Tom and I were friends for 70 years. Walked to school together for 12 years. Reminds me of the lyrics of a song called Seasons in the Sun:
Goodbye to you, my trusted friend
But we've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together, we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye, my friend, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
