Dare to Prepare

[sumisu]

Koog, thanks for posting Tom's b4atf)"The Christmas Kitty" in tribute to his wife, Denise.

On December 12, 2013, Tom sent me a message: "If I have not mentioned it Eddie I am dying and time is growing short. Watch my board. Thanks, Tom"

Needless to say, I was in shock. Shortly before Tom's message, my Mom had died and shortly after Tom passed, my girlfriend died of cancer. We just don't know what's in the cards for people around us!

Tom might have died of a broken heart and eventually he had to leave his cabin in the woods to return to a hospital, just guessing.

"The Christmas Kitty" was a well written story; I have read it often. That was part of his legacy to us in addition to being a really nice guy married to sweet.

Happy New Year, Koog. I hope things improve for us and the entire world.

Thanks,
