We need your prayers and good thoughts for our friend Steve who is in the hospital. He's very sick, and it doesn't look good.
Steve is Al's motorcycle riding buddy. Despite his illness, he would meet Al and they'd ride all over this side of Nebraska and Iowa. Several times they would stop by our house and we'd spend hours sitting around the kitchen table talking and laughing. He shared Al's love of motorcycles and my love of cooking, dogs, and having a creative outlet. He also had a sympathetic understanding of dealing with a chronic disease, and we bonded over tests, medications, and the frustration/necessity of taking things one day at a time.
We knew he was pretty sick, but his strength and attitude made it easy for us not to think about it. But he called tonight, wanting to let us know what was going on and to tell Al that even if they get tests back and can do something, his riding days are over.
So, please keep good thoughts for Steve and we'll do the same.
Thank you.

I'm so sorry. Perhaps it's our age, but we seem to be inundated with this sort of thing right now. It's almost too hard to take. I'll keep you all in my prayers.
I will be thinking of your friend Steve
