Always remembering

Monday, 17 November 2008 20:44

Today would have been the 27th birthday of my youngest brother Ben.  I have had Ben on my mind a lot since he passed away last February. Sometimes I think about him so abruptly due to something I see or hear that it feels like a huge weight pushing down hard on my chest making it hard to breath.  Once I even had to pull the car over on a commute home.  It hasn't been easy.

I'll always wish for more time with my baby brother.  I'll always regret the squandered time I had.  But I'll also treasure many of the memories as well.  Over the years I hope to compile these memories in every way possible.  Some will be written memories.  Others will be pictures we have taken.  And others will be like the following video I managed to dig up.  It was emotionally hard to make this video, and while I cleaned it up some, it is very old (26 years) and I plan to keep working on it as my video editing skills improve.

Overall it was good for me to spend the time on this and I hope you enjoy it as well.

Thank you for posting this.
Ben is forever on my mind. I think of him daily. I am very greatful for the gifts he brought through his life, in our family. I have joy in my heart for the blessing I have been given. As with you Brandon, I have many regrets in lost times with Ben and each one of my kids. I am thankful our Father in heavan allowed me to be a father to so many of his prescious children. I am so very thankful also that my father in heavan has provided me with some very special and comforting moments with Ben since he passed on. I wish each of you could have the same comforting experiences I have.
Ben as moved onto something more. To a place where he can learn, progress, and prepare for more.
I miss you Ben, I love you.
Pa
