Goodbye Tom!!

Today was a sad day for us...one of Luke's most favorite therapists is moving to Montana. Tom has played such a HUGE part in Luke's recovery....especially with good old lefty. He has also made a difference in Luke's crawling, balance, writing, throwing, eating....and I could go on and on. Needless to say, we are very sad to see him go, but wish him well on his new endeavors in Montana. One of the last things he said to me today was in his client breakdowns he wrote for the person taking over for him, he told them no matter what, to always believe in the person they are working with. That was Tom, he believed in Luke, and it paid off. In the process he became Luke's friend. He would always say, "yeah," when I asked it he wanted to go see Tom. So to Tom we say..

One hundred years from now
It won't matter
What kind of car you drove
What kind of house you lived in
How much money you had in the bank
Nor what your clothes looked like
BUT
The world may be a little better
Because, you were important
In the life of a child.....our child...THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
