- Msfitza has such a gorgeous idea right now on her blog. We're a day late, but hopefully we can all still participate. "Which is why I'm asking you, if you're so inclined, to do something kind on Sunday in Thomas' memory. Any sort of good deed, be it big or small, will mean he is still changing lives; still present here in a very tangible way. This has always been so important to us, almost right from the moment he died. It's what we asked of people in his obituary, as a matter of fact. It's the only way we can still know his presence here - it's the only way we can still feel it and see it and truly know it. So please, if you can, consider doing a random act of kindness for Thomas. And unless you prefer to keep yourself and your deed anonymous, please come back and tell us how our boy's life is sending ripples into eternity." Go to her site to read more and then go out and do something kind this afternoon and tell her about it--in honour of Thomas and the twins.
