I love and miss you Steve.. I am still in shock you are not here.. that I cannot text or call you to say hi, that I cannot check on you any longer, give you a hug, or sit and visit with you. That I cannot hear and experience your inspiring optimism, charm, ,wit and great sense of humor any more and that you always had no matter your pain or problems. I was so blessed to be the lucky girl who got to come see you nearly every day for nearly two years. I didnt just do your dishes and laundry or make you the breakfast you liked (always with your hot sauce); I came to see and support my friend. I watched as you always had something funny to say, enjoyed your Starbucks coffee Id pick out for you, as you committed yourself to round the clock care ensuring your mom received her medicine on time, tried to convince you to organize your room and come out of it more often, to eat better, to give yourself a break over the past, and so much more. You isolated yourself at first, then slowly came out of your cave and began to show me your beautiful heart and amazing personality. You said when your mom was taken care of you would feel free to go so I guess thats what you did, holding on as long as you could. The only comfort I feel is hoping and praying I will see you again in heaven and believing you are no longer in pain and are free and carefree like your family remembers you. I believed you were going to get better so I could take you to the bbq place you liked and a movie without you worrying about running out of air. I feel sick I never got to say goodbye or be there for you during your last moments.
You were very special to me and are in my heart my dear, handsome, and thoughtful friend. Until we meet again...
I pray for comfort for all of your family and friends who know full well your loss and are missing you too.
I love and miss you Steve..
Though our grown up lives were a million miles apart, I'll remember Steve as my healthy and wild young cousin. I'll never forget the time me rolled Grandpa Wright's round water trough down the hill from the old store into the creek. When I remember Steve, it's always those carefree days playing and swimming with him and his brothers and sisters at Grandma and Grandpa's. Hope heaven is like that.
To each of us there is a time for letting go. Steve's time came and his memories and love will exist forever. In the truest since of Steve's unselfishness, I hope each of us will continue to support family and friends with the same kind of love and kindness that Steve showed in his daily life.
