Goodbye my Friend

A true short story about a dear family friend!

My family & I have known Tom for many years. My brother and Tom, the best of friends.
Tom went to Vermont on a business trip. After he finished he went to the airport to find out that the flight was delayed due to weather, (snow). He sat and waited for hours. Finally it was time to head out. Tom boarded the plane and got comfortable and fell asleep. The flight was about 5 hours. Once the plane landed, Tom didn't wake up. He had a heart attack and died. Tom was 59 years old.
Tom loved football & nascar. He was an excellent cook & the best drummer. He will be missed so very much.
Don't ever think that you have time, or you can wait till tomorrow. You just never know when it's your turn!

It's true that we never know when one breath might be the last so it is wise to live as best as we can. We have no guarantee of even a moment more than the one we are in at the moment.
I am truly sorry to hear of the loss of your friend! I hope it is a comfort that he had a peaceful death!

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. My brother & Ton went to see NASCAR every year, now that Tom is gone, he was going to cancel it, then he decided to go ahead and go, and Tom's brother went with him. I feel Tom was with him that day. Thanks again!

This is so sad Donna. I think it shows us that we should never take life, or the lives of those around us, for granted.
