Happy Birthday Benny

Today would have marked 28 years for my little brother Ben (Benny to me).  I still think about him all the time – most often when I am sitting in traffic reflecting on much of my day/life.

I’ve recently been rummaging through old video tapes and working to get them converted to digital (DVD) format (before the passing of time destroys them entirely).  It’s been fun to get a glimpse of Benny here and there and I hope to compile  a video of the best content to share with everyone.  Eventually.

Benny's personality made him unforgettable, I find myself thinking about him randomly too.....it will be nice to see some videos of him.  It makes me smile just thinking about him, what a fun little (until he got bigger than even me) cousin!

A few random things that always remind me of Benny.

Fishing
Random laughs that have a hint of Benny's unique laugh mixed in.
Long talks all night long staring at the stars......usually Benny doing most of the talking, everybody else the laughing.
Any friend that makes you feel like they'd give you the shirt off their back and drop whatever they are doing to help you reminds me of Benny.
Fishing.
And did I mention fishing?

I'm glad I was blessed to know him, sometimes I feel bad because he was the younger cousin and I was the grumpy older cousin...I hope he knows how much I enjoyed being around him!

Benny left a larger footprint than he ever realized!
