Saying Goodbye to Tom

This blog is along time coming. I have just had a hard time coping with the fact that he is really gone. Before Tom passed away we made a trip out to visit him and Aunt Sandra. It was hard to go with everything going on, but I don't regret making that trip at all. Even now Max still talks about Tom and Sandra.
It was amazing to watch my children feel what Tom needed and give someone to be honest they hardly knew Love and unconditional love at that. Emily would just go up and hug him, and Max would sit and listen to him tell all of his stories. This will be a memory for them forever.

Tom was the first one to get me a job in Virginia. Allowed me to stay in there house before Jason and I got married. He was kind, considerate, and wonderfully sarcastic. He also knew what to say when I was down to build up my self esteem. He was so kind to me even before he really knew me and I am grateful, for the time we were both in Virginia together, and the time we worked together and the love he gave me and my family while in Virginia and even after he moved away. I am going to miss the Christmas Eve conversations at Aunt Janets.
