Goodbye, Tom Miller
In fact, when he had a particularly bad spell late in 2007 and was hospitalized, it turned into a bit of a family feud when I responded to news of his cancer with ‘yes, I knew already’. … But mostly I’m disappointed that I didn’t get to say goodbye or that I didn’t get to tell him how proud I was of him for being so fearless in the face of death. Even as I sit here at 5:30am, on my 40th birthday, it astounds me that even as I hate him a little for leaving us all behind, that I admire him for once again doing things on his own terms, dying as he lived and once again inspiring me to do more, to do better, to be better.
