"The Show Goes On"

About 3 weeks ago, my 14th year old cousin, Ben was in a horrible accident. He was in school and was choked by one of his friends, causing him to have a seizure, drop to the ground, and break his skull.

Hours after being admitted to the hospital, they were draining his brain of blood and told everyone that it doesn't look promising for him. My Dad rushed up to Buffalo to be with them. But, as days went by, he was awake, then he was trying to speak to my Dad, but words couldn't be made out. But as the day went on, he was able to speak...then he was walking!

Now he has 2 metal plates in his skull, and is getting better and better each day.

The song, "The Show Goes On" by Lupe Fiasco reminds me of him.

"All right, already
The show goes on
All night 'til the morning
We dream so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun go
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on..."

You're a fighter, Ben!
