What a beautiful boy and lovely man to carry in your heart. <br />I remember when we met and had a chance to look at the photos you'd brought of Thomas. Always smiling, it seems. At least, in my memory. And kidding around. Such a wonderful photo too of him with his best friend. How lucky he is to have a family who celebrates him. Feels the terrible loss, but doesn't hide from it. Or him. What a glorious presence Thomas is in your life. And now, at least reflected, in ours.<br /><br />Thank you for giving us Thomas, Lee Ann.Louise Penny Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316557270587688970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-7509578261492428982009-11-11T06:04:31.865-08:002009-11-11T06:04:31.865-08:00Thank you so much for this reminder, to us all, of...Thank you so much for this reminder, to us all, of what we owe to these good soldiers who are so much more. Sharing these words, I am sure is very hard, but also may it help you a tiny bit to know that we do care. And we do appreciate it so very much.<br /><br />Civilian salute. Then a bowed head. And a heart that carries love and respect for our soldiers, always, today and every day.
