Thomas F McBride

Dear Tom, it’s been a year since you left your body; yet, for me, Time stands still. I feel your presence day and night, but still I miss the physicality of you. Miss the sound of your voice, your laughter. Miss our dates and living room dancing. Miss your hugs, our hand-holding, the tender kisses, and those deep conversations we shared into the wee hours of the night. I miss our trips and fun adventures, especially those in Big Sur, or with family and friends. We both believe in “forever together.” But I find it’s true: “Time goes too slow for those who wait.” Yet, wait we must! So, honey, surf the waves to your heart’s content. Paint the skies as only you could, if the gods will let you, that is. And meet me in my dreams, where we’ll pass the time, until we’re together again. I love you, my Lion, Tiger, darling. –

Your loving wife, Jan McBride
