Tom Hetrick (Peggy's Brother)

How could this have happened to us? But, you know, over the years, I see so many people losing loved ones. And the one question that keeps coming back to me is if we had done something different, if we'd stayed in Hawaii, if we'd stayed in Spain. this would have never happened. Why did this happen? What brought us here to this place for this to happen? There's so many multiple universes.

We could have stayed here, stayed there. I moved to Florida earlier, and she would have been alive today. But it didn't happen that way. Why? I don't know. I don't know. But I wish we would have done some things differently. Yeah. In my lifetime now, it's been 30 some years since Peggy's gone and still nothing has been done about it.

And it's like everybody just wants to turn a blind eye to it and move on. What? Move on. I've got stage four colon cancer. I'm doing all right right now, but my doctor has told me, and she was very blunt about it, she said, you know that this is going to kill you. And I said, yeah, I know that. I understand that.

So that's why I agreed to do this interview, because I may not be around before this comes to a conclusion. But I'd like to see it start. I'd like to see them get busy and do their job and give Peggy resolution. Maybe me, maybe I'll still be around. I don't know, but I'll try. Try to be around. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of anything anymore. I can't be. I have to be strong.

And if we can do something for Peg and her memory, then let's get it done now.

You feel like you've fallen into an abyss. One day you have sure footing and things are stable and she's going to be down there and our friends down there were going to find her a job to help her find a job. And she was going to live with us and be a bright spot in the house and we'd be a family together. to an abyss.

Like going into the ocean, you can't breathe and you just sink away, far away, without stopping. And so now your life is changed forever. What do you do? Hopes and desires, they go out the window. Now you have to start a new life. And then after that, my dad started to get sick. Now I'm dealing with my dad that is dying because the doctor pulled me in. He said, your dad maybe has six months.

And I just looked at him. I said, what? What?

The happy times we had, you know. I mean, when he was growing up, when he was a toddler running around. and always so happy, always so happy.

When he'd greet you, he'd give you a big hug and say, I love you. You know, I love you, Uncle Tom. And that was just his way of greeting.
