Selfless acts

I have been so blessed and grateful to have known and developed a friendship with Ben. Seeing him every day truly brought a smile to my face.

Getting to know Ben last school year and especially this semester has given me many memories to cherish and hold onto.

Something I really loved this semester was walking downstairs and turning my head just to see Ben laying in his bed with the door open - whether we greeted each other with a smile or said hello, it brightened my day. This is something I already truly miss.

Ben really was the kindest, compassionate and warmest person I have met. He is someone that stuck out to people in the best way. I have many more memories that I could go on and on about, but this one, in particular, brought me much joy even if I didn’t always say it.

Ben is missed and will forever be missed. He is someone I will never forget.

To Ben: Thank you for being you. Thank you for brightening up our lives. We all love and miss you more than words can describe. I am so blessed to have had you in my life.

P.S. I will never forget the day you took the time to watch tutorials that helped you get my earring out of my ear, all because I couldn’t do it myself. That just proves how selfless you are. This is just one of the many selfless acts that you did, no matter how big or how small they were, you’ve touched many people.

Love,
Hailey Riccardo
