For My Friend Steve

It has been a few days since I posted and it has been an emotional few days. Last week I received the very sad news that my friend and ex-colleague Steve passed away after his inspirational 5 year battle against cancer.

Steve always treated his cancer with the respectful contempt that it deserved, he carried on living his life to the absolute maximum, determined that it would never get the better of him. There were a great number of people who never knew the battles that he fought on a daily basis; and that was Steve all over - life was always for the living, not for anthing else.

I am proud to have called Steve a friend and I will always be grateful for the advice, friendship and experience he gave me; I will always be grateful for the difference that he made to my life and the up-front and brutally honest counsel he gave me. I will always miss him.

Sleep safe and peacefully my friend xxx
