When I think of Ben... from Claire

When I think of Ben, I think of:
  • Tim Tams
  • Multi-coloured speedos from Argentina
  • My protective ‘Big Brother’ that never let me talk to any boys
  • Diet Coke
  • Picking me up and swinging me around
  • My ‘on call’ moral compass when unsure
  • Our Sydney Trip together: I was trying to make him choc chip cookies but only remembered to double some of the ingredients - it was the biggest cooking disaster of my cooking history and he never let me forget it.
  • Great work ethic
  • Backstreet boys and Savage Garden- when he first told me that was his favourite music i thought it was a joke...
  • the way Ben waddled when he walked
  • Ben's quiet but strong walk with God - without being pushy or intrusive, Ben followed his own convictions and encouraged and mentored me through many stages.
My life has been so greatly benefited by his.
