thomas wasn’t born into a loving family, or loved as a child should be, he wasn’t conceived out of love. he was conceived out of the pressure and the martial duty between man and wife. he didn’t cry within the first moments of life outside the womb, his eyes closed but his mouth was wide in silent screams. the lights inside the room flickered as the late halloween night’s sky lit up with lightning, it was until a rumble was heard, and felt, that he seemed to remember, or learned to cry in those moments of fair, that his first wail was heard. in the months, years and decades that followed he took his time in all things, never in a hurry for anything. in the eyes of his mother and father, this was a curse, but in the eyes of thomas it was a blessing. his parents were, and always had been, workaholics. they spent more time worrying about ignoring each other, and not crossing paths to worry about him. the nursery and the nannies were the only comfort to thomas, but it was also filled with coldness. it took two more years before his sister was welcomed into the world, he was only a toddler when she was welcomed into the world. but he greeted her with babbling and giggles. and as they grew they grew close, being each other’s best friend. they shared everything from their favorite colors, books and food with each other. it was often joked that if you saw one of them, the other wasn’t far behind. this bond helped thomas as he grew into a teenager.
the next decade of thomas’s life were short, but the days were long. he was both the popular person but also didn’t quite fit in. his interest were different, he wasn’t into girls and he didn’t have a singular personality trait of the sports he was playing. he was also kind, in a world that was so cruel. he would often give others the shirt off of his back and not want anything in return. he played sports from baseball to basketball, he had his toes in just about everything it kept his mind and soul at ease to be busy. he excelled in everything he put him mind to, and his marks made him of the very brightest in the school. and he knows he should be happy about this, he had everything but still there was a coldness that never truly thawed out, his parents still were married but were never home. they both preferred to live in their townhouses closer to the city. but now he can see past that lie, they just didn’t want to see each other. another thing happened to thomas he never thought would happen, he and his sister grew apart. but it was nice to know that if he needed anything she would be there. and finally thomas graduated from secondary school, it almost felt as though his life was ending but he knew there were beginnings in ends. he took a gap year, touring the world on his parent’s money. it was the first gift they had ever given to him. he started in europe, backpacking through the alps and finishing on the shores of greek beaches. he had never felt so alive before looking out into the calm water. he next toured the middle east, russia, asia, the americas and then ending in new zealand. it was a bittersweet end for him, but he felt more prepared and ready for university. on the first day he can’t help but feel overwhelmed, and thinking he had made a mistake. but then he met someone, and he changed everything. thomas can’t help but feel scared about his feelings, what if the other doesn’t feel the same? so thomas keeps his feelings to himself, and with each day he can feel his strength falling. he doesn’t want to ruin the friendship. and one day its too much for thomas, he’s fallen hard, and he kisses them. and to his surprise they kiss him back. and everything after that is history. thomas graduates from university with an engineering and history degree, and once again there’s a beginning in the end.
it doesn’t take them long to figure out the united kingdom isn’t where they want to call home, and like centuries before they cross the atlantic and land on the soil of the united states. there’s something in the vastness of the land that makes it feel exciting, and thomas begins his career as an engineer but quickly realizing that it wasn’t the dream he had, teaching was and he quickly turned down that lane. a routine was soon fallen into and the two welcome in six children. they’re the apple of his eyes, thomas driving the kids to and from soccer practice, to helping them all learn to drive a car. it seemed every moment with the kids, and your husband, is better than the last one, but they can’t be small forever. soon they all fly the nest. its just thomas and his husband now in their home on the shore of the beach, but there’s still never a dull moment, or a moment of doubt when love surrounds them.
