We are blessed to know Ben and to be a part of his life here at MPower, which makes his dad Brandon’s story especially meaningful to us.
There is such an important message here about learning to truly see the people in front of us. When we spend our time comparing someone to who they could have been, should have been, or who we imagined they would be, we can miss the wonderful person who is already right there.
There is so much beauty in learning what brings another person joy, seeing the world through their eyes, and appreciating them for exactly who they are.
Ben reminds us that a meaningful life doesn’t have to look the way we expected it to look. Sometimes we just have to stop looking at what is different and start delighting in what is right in front of us. ❤️
Thank you, Brandon, for sharing your heart and Ben’s story.
