I thought you'd like to see this

Click on the title above. This is a story about a fellow that was dying of terminal cancer, but decided to go see the Redwoods instead of going through more medical procedures. Sound familiar? I like the perspective of this article. It makes me more appreciate the the way Ben made his decisions before he left us.

Ben was able to see and do what he most wanted to. I have been so glad that we took that last trip. I still feel I could have done more but I can't think of what it might have been. I still feel him here and surprisingly to me, I still live my life like he is. He was able to say his goodbyes and talk to the one person that he always felt had hurt him the most. I am glad he is out of pain but I sure miss him.

Yeah Illa, the bible says when your married to someone, you become 'one flesh'. "Ben and Illa" just rolls off the tongue like the words are suppose to be together. When I think of Ben, I think of you. No way to get around it. But the truth is, marriage is designed to be a foreshadow and example of better things to come when we get to the other side. The important thing now, is to get there, so we can enjoy that unity again. love ya

Thanks for posting this. I don't have anything else to say. I look out the window and expect to see dad fiddling with something.
