Dear Charlotte and Parker,

Mere words can never convey the depth of emotion and saddnes that overcome this community on the sudden death of your husband, Ben. I never knew him in real life, never sat and had dinner with him, never seen him interacting, other than typed words on a forum, usually about something that's been on his mind.

I really didn't have much in common with Ben. I'm an Arab, a Muslim, and I invested in GM bonds, so that shows that's I'm far from being a finanical genius. I live on the other side of the world in a small island that's mearly a small pimple in a wall-sized map.

But it's the 6th of June and I'm still overcome with emotion. What makes me feel better is the way that total strangers, other than myself, from different backgrounds and nationalities, are feeling the same way. It seems that the whole world grieved for Ben sometimes. And that takes some doing in my opinion. He must have been an extrondinary person to have brought togther this mass of people who loved him and appreciated him in life and in death.

Rest in peace Ben.

I am proud to say that oneday I will get to meet you though. Not in this life but in the next and the next. We will be here for your family and you and I hope you are always with us the same. R.I.P.
