Ok.

You left something in all of yoursons and son’s son’s son’s son’s son’s etc.

A love of books and learning.

I remember how you lent me your books. I never knew why; we didn’t really speak outside of that. You had in your personal library, books I only dreamed about owning: encylopedias. Legos, Star Wars, Comics, The Simpsons, birds, plants, all science topics, Harry Potter…etc. etc. Etc.

Steve, I remember you. How you quietly observed and read and read and read. In that I found peace, in that I found hope, in that I found true friendship. I just wanted to acknowledge that and say, thank you, for showing me a piece of what love was to me.

Respect.
