I met Steve when he was 19 years old. It was an instant friendship that remained unbroken for the next forty years! He was there for me in some of the lowest, darkest times in my life, as I was for him. We made many memories over those forty years - some are shareable. Others are not.
A common question that I could always expect from Steve when we spoke . . . "Has anyone told you today that they love you?" If my answer was NO, his response was always the same . . . "Good! Because I don't like being second." Then, he would proceed to tell me exactly how much he loved me. His words may have been predictable, but they were also very welcome!
So, now it's my turn to ask you, buddy . . . "Has anyone told you today that they love you?" Let me tell you that I surely do! Rest well my friend!
Forever and always, until we meet again . . . I love you, and I will miss you, until I leave the planet myself!
P.S. Give Ms. Frieda a big HUG for me.
