"Ben I miss having you around."
D of Jalalabad, Afghanistan.

"I still miss him more than words can describe. There is still not a day that goes by that I do not think of him and cherish his friendship. People tell me that I need to get over it and move on but how do you do that? I lost a part of me! I tell people it is not like losing a family member. I chose for Benji to be in my life for all those years. There was nothing that Benji didn't know about me...good and bad. He was my "brother from another mother!" I love you Benji and you will be with me always."
Sandy of formerly of Newnan back in Salem, MA!
