What a wonderful man, father, friend and lover. I was one of the few who knew the real Tom, the man he was under his addiction. From our first conversation, I knew we would have something special. Those pills had such a hold on him, as hard as he tried to stop, he just couldn't.
Moving forward with my life is going to be so hard. I miss his arms around me, making me feel safe from the world. I miss his loving words that made me feel special.
