Matt you are a darling thank you so much for being here for me
To my other friends here that have been so kind I will tell you brief as I can about my loss of my bestfriend the most wonderful courageous man I know.
I met Steve 2 years ago March 5th 2001 online at a brokenhearts msn community I was an assistant manager at which I am now manager. He had just gotten out of a bad relationship and the rest is history for the last 2 years we have spoken daily online or by phone. We have met in person about 10 times and he stayed for weeks at a time at my house as he was from Henderson NY and I am from Niagara Ont. Canada. My Steve had a heart condition called Dialated Cardiomyapathy. He was diagnosed in 96. He had 4 strokes the last one being Feb 2002 at that time they put in a difibulator ( mini pacemaker ) that was supposed to fire if his beats got irratic and get the heart back to normail rythym. He was on a transplant list at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester NY. We actually had an appt there in less than a month for an update on his progress which was great actually he had lost 30lbs like he was supposed to..he had all his teeth pulled as he was supposed to and was getting his dentures this week. Well this week never came for him..After informing his mother he felt a little strange Friday morning he told her if he still felt like that Saturday he would go to Er. He had a heart attack in his sleep Saturday May 17th and it killed him. I just cant handle this...I slept 2 hours last night and I try not to think which is immpossible and when I think I cry. So please bear with me if I dont answer alot of posting for a little while. His funeral is today and his mother is calling me tonight because she said there are a few things I might want to have. One thing that gives me comfort is he knows I loved him. We ended every conversation with those 3 words because we never knew how much time he had. The docs told him the heart he had with the meds he was on would last him around 3 years and the transplanted heart 10 plus years. But he never got that far. So please can everyone that reads this say a small prayer for him. We talked about death so many times and though he didnt want to die he was at peace if it happend. Thank you all for reading..I will be here when I can and keep you updated through Matt if I cant myself. God Bless you all.
Luv Autumn.
Rest in Peace my Darling Friend.
Steven Souva...Feb--1956 - May 2003
