I am sorry you have been so hurt, Steve. You are such a gentle person, and yet you have received such rough treatment. Not all was out of malice, some was out of ignorance, but even so it hurts. When we are hurt in youth, those wounds leave lasting scars.

I value you as a person. I am honored and happy to have you for a friend. I hope there are times when you are able to feel more at peace with things.

I send you soothing thoughts tonight, and many hugs
