For me there's no real way to put any of the pieces back together to create any semblance of the whole, but there is an exhausted thread holding up what remains of -- I can't find the word(s) -- the remains of me is all I really know to say right now, and, well, this string was made a little stronger today by the beautifully sincere words of a stranger.
Thank you Kim for sharing your words with Erin and me. A very thoughtful and kind message. Thank you.
I wish that our stories did not have to be told.
Please do not stop writing Tom. No one has left your side. You are still very much a part of all of us. You are our hero who takes on the worst of our fears, real or imagined, as you dutifully, day in and day out find strength to fight the mud. You are fighting the 'fight' everyday for your family because they need you, but we are all the benefactors of your journey. To Willem: Willem, I've read from some reputable sources that it is very difficult for you in the spirit world to get through to your loved ones when there is so much darkness surrounding their inner world of thoughts. Please try your hardest to break through your Dad's walls of pain even if just for a moment to let him know you are there. Use all that creativity I know you have. And Tom, listen up and crack open a window for him. Hugs, Nancy
