I remember the first day I ever saw Tom. So tall and handsome. We lost touch once and then when he came back we talked but lost touch again. He tried to find me but I didnt even know it. The other day going through my email I found that he was looking for me. So I googled him to try and find him. only to find this. So sry for your lost.. Prays are sent your way. Wish I could have told him goodbye and that I loved him one last time..
