giraffefamily Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I am very moved by your condolence messages. Thank you so very much for your kindness and friendship. Tom really loved being on these boards! Tom lived with the mets for a few years and went through a lot in terms of treatment, appointments, side effects, etc.. His teams always remarked that he was the healthiest looking sick person - you would never guess if you saw him. His strong, positive attitude and proactive approach combined to create a situation that was absolutely remarkable - incredibly inspirational! More recently things became different and we had months of coping with emergency hospitalizations and a severe change that he was very aware of and did not like one bit. He remarked that if this would just go away he would be feeling better. It was the truth but was not meant to be for him. It was the greatest honor for me to hold both of his hands as he passed very rapidly from this life. Words cannot express how dearly he will be missed. After 30 years of being together, I have a gaping hole in my heart. My daughter describes her relationship with Daddy as "like two peas in a pod." We are eternally grateful for every moment we had together. Many Thanks to You Again for being a friend! It really meant a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
