Celebrating a Life

Today would be my friend Thomas' 43rd birthday. He passed away ten years ago and I can't help but think of him today. There are lots of great memories, funny stories and just fun times to reflect on today. I am blessed that our mutual friends are still in my life and I am able to remember him through all of our collective memories. It is good to sit and laugh with others who knew him as well, if not better, than I did.

Today, to honor my friend, I am including a few of my favorite pictures of my friends, Thomas included and some of the funnier times we all had together. Thanks for indulging me and my memories today.

(that is Thomas, by me on the far right. This picture was taken in 1987, at a Christmas party. Also pictured are my friends Glenn and Charles who were Thomas' best friends. )

This is a picture of my parent's house, as it was being built. There are two people on the roof -- the one on the far right is Thomas, the other one is Glenn. They were a little crazy!!!
This picture was taken on a church beach trip about a million years ago. That is Thomas, again on the far right...wow - how weird is it that every picture I have of him he is on the far right!! It was a great beach trip - and that is a great picture of him.

I love that he is smiling in all the pictures (yes, even the one with him up HIGH on that roof, I just know he was smiling) he was always positive, friendly, fun and a great friend. He was one of the good guys and this world is a sadder place without him around. I wish you all could have known him. I cherish all my memories, especially today.

Living Happily In the Moment!
