I for one am glad he didn&#39;t &quot;slip on a banana peel.&quot; <br />His sister, Rose About TownRosehttp://gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1753626248793410190.post-26262649565375166312009-06-16T20:26:31.372-07:002009-06-16T20:26:31.372-07:00Some day I hope to meet Brother Ben!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1753626248793410190.post-29448196727554024752009-06-16T20:20:55.051-07:002009-06-16T20:20:55.051-07:00Life IS fragile, Rose. <br /><br />Because I have fully witnessed that fragility, I have siezed the day every day for decades! The worst of days is still a wonderful day(to be in and to be aware of).<br /><br />At a healthy age 65 I often look back and wonder &quot;Why am I still here when much more worthy friends and family are long gone?&quot;<br /><br />When I &quot;slip on that banana peel&quot; I certainly cannot feel cheated in life. I haven&#39;t accomplished any great things myself, but I have a sure feeling that some of those that follow because of my very existence are destined to do good and great things!<br /><br />What more could one ask for?Bennoreply@blogger.com
