Could it Really Be....

July 17, 2008 seemed like any other day of the year, to so many in this world. Many can't remember what they were doing on this day a year ago. Yet to some they know just what they were doing on this day... For this is the day their entire world stopped and than was forever changed... Ben Lenzen was taken from this world much much too soon but his memory and legacy live forever on in those who knew him and those who loved him. He is not forgotten.

Its hard to believe its been a year...when for his family and close friends time seems to have stood still. Its hard to believe its been so long since they have heard his laugh seen his smile and felt his presence. Its hard to believe... that this world no longer has Ben in it. Its hard to believe we have carried on without you. That life has gone on without you in it.

But only because of you, Ben your Becky, your parents, your brothers, your sister, your grandparents, your family, your best mate, your friends have been able to smile again, laugh again, and live...only because of you! For they know in order to see you again life must go on. They know the only true way of honoring you and keeping your legacy alive is for them to live this life to the fullest. For they know how upset you would be if they didn't. Just as you know how hard it is for them at times.

I pray Ben you hold them close to you, that they may feel your love and presence. I pray they are granted peace. I pray they are blessed with memories they have long ago forgotten. I pray that thru you may you guide them out of darkness and into the light. Know you are missed by many Ben and never forgotten. Rest well and enjoy YOUR paradise Ben!
