I dont know what made me think of steven today but this evening, i suddenly remembered a time when we were at school together. I went into the maths block during lunch because i was being bullied and i knew id be able to sit in the textiles classroom. Well steven was there and we had never met. He smiled at me and showed me this clay fish that he had made and decorated with pieces of metal. I thought it was horrible but i told him it was lovely. We sat together awkwardly and he made me laugh that afternoon. I didnt even know he was fighting cancer. I remember all of us kids walking up to his funeral at lodge hill. I was too afraid to go in but everybody was crying. I still remember going home afterwards and the smell of zoflora when my mum was cleaning the living room floor. I thought about how sad it was that life just carries on when somebody elses has ended. I dont know why this memory has stayed with me so many years but i just wanted to say that his memory is still alive. Rest in peace steven, i hope your family have found resolution and healing in the years since youve passed.
