MY BEST FRIEND
Yes, we all love to rib Thomas. The boy has his quirks. But I love him anyway. And I know he loves me. Now I could get into an exhaustive monologue about what makes Tom so special to me, but I don't have the words or the energy. I don't know about you, but for me, I love him because he's never at a loss: whether it be words, opinions, feelings, pain, passion or anger. About the only thing he's ever consistently at a loss for is money. And that may be more a function of circumstance than anything else (although I'd be the first to remind him that he holds most of the strings to his world, if he truly believes in himself). So as we all take great joy in giving Tom the hell he deserves, let us not forget that we come back, most of us every day, not just for his words, but for his heart and insight. Those are the blessings he's been given, and good for us that he shares them.
