We prayed tonight for our hearts. We prayed that Daddy knows how much we love and miss him.
I started tonight, telling the boys about the night I fell in love with Steve. As a lot of people know, I did not particularly like Steve when I first met him. I thought he was a typical frat boy, with a fast car. On July 8, 1994 that all changed. My sorority sisters talked me into going roller blading, which of course meant a visit to Sigma Pi. With no shoes, shorts and a t-shirt I walked into Sigma Pi not realizing my life would change forever. Steve and I really talked that night. We talked about our future, our beliefs, our fears, everything that would fit into a 6 hour conversation. Such a gentleman, he asked to walk me home. Of course, it was downtown San Jose at 3am so his chilvalry was much appreciated. He asked if he could kiss me when we got to the door. For those of you who remember, that was tricky as we both were dating someone else. I let him kiss me and I knew that night that I loved him and wanted to be with him forever.
Jeremy and Will loved this story and couldn't wait to tell their own. Jeremy talked with such excitment about wandering around the Oregon Convention Center looking at so many kinds of cars. There were new cars and old cars, electric cars and fast cars. Daddy showed him the engines and the accessories. Of course Daddy told him the kind of car he wanted...a 1956 Corvette.
Will continued our night with his sweet memory of Jeremy and Will's last night with Steve. He loved putting on the gowns and masks and playing dress-up...they were Hufflepuff Quiditch players you know (because of the yellow).
