Tom, Its the holidays, and I know how deeply you are missed. its taken me a bit to write this out cause its still hard to know your not physically here anymore. oct 25 was a day i sure wish i could rewind to You, my dear friend, meant so much to me. You let me shine brightly and encouraged me to be me. to follow my pursuit of my spirituality and trauma and grief healing. I am ever so grateful for the encouragement and recognition that I changed, and the way you didnt'think it was weird with all my woo woo coaching.... lol from rocking a bus or on top of a bar... you told me people will either love me or not i cant change that nor should i try. The ones that truly know me and love me will get me. the ones that don't, I don't need in my circle anyways. Plus the people i could help that was whats important.. Thats what matters, You encouraged me to come back to Calgary. Said Family is key. You took me in from a stranger to a friend, and you quickly moved on to the friends I call family. I wish i had known the burden you carried. The beast you dealt with internally. Know you are loved, and you may have left us physically but your energy and spirit is carrying forward on the legacy you built in this short time. here in this human experience. I turn my light and my love to shine upon the darkness your family and the circle of your friends feel. There shall be love and light at the end of the tunnel of missing you. always Brown sugar lol

Tom.I miss you. I sleep with your dreams are life made of piĺow cases every night. You will never know that you meant so much to me as a friend. I knew you would come around every year but.... now you will not. This distresses me now because I now pretty much have noone. But you did give me two pillow caes which I will.hold on to. I wish your mom and dad the most piece. I will never know your struggle. It breaks my heart nearly every night.
