It always interests me to find out who people look up to and call heros and why. For Marshall the first real life person (besides Michael Jordan) was his cousin, Thomas Flynn.
Looking back through the years we did not spend a huge amount of time with the Flynn's. But when we were there the whole family made us feel loved, special and excited that we were there. Thomas would include Marshall in whatever he was doing, IE: skateboarding, climbing trees, playing the saxophone, drums, guitar, piano, slip and slide. And some he was not doing like licking bricks to check to see what flavors they were. It was those moments that Marshall remembers to this day that made Thomas his first hero.
So, this last week we were able to go see Thomas sing one of his gigs. We had soooo much fun. But the best part for me, was watching Marshall watch Thomas with such adoration and pride, all the while singing every word of each of Thomas's songs.
Thanks Thomas for looking out for Marshall.......
