Thomas knew me better than anyone else on this desolate planet, as if he was my own caring father who always has time for his children.
Since I was a lonely young man who has been hurt way too many times, I always found comfort in his caring soul an loving gaze.
"Thomas," I said quietly, "do you know how much you mean to me?"
He shook his head and told me, "No, why is that?"
"Because you took care of me when I was a little boy."
Thomas nodded at me.
"When I was separated from my sister." I sighed in a somber manner, taking in the scene.
"You cared for me so much, that I never got to tell you how much I really owed you." I put my hand on his while we were looking up at the vast, starry sky. "You made sure I was well-fed, kept me happy and safe, and made sure whatever happened to you never happened to me."
He held me tightly and pulled me closer in his arms and said, "I think you're the most amazing young kid I know."
We shared a big, warm hug under the vast night sky.
