I will miss everything about him

Ben was someone very special to me.

I met Ben last fall when we were all doing school from home. He was always the first person to say hello or good morning.

I was lucky enough to be able to live with Ben these past two months and grow our relationship. I have so many memories that I have been thinking about these past couple of days.

The one memory that keeps coming to mind is the conversation he and I had walking to class one day. I remember being down about my skill level on my instrument, and he gave me such kind words. It came from the heart every word he said. Little did he know that I would live by those words the rest of my life.

Ben had such a way with words. He always wanted to make sure that we were doing okay and would do whatever he could to put a smile on our face. I will miss everything about him. I wish I was able to thank him for changing my life for the better. He will never be forgotten.

A funny memory that comes to mind was when he saw a dying plant outside of our house and spent the entire day taking care of it. He brought it inside and did everything he could to save it, and he did just that. Whenever I passed by his room, I always looked to see how it was doing.

Ben will always be a part of my life, I wish I could go back and tell him how much he was loved and how much he meant to me.

Ben, I am so sorry this had to happen. I wish we could go back and tell you everything would be okay. You were like a brother to me and my heart breaks knowing you aren’t there.

I love you and I hope that you are watching over us.

Love,

Josie
