Tom passed away at 1:16 pm this afternoon. He left us with Mom, Becky and I at his side. The grief I feel will pass in time, but for now, it's heartbreaking.
My father was a very special person who was loved by so many people. Even in illness, his courage to fight on was truly legendary. He fought a drug resistant infection for a month and a half only thinking of being able to take care of our family. Although his heart stopped several times last month, he fought through it.
I still plan to add more stories about my time with him. There are so many to tell. I was fortunate to get the opportunity to spend a lot of time with him. He took great care of me and I took the best care of him I possibly could. He will live in my heart and mind forever.
Peace to you and your families...my father lies at peace and rest.
