july 5...retrospect

14 years ago tom died....i think of him and miss him daily...it gets easier...but, not...i have missed him at all the big events in my life...in my kids life..graduations....weddings...births....grandchildren...and the daily stuff...i have wished he was here when i didn't know how to handle a child...when i had to make a big decision...or just to go to the movies with him...it will probably always be that way....you learn to live with it...but, i do have the joy of seeing tom in my kids...they have his looks...his sense of humor...his hard work ethic...his athletic ability...his smarts....so, i do get to see him...
r.i.p. tom...i'll always miss your big smile!
i had to pick a lot of pics....it's so fun to see them....

  2. Tom was/is legendary, and the legend is all true. He was funny, honest, loyal, courageous, a guy everyone wanted to "hang" with and to be like. A hard worker who loved his family, his passions (the lumber business, hard work, golf, tennis, his heritage, his friends) and never backed down or gave up. I wish I were more like him! A great blessing to be part of his life, and for him to be part of our lives! Eternally grateful to have known him and for his (and your) influence on my life!

    Love you Jo...Tee
