This is my first born, Benjamin, he died on June 17th. He was 31 years old. A crazy impulsive moment, he decided to jump into Lake Michigan. The Lake had other plans for him, pulling him under in a strong current. For 12 agonizing days we waited until she released her grip of him, so we could have him back and finally have what we thought was a end to this nightmare, but it was only a beginning. Now we spend everyday missing him and trying to live our lives knowing we will never see his smile again. He was not an angel, he drove us all crazy at times, he had a insatiable zest for life and his mind never stopped trying to find a way to get more out of life. He was charming, messy, argumentative, funny, handsome, and had a imagination that never ended, and most of all he was my baby, Benjamin Timothy.
