my friend ...steven mackin
I miss my friend Steven...He emailed me in october to let me know his cancer had come back.I would go to visit him at the hospital...every day he would be that much weaker.He would always greet me with his wonderful smile.He was always positive and upbeat. His last night in the hospital, he was very weak.I held his hand and rubbed it gently.When it was time for me to go ,I leaned over to hug him.He hugged me back so tight and long with a strength I did not know he still had.He hugged me so tightI thought he was going to pull or break something.He kissed me on the cheek and whispered in my ear...Mike I love you so much.I whispered back,I love you Steven, and kissed his cheek.THe hug felt like it would last forever... and it will...Steven I miss you...your friend forever...mike
