I just was talking to a friend about past events and started thinking about Ben. I'm not going to paraphrase what I wrote, just going to dump it here to share with everyone else.

About six to 8 months ago, my little world was flipped upside down and life as I knew it changed. At that point in my life, I was employeed by verizon wireless, had graduated college with my bs in Computer Science and was considering going back for my MBA. I was engaged for about a year, with her for about 4 years. I'd say things were ok, I was comfortable. Then, on St. Patricks Day, my best friend died in a car accident. Within 2 months of him passing, my fiance and I broke up and I quit my job. Honestly, had to be the best thing for me. I guess you'd say that I broke free of the cage that I had built around myself. Now that part that I will never forget... a couple months after this all happened, I was having a very rough week, I was dealing with the ex, dealing with what I was going to with my life, where I was going...and through tough week...my best friend visited me every night and talked with me. Every night that week, I dreamt of him and he helped me pull through. That's the kind of guy he was, even gone he was still able to help me...I guess out of everything that we had been through...I'll never forget that week. Shrug.

There ya go, don't think I've ever really mentioned that to anyone before...
