| Absolute Freedom |
Today, the world feels a little bit sadder. The world has said goodbye to an incredible man.
Ben's spirit has returned to Heaven, leaving his cancer invaded body behind. A body that has held him prisoner for the last two years, and, I'm sure, caused him more than a little frustration.
While I am incredibly sad, and the grief is hard, I am happy for Ben. Happy that he is free of his suffering. I imagine he is running, jumping, taking deep breaths, hugging people, and laughing. All things he hasn't been able to do for quite a while.
I think of his amazing wife, Sara, who sat by his side through so many horrible moments and never wavered. Always a constant caregiver, she is a true example of unconditional and Christlike love. I will forever be grateful for her loving my brother, and for being a wonderful example to everyone around her.
Ben will be missed beyond words. Him passing away leaves an enormous gap in my heart that will never be filled. But I know I will see him again.
God Be With You 'Til We Meet Again.
