I Don't Want To Go

My friend Tom Desilets, passed away on April 15. He suffered from Pick's disease, which is a rare and permanent form of dementia. Tom had a wonderful way of expressing himself with words, and before his illness had set in, he composed this:

"I don't want to go...
I don't want to leave you...
The time has traveled by,
My love will never die...
I will keep you in my heart, forevermore."
-Tom Desilets

Words have a way of touching us, and Tom had a way of touching others.

I know it was painful watching him slip. I'm sorry :(
You were a good friend to him.
