I knew her in hi...You chose well to love Shavonne. I knew her in high school, before her diabetes was so bad. I knew you too, Bullets, and I am so grateful that for two months, Shavonne had you to love. Shavonne may not have had many years, but the ones she had, she lived and loved them well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35136026.post-35795016623322060212009-07-16T11:18:01.547-07:002009-07-16T11:18:01.547-07:00I am Miss Fussy Britches. I knew her for 3 years. ...I am Miss Fussy Britches. I knew her for 3 years. We met at TCCC.<br />We would met and both decide to cut class and go smoke a joint.<br />We went to Grapevine Lake and partied our asses off. <br /><br />First all Steve if you knew her so well you would have spelled her name correctly Shavonne. She was good friends with another person I knew by the name of Sara. Sara passed away in 1976.<br /><br />At the time we saw you. I was at the mall guiding her not holding her hand. Shavonne and I discussed about her drinking and partying. She said to me she would rather be happy and have fun while she was here on this earth. She knew what she was doing to her body. She told me she just wanted to have fun.<br /><br />She also loved Queen. We went to the the Texas Jam 2 to see Areosmith. Shavonne and I bought had concert tickets to see Yes before she passed. I took her brother Doug to the concert. It was his first concert he had ever been to. I cherish the time I had with Shavonne and Sara. They are my angels.<br /><br />I understand diabetes I have it myself. I also stopped drinking 12-7-2003. <br /><br />I just wanted to clear up some of the facts. I am not upset with you I just want the truth to be told. After all you only knew her for 2 months. <br /><br />I know what friendship is and I have danced with a whole bunch of my boy friends and girl friends including Shavonne and Sara. <br /><br />Have a bless day.

Everybody is disabled in some way and yearns for acceptance as if they were "normal".<BR/>I especially admire the phrase "from behind my eyes I could see". The context in which it appears staples it to the memory.<BR/>Quack, Quack!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35136026.post-46840984361667383812007-09-08T05:44:00.000-07:002007-09-08T05:44:00.000-07:00Oh Steve, dance and remember. I see your reasoning...Oh Steve, dance and remember. <BR/>I see your reasoning, -a terrible loss for you, tempered by the knowledge that you brought light, love, and laughter to her, and with you she had the chance to be herself, not a sick girl, defined by her illness.<BR/>I'm sure many of us here can identify in some way with sudden loss, and with the fact that you never forget.<BR/>The poem: at first I wondered, it seemed an unusual choice for you, then as I read further it started to fall into place, that you fell for her, gave her your love, were her eyes, guiding her, describing things she could hear and not see.<BR/><BR/>Whilst filled with grief and loss, you discovered you had been her one-man rescue-team; you, who took her from a world obsessed with hospital regimes, sickness and drugs. You gave her back the light, the chance to be a girl again, not an illness, to laugh, dance, party, and love.<BR/>Bless you, Steve.soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35136026.post-25634914790223520642007-09-07T13:30:00.000-07:002007-09-07T13:30:00.000-07:00Holy crap, Steve!

They told me when a blood vessel burst in my eye and I literally saw red, that without laser, I'd be blind in 2 years. They caught mine in time. I can so empathise with what this girl went through. I'm glad she at least experienced a friend like you who accepted her as a regular person and she could just let loose with. You added so much to her life. It's not the # of years we all had here, it's the quality...and you certainly added that to her life.Mother of Inventionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797365678860039018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35136026.post-75735787583469275372007-09-07T12:18:00.000-07:002007-09-07T12:18:00.000-07:00What a great gift you gave each other!What a great gift you gave each other!Old Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333172930957879928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35136026.post-63127390272840946092007-09-07T09:35:00.000-07:002007-09-07T09:35:00.000-07:00wow- no words right now for this.My mother has dia...wow- no words right now for this.<BR/>My mother has diabetes and every day I watch and wonder what next....her feet bother her, her legs swell, she can barely walk..and still she makes her pasta dough and pizza.<BR/>Time will tell what toll this will take, I guess.<BR/><BR/>Hope you are well, Steve.<BR/>GGEWELShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667187693235282985noreply@blogger.com
