A year ago today the world lost a pretty funny guy and my dear friend Steve...but heaven gained a warrior. Over this past year there hasn't been a day that I don't think about him or something reminds me of him. I caught myself laughing over the weekend because I was searching for a picture for one of my blogs, looking for a box of chocolate...and the movie Forest Gump came up. That was one of the popular movies when we where growing up and Steve knew every line to the movie. He had such a way to make people laugh and forget about all the "worries" of the moment. Steve had a heart of gold and he was one of the few people that I knew that when he asked how you where doing he really meant it. Steve really wanted to know how you where...the good, the bad and the ugly. Steve took the time to understand any situation and give the best advise...if he didn't know then he'd let you know and just say "we're going to pray."
I miss him; he was my buddy who I called daily to talk about life, what was going on and how to get through the most trivial things at that time. I miss him, he had such a way to make me laugh or send me an email at just the right time. Steve always knew when I just needed a word of encouragement or something to make me laugh...though I'd have to say many times he never knew his timing was perfect.
So much has happened over this past year that I didn't get a chance to share with Steve, but I thought about him often and what he'd say if I could have told him.
I have so much to thank him for...because of the tragedy of today he changed my life for the best. Steve gave me a wake up call, Steve shook me up, he awakened me to realize about my own life and to him I am forever grateful.
Not a day will continue to go by that I don't think about him, the memories that we made, the conversations that we had and the friendship that we shared. I miss you Steve.
