Goodbye Mr Stevens....

I knew this morning.. something felt different. For months now, I have watched as my friend Audrey's dad has gone through chemo and stage 3 cancer. Working in a cancer center, I know all this well. I watch everyday as our patients come in, get thier chemo, and go home to battle thier cancer. Ed's cancer was completely gone 2 months ago... the doctors couldn't explain it. No one could explain it. And then 4 weeks ago.. it came back a vengence.

I have been texting Audrey every so often... just to see how she was holding up and how Ed was. This morning was like any other morning... I text her on the way to work. NOTHING!!! SO I thought no big deal, I bet she is working. Well, Audrey and I have a relationship where no matter what is going on in our lives.... if we are thinking about the other one its because something is going on.

I got her call about 2, that her daddy had passed away. Mr Stevens was a wonderful man. He took care of his four girls when he and thier mom got divorced. He was a loving father. He always came to all our ballgames.... everything he was there. He even grounded me one time and I wasnt even his kid! Well, Audrey and I had gone teepee'ng... and had gotten ourselves into trouble...lol

Anyhow, I just wanted to share why today was so different!

RIP Ed!

You will be greatly missed!
