I just can't figure it out ,other than he knew how much I idolized him from day one. He must have loved that feeling knowing this. I had a big brother 8 years older that not only let me tag along when I was little but as I got older 10-15 he included me on endless ski trips,roadtrips,outings to the mountians to shoot the guns,whatch Pursang chase wabbits on the salt flats,BBQ all the time at your rentals,riding the dirtbikes & 4 wheel'in the Rubicon. Etc...I always remember cramming in the car with 3 or 4 of his friends never once did I hear "what'd ya bring her for or why's she here". They were never mean never yelled never put a hand on me ! I kept up with the guys and didn't talk much Tom must of thought how cool is my lil sister & he never dissapointed me or told me WHY ? I had his back & he had mine ,right up until I was 43 & he was 51. WOW! How lucky am I to be able to look back at those cherished times we had together. You left us way to early but your still my big brother and that makes me smile. I learned so much from you! xoxox's I love & miss ya (your lil sister)
