FUN, FUN, FUN

New Year's eve, my husband Nick really wanted to wrestle with TMo.  I'm not sure why.  Maybe because he was the only one that would step up to the challenge and rough-house a little.  The result ended in TMo giving piggy-back rides.  TMo then proceeded to pretend he was going to jump over the fire.  He had done this once before and ended up being loaded into a pick-up and taken to the hospital with broken bones.  I was all over him, "TMo, you can't do this!  I will push you down before you try any fire tricks at my house."  He dangled his leg over the fire and then told me he was kidding.  Little things mean alot. - Angela

La Javita/ Celebration

When T lived with his dad we would go to La Javita, especially on christmas day because it was the only place that was open, and we would always have the same waitress. She was the best hands down. Years later, eating at Celebration on Lover's Ln., I heard a voice that I recognized. It was the waitress from La Javita! I ran over to her and said hi. She recognized me, asked me how I was doing, and then she asked "how is your friend?" I told her TMO was fine, and we talked for a while. That didn't feel strange at all. Like Steve said, people always asked about T.

Came across a couple of pictures while going through Christmas pictures with my wife on my computer.  One of my Mom's favorite things was knowing TMO was going to come by to say "Hi" at Christmas 'cause he knew I was up from Austin.  Sure will miss him this Christmas.

Hope your doing well.
