Remembering Tombol

When Tombol was about 9 years old he accidentally saw my mom in her bra. I remember him immediately covering his eyes and ducking his head. For as long as I knew him, Tombol always exuded that same aura of child-like innocence. Tombol’s wondrous eyes absorbed only the splendor of the world around him. Tombol translated that splendor it into a brilliant smile that he so generously shared with us. His smile exuded a joy and vivaciousness beyond description. I wish I could cover my eyes and duck my head in response to this horrible tragedy. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Only the good die young.
