Day 148

While Audrey discovered her prowess for sports and Jeremy was finding out his knack for music, Thomas learned he could be a great comfort for those on the verge of death.

But unlike Jeremy and Audrey, Thomas would be called upon for his talents repeatedly.

While they would give way to compromise in life, office duty and familial bliss, School chum Tommy wouldn't be able to escape.

He would be called upon for his entire life, and even longer than either of theirs.

Yes, even they would need Tommy in the end. As we all will, someday.

Someone pleasant, but not invasive - empathetic without being depressing. A nonthreatening, otherworldly sort of creature, who serves to both see you off from this life and welcome you to the end.

You cannot stay, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't want to go.

Tragic for a child to be charged so young.

More so, when they discover their skills alongside someone they love.

Tommy had never seen his Father quite so content as when his son was by his side for his final breath...
