A dad is someone who wants to catch you before you fall but instead picks you up, brushes you off, and lets you try again. A dad is someone who wants to keep you from making mistakes but instead lets you find your own way, even though his heart breaks in silence when you get hurt. A dad is someone who holds you when you cry, scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed, and has faith in you even when you fail...

I pray for peace and healing for Tom's entire family. I met Tom through his grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. Elliott when he spent part of the summer with them; at a young age. Although people may not speak for years a friendship lasts forever. I know his family is proud of him especially Mr. Elliott, he would always smile and laugh when speaking about Tom.
I wish you all peace...
