Sunday was our annual hike up Seneca Rocks in memory of my cousin Ben<\/a>. Ben died in 2012, and every year since then we’ve hiked up Seneca Rocks on his birthday. And since we’re doing it in memory of Ben, we have to go all the way to the top without stopping. <\/p>\n

I was chatting with Tania the night before, and she asked if I was still mad at Ben. I said much less than I had been.<\/p>\n

I changed my mind about 2\/3rds of the way up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m not as mad at him as I used to be (once I catch my breath, that is) but it’s still hard for me to accept. And it most likely always will be.<\/p>\n

Although there was rain throughout the day, it held off for our hike, as well as while we were enjoying the view.<\/p>\n
