Ben was the oldest of five boys.
He was often with one, two, three or even four of his brothers.
These five brothers, growing up together fought, shared, competed, respected, and sometimes, tired of each other.
They had their ups and downs, but they shared lived experiences which united them and gave them an understanding of each other.
Ben was the oldest of five boys and always will be.
"You don’t even realise you’re living in a before until you wake up one day and find yourself in an after." (Robin Wasserman, The Book of Blood and Shadow)
