I miss you still every day. I still have April and Snowball. I miss our talks, the way you never judged me. I hope you are in a better place with loved ones laughing at this crazy world, and I can’t wait to see you again.
PS- if you want to shoot rubber bands at me I won’t mind. ❤

I miss laughing with you, Thom. I hope I brightened your days. I know you would be proud of all I have accomplished in the six years you have been gone. I still think of you every day, so many good memories. ❤❤❤

Tomorrow you will have been gone a year. I remember the day in such vivid detail. Tomorrow will be difficult for me.
I pray that you are at peace, that you know I am okay, and that you know you will never be forgotten. Much love.
