Steve,
It's been a while since we last spoke, since we last laughed...and we always laughed.
I visit you every year on this morning..no matter where in the world I am..no matter what the weather is...no matter how far I have to travel ..to kneel at your grave under the dark skies..and weep for you, the loss of you..

I know your on that "big beach" in the sky, finally able to "eat the fruit and drink the water" that you could not reach from your place here on earth.

The world is a better place only because you were here...I miss you...still
