There is an article in this week's LA Weekly about a street kid named Raven. She was found strangled, her body dumped in an alley in the back of a Hollywood mini-mall, wrapped in a cheap bedcover stolen from a one-hour motel not far away. She was fifteen years old. Her alleged murderer, a convicted sex offender who had been out of state prison less then a week, is now on trial in Downtown L.A. criminal court.
No matter how bad chemo is, my life is far better then anything Raven or the others like her will ever experience. I need to remember that compared to most people my life is cupcakes.

What a wonderful spirit you have and just the biggest Heart ever. You Go Guy... I love that you can look beyond yourself and your own pain into the world and feel theirs.
You never stop surprising me and I love you just for that alone.

I can't imagine anyone but you, Ben, who could see the world beyond himself at this particular time.Right now,when your world is narrow and dark, youre able to truly see (S-E-E)that it is larger and lighter than it appears. It takes a magnificent soul and an exceptionally wise heart to do that.
You take my breath away and I love you. Please put an extra shine on that medal of courage that you wear every single day.

You have angels Ben, no matter what, you have angels watching over you.
