Hi Tom,
Wow....thank you for your very inspiring and thoughtful words and insights! I keep re-reading your comment ... it has its own kind of poetry!
My intent in writing it was to honor Benjamin, and since i couldn't speak to his personality or so many unknown traits, I could only focus on my experience of him.
I got it down on paper, NEVER expecting that it would find music because of its personal nature.
When Ricki contacted me, my jaw quite literally dropped.
I thought Ricki was so brave to do the editing she had to do to make it sing.
And, from my perspective, she got every word perfect.
She boiled it down to its essence.
Thanks so much for returning with your lovely thoughts!
Lisa

"Sometimes reaching a goal earlier than planned is a great achievement. It shows you have worked hard, pushed ahead and made it happen. However, sometimes reaching a goal far past your original deadline, long after you wanted to complete it, and after the accolades you might once have gotten for the achievement are over, it is an even greater achievement. This shows you never gave up, due to adversity, deficit, criticism and those little life detours that end many dreams and goals. In many ways, this is a reason for even more pride!" -Brian Austin Whitney
