In March 2025, we lost him suddenly to norovirus.
He was three years old.
Everything changed.
I’m still learning how to live with it—
some days heavy, some far away.
And some… where the love rises just enough to breathe.
Because the love didn’t go away.
It just changed shape.
The Hold Space Project was created because of him—
a quiet space for the hard days,
for the love that stays,
for the things we carry.
This isn’t just a shop.
It’s something to hold onto.
This space is for him—
and for anyone who needs it.
