The final slide


This photo of Ben stares out at me across the loungeroom and into the kitchen. I wonder what he would be saying and I found this quote today and thought he might agree with it.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but to slide in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ‘Wow . . . What a ride!’
