I know there aren't too many people that keep up with these postings that don't know about Tom's situation. He's in a Rhode island hospital and things aren't looking very optimistic. Lindsey has been there all this week and I am here in Socorro with Emma but planning on going out there this weekend. It's really unfortunate that this is happening. Please, say a prayer and have faith that things can improve for him. He is a strong guy and the heart of his family. I know that Lindsey and Tom have always had a very special relationship and as I look through pictures we have, it kills me. There was never a time that even saying good-bye didn't bring tears from the both of them. The picture I posted was from Thanksgiving 2007. It was the first and only time that Tom was able to come out to Socorro and see our new house. This summer, he really wanted us to go out to Rhode Island and visit, as Kelly and her family and Liz with hers, were all there enjoying the beaches and spending time together. We had decided early in the summer that we weren't going to make the trip this summer and I even accepted a job teaching here at Tech. I realize you never know what life has in store for you but I sure wish I had gone out there. I mean, one of the reasons I even became a teacher was to be able to spend time doing things like that, things that you can't put a price on. But, you never know. You never ever know what is in store for you or why. Some things can seem so unfair that you can question, be angry, be sad, confused. But you just have to keep your faith that things will get better and do all that you can for the people around you. Tom IS a great guy, the type of person who can always find an old friend or make a new one. He loves everything Boston and even watched a Red Sox game at Fenway just this past Sunday with Sue. He's an intelligent person and I always enjoy talking to him about teaching math. He is a great coach and I know that he has helped so many kids accomplish much more because he saw in them what they couldn't see for themselves. So, remember to say a prayer for him and make sure you take advantage of every situation to let people you care about know that you do.
