baxter tobins black cat is not doing well .he always gets sick when tobin would go into the hospital. i will not intervene ,we are just making him as comfortable as possible but everyone knew if tobin died bax would probably follow him and vice versa .they were inseperable . tobin will be happy to have his 'little black hemmoroid' as we called him .on our last night outside together we saw the most beautiful shooting star the tail of it was green and it lit up the sky twice as it was passing ,tobin said let this one be ours,when i was outside the other night i saw another one with a green tail i know it was him ,i hope no one minds me venting here its nights like this that are the hardest im so used to every 2 hours checking his temperature and changing the pillowcases from his night sweats i dont think i'll ever sleep the same again. the kids and i are moved into the house in midland all my furniture and the tank are still at the odessa house the tank will be picked up by buddy the fish guy this sunday and the furniture will have to wait until i can find a truck and someone to help move it .tobin had told me the night before he died that he wanted buddy to have his tank ,when i think about it he has said alot of things like that here in the last few weeks i guess i just didnt put 2 and 2 together ,he knew ,i just wish he would have told me, i miss him so much already .everything still smells like him ,bob is having a hard time with it he carries tobins picture with him everywhere . we ordered tobin a wheelchair the day after he got out of the hospital and it was delivered today i think we will donate it to the cancer center that treated him , ok ive talked enough thanks for anyone who is still listening to me ramble love you...jenny

Tobin was the first one here to reach out and help me with my tank.He was very patient and put up with all my dumb questions.I didnt know then that he was ill and to know with all of the adversity he was facing he still took the time to help someone else.That says alot to me about the kind of man Tobin is and im glad i had a chance to meet him .Even though it wasnt in person. My prayers go out to you and your families.
GOD BLESS you all.

Jenny,
The "Aquarium" forum is for any off topic posts. I've had a lot of heated discussions (heck, tobin joined with me in several of them
) over things that in the "big" picture are of little worth.
Please keep posting. Your experiences and sharing Tobin's life with us gives perspective and validity to this community. The forum is not just about getting information on sw tanks...

im so sorry. i bet that him and god are looking at the ocean, enjoying all of the creatures, and watching over you guys right now. and some day you will see him again. even though he was only 43, he had more wisdom, and cared about other people more than anyone i know. and i think we should have a thread that is devoted to tobin in the archives, just a thought. again, i am sorry.

thanks guys i just wanted you all to see a small part of his farewell ,it just got me all sentimental .he thought so much of ya'll if he had energy this is the first place he went - then the front porch to sit in the sunshine . when he couldnt participate i would read the new thread titles on the boards and he would tell me which ones he wanted me to read to him -God knows he couldn't go too long without knowing what was going on in fishland !

I'm really speechless on what to say, I've been through your situation before with family, but it still leaves me speechless.
I remember trying to go to work, after my grandma was in a hospise for the week, and trying to function. I think I ticked off more people that week, than in 5 years of retailing. My hats off to you, your strength, the strength of God in you. To be able to go threw what you did. It reminds me of psalms 91 where he walks through the valley of death but it shall not come near me, my rod and my staff comfort me. Tobin was blessed by god to have you with him for the time he did.

G-d I'm so sorry to hear. The last time I was on the boards things were looking up and he was fixin' to come home from the hospital.
I am so, so sorry. My heart goes out to you and your family, Jenny.
