Many interests- but my main interest right now is to try to create this web site in the memory of my son Thomas James Trochlell who was killed in a tragic single vehicle motorcycle accident 6-11-2006. I want to get the word out to everyone about how important it is to take the extra minute to put your helmet on prior to riding or to make sure you and your family are in seat belt's if your in a car. Always remember that when your on the road you there with others. If we can save just 1 life it will mean the world to me. Thomas (we believe) was just going to a local store. He combined the speed of his bike along with no helmet to make a deadly cocktail. He stopped breathing on his own 10 minutes after his wreck. We were all devastated with all we endured from the trip to the hospital on. He never responded. While on life support I felt the strength of his heart- I knew I must make decisions. I decided to donate anything and everything we could. I just got word from the eye bank in Houston that Tommy's corneas are giving someone the gift of sight. I lost my son. Little can ease my pain. But it helps to know he will help other's have a chance to see again- to recover from burns through skin graphs and recover in many other ways. He was just 20- very strong and very giving. He DID give the shirt off his back to a friend in need. I know Tommy would want to continue to give now as he did in life. I am very happy with the choice I made!
THE MISSING PIECE
TO MY PUZZLE
HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY MISPLACED
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN
THE RESTLESS THOUGHT'S
THE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
THE FREEWAY OF IMAGES AND QUESTIONS
PLEGUE MY MIND
WHAT HAPPENED?
WHY DID IT HAPPEN?
HOW CAN THIS NIGHTMARE
BE REAL?
A MOTHER CANNOT JUST SHUT THE DOOR
A MOTHER SIMPLY CANNOT WALK AWAY
A MOTHER CANNOT FORGET THE
COMMITEMENT SHE MADE.
THE DAY I CONCIEVED
THE CONTRACT I SIGNED
WAS NOTORIZED
DEEP WITHIN MY HEART AND SOUL.
A MOTHER'S LOVE SIMPLY DOESN'T STOP
SHE MUST MOVE FORWARD
BECAUSE SO MANY OTHERS RELY ON HER
BUT
SHE WILL NEVER STOP
SEARCHING FOR
THINKING ABOUT
AND LOVING
THAT MISSING PIECE OF HER PUZZLE.
I LOVE YOU SON!

I WROTE THE FOLLOWING POEM:
MY FEELINGS
I WAKE UP EACH MORNING
I TRY TO THINK IT WAS A DREAM
I WANT TO LASH OUT
I WANT TO SCREAM.
I WALK DOWN THE STAIRS
I LOOK AROUND
BUT YOUR NO LONGER HERE
NO WHERE TO BE FOUND.
I MISS OUR CONVERSATIONS
AND YOUR WONDERFUL LAUGH
I WISH YOU WERE HERE
AS YOU WERE IN THE PAST.
I TRY MY BEST
TO KEEP YOUR MEMORY ALIVE
WHILE MY HEART REMAINS BROKEN
AND WHILE MANY THINGS MAKE ME CRY.
I WALK THROUGH EACH ROOM
AND I GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS
TRY TO KEEP MYSELF BUSY
SO I WON'T GET TOO EMOTIONAL.
I MISS YOU SO MUCH
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS REAL
I THINK I'M CONDEMNED
FOR A LIFELONG ORDEAL.
I LOVE YOU SON AND I MISS YOU EACH DAY
I'VE HAD A TOUGH TIME
COPING
SINCE YOU WENT AWAY!

WHAT IS THERE TO DREAM ABOUT?
MY LIFE SUDDENLY STOPPED BEING
AS FULFILLED AS IT WAS JUST THE NIGHT BEFORE YOUR ACCIDENT
HOW CAN I LAUGH?
HOW CAN I SING?
HOW CAN I FEEL WHOLE AGAIN?
I DOUBT I EVER WILL.
I CARRIED YOU SOME 21 YEARS AGO,
I WATCHED YOU LEARN...
HOW TO CRAWL...
TALK...
WALK...
AND RUN...
I WATCHED YOU AS YOU BECAME A FATHER...
AS YOU SET OUT ON YOUR JOB JOURNEYS...
I WATCHED YOU LAUGH...
CRY...
I WATCHED YOU LEAVE ONE FRIDAY NIGHT...
I NEVER SAW YOU RETURN AGAIN.
I PACED...
I WAITED...
I YEARNED FOR YOU TO WALK IN AND SAY...
IT WAS ALL A PATHETIC JOKE.....
I'LL NEVER BE THE SAME.
I CAN'T HEAR THE MUSIC.
I MAY NEVER DREAM AGAIN.

As I painstakingly make each star tonight,
I try to fight away the tears,
I focus so much with care and with love,
For all our children who watch from above.
For some strange reason
I cannot explain
I feel some comfort
as I write each name.
I hope this strength
will help me through
with the most meaningful
craft I will ever do.
I dedicate my tree
to our stars up above.
To all our Angels
We will forever love.
Love- hugs, peace and joy
to each of our Angels Girls and Boys!
Love You All!
