About 3 and a half years ago now I lost my dad. My dad was my world, I adored him and needless to say I missed him when he was gone. About 3 weeks or so after his death I logged onto marapets and went to pet forum as I usually did every day. There on the top half of the forum was a post entitled "Giving away Tom _Steele".
I kind of froze initially not quite believing what I was seeing. You see Tom Steele was my dads nickname for many, many years when at work. It was like a sign saying 'Hey Sharon, I'm still here, I'm still watching'. I read the forum through and was distraught to find the pet had already been given.
I then did something I have never done before or since, I mailed the person asking if they were trading Tom. Firstly they were reluctant. I didn't explain why I wanted the pet as didn't want to guilt trip anyone into trading. After talking for a while we agreed a trade and Tom came to live with me.
It was great to log on every day and see my dad sitting there. He became a portal pet, even putting on a princess costume at one point and refusing to get out of it for nearly a week lol
I still had to decide on a final future for him though. During a conversation with a close friend on here it suddenly dawned on me what Tom must be. An angel fasoro. Why you ask? Well my dad had a huge 100+ ft garden and in that garden there were many foxes over the years. We had many a great morning sat watching them play. And of course angel as he is no longer with us.
A few weeks later I logged on as usual and in my inventory was an enchanted angel fasoro plushie, sent by the very friend who helped me decide what Tom should be. For this I am forever greatful to him.
So thats how Tom came to live with me and how he became an angel fasoro. Many people ask why amidst all my le pets sits little Tom the bad named (in their eyes) fassie. Its even been suggested by a few, that I should abandon him in order to make room for a trade. Well now you know why he sits there, and be sure of this, he will NEVER leave me. EVER! He is my favourite pet ever. I wouldn't replace him with a zillion roflings.
