Steve's last lesson. (my youngest son's death)

[renate]

79. that was a beautiful tribute to him--I watched every minute and feel as though I know him...

... and love him too. What an incredibly full life he had! He wrung every last drop out of the time he got that he could. So many trips to all kinds of places--he really saw the entire world! (Although I didn't see a picture of either the North or South Pole... I'm sure he would have gotten to them eventually.) There must be hundreds of people who genuinely feel as though they lost their best friend--it was so striking how many friends there were in all of those pictures.

He had so much more living to do, which makes his way-too-early death so tragic. But he got so much out of his time here on earth.

He loved and was so loved by so many. His life was so short but it was so good.

I am so sorry for your loss, and so glad that his life was extraordinarily bright and brilliant while he was here.
