Today was Tom's celebration of life. We were all running around crazy and stressed out trying to get ready. Mary and I where both a bit distracted thinking about Tom's death. About 10 minutes before we needed to leave is when I found out about the chicks hatching. I don't think there could have been a better time either. We went from being on time to 30 minutes late enjoying the chicks, but it was a nice touch of irony. Seeing new life just before sending off an old life was a gift. I'm going to name the 2 chicks from today Tom & Ruth Ann.

I met Tom's best friend today. He was a very pleasant man who was accompanied by his wife and granddaughter. His daughter died just 2 weeks before Tom did leaving behind the the cute little 5 year old girl I met. His daughter's name was Chrissy, and I'm going to name the remaining egg after her. I did check the egg tonight and can hear it scratching around.
