Tommy was like my big brother in HS. He used to pick me up from my classes my senior year. He was my big bear, my protector. I loved him.
We hung out all the time then we lost touch.
We both grew up and I moved away. We spoke a few years ago when he moved to Florida. I was just talking about him today and went to find him only to find out he's gone. Life is so short and so precious. Tommy was my best friend once and I'm terribly sad to know he's gone. I always hoped he was out there somewhere with his big laugh making everyone smile like he did to me. RIP dear friend. I'm so sorry.
