I’m watching “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” on TV, the annual tradition, and thinking of Tommy. XO
One of Tommy’s favorite parts he used to imitate just came on TV as I started to write:
“If we shape the eyes like this, and the nose like this, and the mouth like this…” – said by Violet, while drawing a pumpkin on the back of Charlie Brown’s head, using his head as a model for a pumpkin.
Sometimes over the years, while drawing or writing something, Tommy would quote that line. Or, if we were describing something on the phone, we might give up on describing it and just say that line.
I remember Tommy wore a ghost costume once with holes cut out all over it, like the one in this show.
Here’s the music he loved, and many of us love too:
Tommy + Halloween = Magic. So many Halloween memories of Tommy! Feel free to share any. I will still try to write more when I can. I know I’m not alone when I say…
I miss him. And it’s hard.
