A BOND BETWEEN  MOTHER AND CHILD IS LIKE NO OTHER!
My heart  breaks  everyday 💔  a whole  that will always remain  until  we are together  again... (  I didn't forget or agreement  we made )

I'm so proud  to  be your mother  you where such a smart  and funny guy  .. And u did have some mad skills when it came to ur be-bop and the way u could dance ! Lol
I have no regrets  we shared so much together  ..All the years of you playing sports I never missed a game!  Fishing  together  trips we made and just the special  time we spent talking about everything...
So many  joyous times memories  that I hold so tightly  inside me....

Love  you so much oneday son we will be together  again!
Love always and forever Mom
I know your a angel above us all looking down . Spread your wings son your free now!

Four years later here I am, I don't know who will see this or if anyone will but that isn't the point regardless, my subconscious mind has been doing little things that remind me of my buddy Tommy, I was recently writing a new Hip Hop song and started on a punchline and multis about "locks" and "locksmiths" and it took me until I recorded the first takes and listened to them back to realize that was one of my guy Tommy's favorite metaphors back in the day and then today out of the clear blue sky on my semi new Facebook with only a few friends from Chicago even on my friends list.. "Tom Tanto Pronto N Ski" showed up as a suggested friend. Usually things like this would depress me more than anything and it made me sad but it also made me revisit things that I needed to and really helped my current life and possible trajectories. I miss you brother and you'll never be forgotten in my headspace.

My dear son.
I miss you more each day your smile and humor .
My only son my baby I pray you are at peace ....
It is hard so very hard to have your child pass before you my heart hurts everyday for just one more I love you or one more Tommy hug!
 I will think of you every day I have left on this life and one day I can say I love you son or sing my song to you 
" My son My son My only Son sent to me from the Lord above"...
I love you Tommy..
Love Mom💓

I have been friends with Tommy since High School and beyond. We had a turbulent friendship to say the least but in the end, I loved Tommy more than you'll ever know. I was lucky to reconnect with him recently and even though I'm far from Chicago we talked almost everyday, I genuinely tried to help him.  I wish I could have been there, I really do. My best memory of Tommy is him and I, Freshmen year of High School making excuses to get out of swim class first period and sitting on the side laughing and joking the whole time. We were kids then, we were goofballs, I will never think of him with any negativity because I cherish the time we spent together, we understood each other more then anybody else could. I will miss him and I will think of him everyday. I'm sorry to the family, this is one of the biggest losses I've ever had, I can't imagine how it is for you.

Love,
Robert
