Not sure what to say?

You and I have ALWAYS had a special bond and link that created many people to be envious. I know your deep love for me ever since I was born. The relationship we had was once in a million. I can not even count the times you've told me you love me. And I love you too. I miss you beyond words. You are the most important person in the world to me. And I know you are still with me. Only you and I know things and that is one of them.

Jadel and Thom,,,,,so so sorry. Your dad and my parents were good friends and I remember spending time at your house when we were young. So happy he lived a long life and I hope you find comfort in that. My brother died two days after your dad,,,none of it makes sense, unless you follow the Lord. I hope you all do and find the peace you need.

i will always love you Dad. your son, Thom.

Dad, its just starting to sink in, that you are gone. I will always, think of you, and the memorys, i have of you. i will always have a piece of you in my heart. I love you, Dad, your son, Thom.
