Irrepressible!

Out of focus but not out of mind.

Four years today...

Such a short time. Thank God for Ben's life!

So, I had a dream last night....we were celebrating and reflecting on Ben's death (as appropriate for yesterday!). We were watching videos of him, which actually don't exitst, so it was a lovely invention of my memory! I also came up with another explanation for CSB - Cancer Stole Ben. So, it's not exactly true, as he was called home, but sometimes it does feel that way. We will continue to remember and miss him - particulary at times like this.

We were talking about the origin of this photo of Ben jumping the bottles the other night. Those discussing the origin not only had their own memory of when and where but for me (who doesn't) it just sums Ben up for me... two bottles not one, muscles all straining, full focus and intent (head down but raising the bike) singlet (my boys started wearing singlets when they saw their cool older cousins wearing singlets) and making the jump...jumping into the Kiewa River at Chrissy, riding the motorbikes, doing burnouts on the dirt roads near our place, swimming across the Murray River...filling life/living life. Four years, a blink...
