Beyond friendship

 To say I loved Doc is an an understatement. When he had his first hear attack I went to his cardiologist and offered to give my heart for him. My love for him was absolute.

It was also my downfall. I invested too much time, energy, money into him. I have to give him credit, he told it to me.... but Doc was also a dick so?

We can pick our mentors but we can't pick our mentees. In all of my time in higher education I've looked for the Steve to Doc as I was to him. I am good... really good at what I do but to hold out hope for a me to Doc is weird dream to have. It won't happen for a dozen reasons... but, I've made fantastic friends since I moved to the UAE so perhaps my world is not a bad place.
