Letter to Uncle Tom

It’s hard to believe you were only 74 when you died. How fitting it was that you were sitting in your La-Z-Boy in the house you loved in Hollywood Beach, Florida. It saddens me to think of you dying alone. Your younger sister and my mom, Mary Jane, will be 100 years old this year. I can only imagine the party you would’ve thrown for her if you were still alive.
