I am not sure where to begin because there are SO many stories about TJ that I don't know if I could even pick a favorite. He was always so full of life that there seemed to never be a dull moment when he was around. Sometimes his parents would just have the look of exhaustion and frustration with his busy boy stuff and I am sure they wanted to smack me once or twice for finding his stuff SO funny. Searching the neighborhood for him worried only to see him waving from the neighbors front window. He was so friendly and comfortable that he must have felt welcome wherever he felt like going. I know there was ALWAYS a imprint he left behind after his visits to our house. I had just bought big expensive JBL speakers, the woofers are 12 inches alone and was so bragging about how loud they were that I couldn't wait to show them off to my friends. Well as was the usual Friday or Saturday night,Ted and Angel came over to hang out so when they got here I took the covers off and blasted the music bragging away,TJ naturally wanted to"touch" them to feel the vibration. Of course gave him the no touching lecture and went on into the kitchen leaving Mr. Curious standing listening to the music, when all of the sudden I hear Ted say NO TJ! Aunt Laurie is going to beat your butt! I go flying back into the room and sure enough he had pushed in the tiny tweeter in! I saw red and Ted was giggling a little saying I told not to leave the covers off. But he gave me that goofy quilty smile telling me he was sorry and it was a accident. I just could never stay mad at him. Even when he would take 1 bite out of every apple on the counter or terrorize my angel fish trying to catch them with his busy hands in the tank. The movie finding Nemo always reminded me of TJ and my fish looking at me the next morning through the floating plants and upside down ornaments in their tank after his visits with "please stop leaving that kid alone with us!!" If angel fish could talk I am sure they had a few stories as well! 😀
His love of sports following both the Giants and the 49ers yet still showing loyalty to the Tigers as well as at least keeping up with the Lions as much as anyone who grew up in the D could admit to being a fan. His solo act at one of the first family reunions, he brought love, energy and a bright light on life no matter where he was. No matter what you always knew he loved you with his long hugs and smile when he saw you even when he was grieving for his brother or the mess us adults sometimes do with our lives, he always rolled with it. He was one of my favorite kids to just talk to and had always thought he could get through anything and my heart is breaking that I didn't reach out to him when I heard things weren't going well for him. I made the mistake of just assuming he could handle it and get through whatever was thrown at him. I was wrong, he was just a boy who I now see as a kid who was trying to party his pain away, hide from the frustration of trying to give his daughter more, the grief of missing his brother and missing his siblings so far away in California. He was trying to fool all of us into thinking he had this. I am so sorry I missed the signs. I am still in shock and keep hoping that he is just sitting in the nieghbors living room waiting to see us and wave with that mischievous smile. At least I still have the speaker his little fingers pushed in so long ago and wonderful memories of that fearless little boy that kept everyone around him on their toes. Aunt Missy and Laurie love you TJ and will miss you, give your big brother a big hug for us and be a good boy till we meet up with you again and thank you for the smiles you ALWAYS brought onto us. 💕💕💕 Yes the pictures are of my speaker, I just know he would get a kick out of my posting the "evidence". ☺️☺️
