Thomas turns 18


 He wont let me take photos these days.  But he is taller than me.  He is very handsome.  He has bucket loads of love and compassion for people..... except his little brother.  He doesnt know what he wants to be... but he has time for that.  He has some good friends but like all of us I suppose is lonely from time to time.  He carries a great sadness missing his dad.  It is a physical pain that wells up into tears quite often.  Ive feared for his life while he has fought his way through puberty.  But I think he will be ok.  He is doing year 11 this year.  A year late.  But we do things differently around here.  He loves me.  Im glad he is here.
