View all 57 ReflectionsRemembering my childhood friend Stephen Taylor on this chilly afternoon. I still cry for the injustice that befell you old friend at the hands of a demon. We enjoyed friendship all through school years and had many fun afternoons riding our bikes and playing ball with different friends. I will always miss you brother. Much Love.
