Today is 9 years of our son Ross Tomas passing. I designed the headstone over quite a few years. It’s was hard to do. I’d try and do it in the evenings while it was quite but then I’d fail due to the silence and pain. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t feel his loss. I don’t wish this kinda pain on anyone and I mean absolutely no one. Throughout life there are people that will try and kick you in the guts but they will never succeed. After going through such a loss you gain super strength to survive and go on. No one will ever beat you at anything ever. We taught Ross to be kind and respectful. He has 2 Bonneville land speed records that still stand to this day even though several have mouthed off and tried unsuccessfully to whip his ass/arse ever since only to learn they got their own asses whipped. If you do it in Ross spirit you can beat one of his land speed records. The other you cannot (youngest Indian rider to ever set a world land speed record). Many go through life thinking of material things they have. It means nothing. It’s how you treat your fellow man and women. We donate to several worthy causes and to others directly in need of financial and emotional help. We (meaning Carolyn and I) offer support to others in their time of crisis. Every day can be a difficult day but you too can get through it. Look around you and offer a hand and some love to someone else and make a difference in their life. Your upset is usually minor compared to others. Loosing Ross is painful and changed us forever. Stop and smell the roses in life and experience life. In Ross short 20 years of life he went everywhere with us and he got to experience life. Where ever we went, he went with us no matter where it was in the world. Hug and hold your kids. One never knows when it maybe your last. Do the same with your family and friends. Sometimes life comes up short. Live life and leave the world in better shape than how you arrived. Make a difference.
