4/13/20 My Dearest Love:
I've always known that you were there by my side, not ahead of me, not behind me but an even partner with me matching my every step. Without your smiles of encouragement knowing that you had my six in every fight I may have laid down long ago. The I love yous your eyes spoke has kept my heart strong for a long time. I remember sitting on the living room couch making out like the two teenagers we were- the pot bellie stone in the corner glowing red, lighting up the room casting our shadows on the wall - I never told you then but that pot bellie stove was burning the bottom of my feet but the feel of holding you in my arms was even hotter burning the impression of your body on me forever. Oh yes I've been meaning to tell you I love you, always have. 17... I have always held you in my arms every night all these many years remembering every kiss every word we did and didn't say. Sweet dreams of all our yesterdays.
I love you always
Forever + Ever
Your Steve

You had signed, as you often do, ‘your Steve’ - when they transcribed, they put ‘your Stone’. So nearly right - but it should have read ‘rock’ - because you’ve always been my rock
You wrote that I’d always had your six - oh love, how could I not? You were always there to stand up for me - no matter what. I was always mouthy - always sorta looking for trouble, in the early days....I remember on 9th street (possibly 10th - lol) I was involved in an argument with someone about something (or nothing) - who apparently thought they would put me in my place. You just kinda strolled up behind me and rested your arm on my shoulder and gave the guy that grin (the one that meant trouble for someone) - and he was done - suddenly had something else to do. We were probably 18 then....
You didn’t know what the problem was (I don’t think I really did either, other than my mouth running away) but it didn’t matter - you were there for me...There was never a time when you weren’t (well, physically sometimes - but always emotionally) - even when we weren’t ‘together’.
When you tell me about the things, places, and times that you remember, it’s like I can close my eyes and relive those moments - those stolen bits of life. I can picture the people - the places - and, with my eyes closed, for those few moments, we are together....
I love you, my heart - I’ve loved you for almost my whole life - never anyone else like you....
Until next time - I am your
