    Dear Tom…..you have shown me the way and the way is kindness. Dear Shelly…Our spirit is a light bright board….each colored peg representing all the people in the world. The people that are closest to us have pegs closer to our heart. When the peg is removed…when we loose someone, the hole left is not filled with darkness, instead the light shines brighter. That brighter light is the memories and love we hold close from having been graced with that person in our lives. So, tho it hurts greatly, we must remember that the light we are made of never goes out, only burns brighter…so tho it is a different ambiance, Toms light will always burn bright, and his peg doesn’t disappear, but moved to a new light bright board. There is no “sorry” or “anger” where Tom is at, only the light and love from which he came. Namaste.
