Day 40 Things that make me smile: Happy 16th Birthday Tommy

-

Sixteen years ago I was in Ely for a baby shower for my friend Tami.  As I got ready to leave to go back to the cities - Tom and Jen were heading to the hospital in Virginia.  I stuck around for awhile with the hope that the baby would arrive and I could meet him/her on my way home.  Soon I left, as I pulled into my parking lot in the cities, I got the call that Tommy was born.  Love this kid - hardworking, smart, kind, I could go on.  Celebrating Tommy makes me smile tonight.
