It’s not every day, not even weekly I come across a story as powerful as yours. I don’t know what Thomases’ physical and or mental afflictions are. Of course I hope they are curable though something assures me this an unlikely outcome.

Hope I’m wrong.

Yours is a brave account of a terribly difficult passage. Your sharing it with us makes it all our stories… just know this reader is very much in your canoe with you guys. Know that others, including elements in my immediate circle have endured and continue to endure unspeakable pain.

As you have, if we can share the load it makes it all just a tiny bit more livable.

Be well and at peace and may the future times translate into years of some degree of ease.

Thanks for opening. You are by the way one hell of a writer.

Tom
