I have to hand it to you, Tom. I don’t know how you did it, but you tracked me down. And, of all places, at my beloved mother’s funeral in Hutchinson, in March 2017. More precisely, it was the night prior to the funeral while the family was receiving friends. What you didn’t realize then was that you showing up literally would have blown my mind, except I was in such turmoil and grief over her unexpected passing. What I didn’t realize at the time was that I was so distraught that the following week, I ended up in hospital, suffering from heart failure because of her death. As a result, I weighed 20 pounds more than usual due to edema. Swelling which I had ignored in the weeks following her death because I was too busy taking care of all the arrangements. Luckily, six months later I had recovered to the point I no longer have symptoms of heart failure and no longer take medications. I’m lucky to be alive and well, and I’m looking forward to seeing everybody at the Reunion. Especially you, Tom.
