You know how you have good friends in your life and then you have best friends. Best friends to me are friends that you have kept in contact with most of your life, like a brother or a sister.
My friend Ben was one of those friends and we kept in contact all the time.
Ben lived in Minnesota where we knew each other the longest and I have lived in Las Vegas for 7 years now. Ben was one of these types of people that was very strong willed, nothing could bring this guy down. And he was very intelligent.
I haven't visited Minnesota now for almost 4-5 years and it seems like yesterday when I moved away from there to come to Las Vegas. The last time I had talked with Ben he was going to move out to Las Vegas with his wife Deb.
Before I went on my trip to Myanmar (Burma) in May, I kept calling Ben.use totalk about every weekend, but for some reason he wouldn't return my calls. I would leave messages all the time before my trip, I wasn't very happy about him returning my calls. Ithought maybe he was mad at me.
coming home from my visit to South East Asia, I triedcalling Ben several times and nothing. I became very angry anddeleted his phone number out of my cell phone and told myself I wouldn't call him anymore.
One weeklater Ben's wife Deb called me and told me Ben had committed suicide, she found him hanging in the garage. The phone number that I had been calling was his old cellphone number that he had canceled the service on.
Deb had told me two weeks before he passed away that he kept telling her that he was going to call me . The weekend beforeBen passed Deb told me that they were at the lake over the weekend were having a great time.Deb did not see any signs of depression, except that there bills had been piling up and they had been late on their rent. Deb also mentioned that Ben had been laid off from work for four months.
When Deb had called me I could not believe that Ben was gone. Deb mentioned to me that they were soul mates, that she didn't care if they lived in a cardboard box. Deb really loved Ben and it is so sad to have your best friend pass away without saying goodbye!
Ben was only 28 years old, he had his whole life ahead of him and he left his wife Deb, son Daughter for what?
This blog was very hard for me to post, but I am posting it to my family at the Rain.
Ben - This ones for you.
