Tonight was the first night I actually cried for you, Tommy. I was being strong Ali week so that friends, family, and the regulars could mourn.
I remember the first time I met you and you said what kind of name is Marvel. I said it's my name that's what kind of name it is. After that I knew this was going to be my bar in DC.
The moment I asked you if you wanted me to be in this with you, you responded with only if my dreams come true.
I quit my job and became part of the hopscotch work family. I dedicated my life to making it as good as we could make it as a community bar.
Things got so much better and we were going to open a 2nd location.
You left me to soo and as I writing this I have tears in my eyes wondering why you left me so early.
Sitting on your bucket in the kitchen looking at your glasses and smiling of all the gifts you gave me.
But I know you are in a heavenly place and I look up at the sky, saying thank you for everything you did for me and now the friends and new family I have made.
Tommy, I love you!
