Thanks to all for your kind expressions of support.  I will make sure the family knows that Tommy is being
thought of.

I have progressed from the shock stage to the pissed off stage.  Why would my best friend do this to me...to
his beautiful daughter and sister and family?  I know I am being irrational but it's human nature.

Fact is, Tommy was in the best health in many years.  He had quit smoking five years ago, lost 70 pounds,
got his teeth fixed (he hated dentists), didn't drink or take drugs and was eating healthy to the point of yuck.
I always told him I would be the one to go next because I routinely go to the Doc, get my colonoscopy every
five years, take my blood pressure meds., go to the Dermatologist to get shit frozen off me, etc.  Oh well.
He showed me.

Who knows what's in store for us...or when the call to the big stage will come?
