Tom

It's a beautiful almost-spring day here, reminiscent of March 19th four years ago. That was the day that my brother Tom died. Here is what I posted last year  If you click on the highlighted text, it will take you to the post on this blog about Tom from last year. You will have to scroll down a bit, but it is there about half way down  the page.
Jack and I were saying this morning that March 19th (anniversary of Tom's death) does not have the sting of February 25th ( anniversary of Dane's death). I think it is because Dane's death was such a shock (that is putting it mildly) and Tom's was the end to an incredibly brave battle. Around Thanksgiving is when we are so poignantly reminded of Tom's loss, for a host of different reasons.
I thank God every day for the wonderful people He has put in my life. And I miss terribly those that are home with Him now.
