Benjamin’s older sister, Riley, also honored her brother after his death and also got a tattoo in remembrance of him. “Mornings are the hardest. I forget you’re gone. I can’t cry, because of the fear that I will never stop. A pain that’s new to me. You. There are no words for you. Angel is the closest I could think of. Pure light. Baby brother. Best friend. Wild man. Intellectual. Witness to my life. Twin soul. Protector. Too sensitive for this harsh world,” she writes in the caption of a photo of them on Instagram.
“I hope you give me strength to endure the giant hole you’ve left in my heart. I hope you give me the strength to eat,” she continued. “I hope you’re cradled in love. I hope you feel my love. I hope you feel god. You are god. I can’t believe you’ve left me. Not you sweet Ben Ben. Anyone but you. I guess this is true heartbreak. I hope we meet again.”
May you finally rest in peace, Benjamin.
