i want to have children some time in my life. i want to be a daddy, as scary as that may seem to some of you. i want two little kids (no more) running up to me when i come home from work. that i can play with in my yard on our swingset and go swimming with in our pool. in the fall i'll play in the leaves with them and in the winter we'll build snow

It's official. We have lost him-gone, good bye adios. Lost to the depths or heights, depending on your perspective. Enraptured by the higher power that at one time or another all of us glimpse, it's just that most of us don't pay too much attention to it for fear of diving in headfirst and being swallowed and consumed up to our toes. How can you blame him though, really? It isn't as though he has seen anything like this well... ever, hopefully anyway, prognosis is good, but time is the only true teller of tales. The tales of love, life , loss, learning and of course peanut butter and jelly sandwiches- the kind cut into little sailboat shapes with the crusts removed. Perhaps that pie in the sky does exist, will Ben be the one to see it first and come back to tell us of his adventures? Will we sit, legs crossed, arms akimbo around the campfire as he casts a misty-eyed spell with the enthralling pictures-in-words of a land far far away? Until then we will sit in dark rooms in front of the fuzzy television screen with frozen pizza and six pack of canned beer, curtains drawn but nonetheless waiting for the light to pierce our souls.

i like to consider myself more along the lines of a child who thinks that one day he will fly, as he flaps his arms, sprinting as fast as he can while staring up into the sky of blue... imagination soaring as he thinks he'll be able to fly with the birds and giggling the whole time he does it.

is it probably he will ever fly by flapping his arms... no...

but he is having one hell of a excited blast and roudy good time while he tries.

will i ever acheive that?

probably not... but i'm going to have one hell of an amazingly fun time trying.
