Today’s the Day

It feels like the beginning of something.

Or is it the end of something?

What do I say?

I loved him?

He was the best son a mom could ever have?.

He was complicated?

He had the brightest smile?

The biggest, deepest, heartiest laugh?

He was kind, caring and patient?

He could talk to anyone about anything?

He was a “renaissance” man/boy?

He was a helper – just like Mr. Rogers taught him?

Nothing seems like enough. I can’t find the words.

I miss Niels Allen Thomas.

I love Niels Allen Thomas.
