I spend one day, only one in Tom’s company, A picnic at Valeria. I saw in him a
being of light and I was reminded of a saying that has always rung true for me.
The greatest gift a man can leave his children is to have loved their mother.
How few men understand this mystery, Tom embodied this truth.
Dear Tom, surround us all in the light of that truth.
Tom always reminded me of how full and big life could be…that it is possible for a man to be madly in love with his wife and family, that a big fat fuck has a heart of gold, emeralds and diamonds waiting to be shared with all of life and even those he barely new. Generous…unending generosity.
Sarah I am sorry I will not be able to be with you and the kids on Saturday…but my heart is with you every day.
