Wonderful piece and spot on. We all need more giving and less taking, as your experience shows. Thank you, Ben.

Ben, BIG thank you for sharing your inspiring journey. I’m warmed to know that your family is currently in the arms of a caring community. Your story inspired gratitude for all the good in my family’s life and reminded me, that in our current era, there is more that unifies rather than divides us. Again thanks!

I love this so much! It's actually my theme for 2026: Homecoming & Belonging. Professionally speaking, this is why niches will be the future. You're surrounded by people who geek out on the same things. Legacy/mainstream media will never achieve that sense of belonging.
