Bens Gone
Hey, this is Jake. This morning at about 8:30 at Flint International Airport Ben got on a plane and headed to Salt Lake City and is now on his way to visit my grandparents in Idaho Falls. Kind of a bad day for me considering I havent spent much more than a week or two apart from him for 17 years. My mom didnt even cry that much but i couldnt help my self. In fact no one really cried, just a bunch of sniffles but hes my brother...i wont see him for over 3 years. Today i got my last word or hug with him for over 3 years. I'm still working with it. We went through about ten million drives from lake orion to grand blanc plus more when we lived in sterling heights. It all encompasses my entire high school experience and then some so about 14 years of my life. So many pointless fights and arguments taht never meant anything and in the end i dont even remember any of them. I just remember being with my brother as my parents were divorced when i was 2. I remember sitting next to him in the car all those years, i can remember the vacations, the times when no one else would listen, listening to hours of band talk that i had no clue what he was talking about (right right so this is the second....movement? whats moving), i can remember picking him up from band camp and wondering why the heck he wouldnt wake up on the way home and why he was so tired...only the good things. I'm going to miss him more than anything. But for those of you who cant find the time to write him yourself i think im going to try to keep updating this for him. Sound good? Just with the lastest stuff, when he gets to belgium, things he doing, stuff like that. Alright then.
