I guess that means you exist in some sense in more places than you yourselves know, and are part of more stories than you could ever read.<br /><br />John Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-18231174169979679042013-10-18T21:07:42.408-04:002013-10-18T21:07:42.408-04:00YepYepWill Langenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-41356376372204703022013-10-18T18:35:02.019-04:002013-10-18T18:35:02.019-04:00And today he napped during treatment ... wishing p...And today he napped during treatment ... wishing peaceful days and nights to all!

Two hearts, One spirit can stand up & say "Fuck Cancer!" My favorite moment of the Gratitude Hike was when I saw You & Atticus facing away from us, Atti had his head resting on your shoulder at peace. I've seen the same picture many times before on your blogs... but it was different being there...it was so special to watch that pure connection. We were at the top of a mountain with Tom & Atticus...Big sign of contentment...PRICELESS!

I know there have been down days, but all in all it sounds as if he's weathering it well. Again, thank you, Tom, for allowing us to be a part of this journey that you three are on. My prayers are with you both for tomorrow's treatment. You are Atti's rock and shield thru these times. You calm each other, comfort each other, and strengthen each other. I know tomorrow will be alright simply because you are together. <br /><br />Hope little Will-man is well. I haven't read anything about him on Facebook this week. I do love that little man and think about him all the time. Those eyelashes and that little hoppity dance he does just melt my heart.<br /><br />Be well, you three, and let us know how tomorrow goes.

One can only hope that a least once in a lifetime one can share such a bond with another of God's created beings. All good wishes as Atti enters another chemo treatment.

It was the most terrifying moment of my life. I can't imagine what you go through Tom, watching that, as much as you love Atti. Will be glad when tomorrow's treatment is over and you can say, "only 2 more left." I can't tell you how I dreaded each one. The last one I dreaded most because it made me feel like crap. Worse than crap. I will be so happy when Atti's treatments are over. I dread each one for him and am always so happy and relieved to hear good reports afterwards. Please smooch him for me and tell him Lisa in N.C. is praying for him and sending good thoughts and positive energy, and of course, for you and Will as well.

I always love reading your posts...Tom and Atticus, <br />I always love reading your posts, as a tear trickles down my cheek, I understand what you mean about you and Atticus. You are equal, not one better than the other, or higher on the evolutionary chain, you live and love and hike as equals. No more, no less. Atticus is free to make his own decisions just as you are and you both understand this, and can communicate this to each other. I wonder if humans suffer from the "I am the boss" syndrome because we feel that we are the highest evolved of all the species? Which is why we feel we should bend the world to our liking, not listen to what it has to say to us. I feel that we miss so much about what we can learn from nature, and the beings around us because most people go into each day with a closed mind, and a closely guarded heart. I have found the best times in my life are when I watch nature and her beauty and wonder and see what I can learn from it..not what I can impose on it. The stars have always been my favorite thing, I wear a pendant I designed of Orion's Belt that to me looks like a giant arrow in the magnificent winter sky, and that reminds me to chart my course by starlight and to lift my eyes up in wonder at this amazing world we inhabit. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, I have recommended your book too many times to count. One last note..I was correct at my guess for the music you played in a video..I knew it wasn't from Lord of the Rings because I have watched it numerous times, but I just saw The Hobbit, and there it was, and now it is on my iphone. I will keep you, Atticus and Will in my prayers, and hope all goes well tomorrow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-31881112550978757522013-10-17T14:41:57.936-04:002013-10-17T14:41:57.936-04:00Tom, Atticus and William THANK YOU for sharing thi...Tom, Atticus and William THANK YOU for sharing this very special time with us ..

I admire how you always have Atticus' well being in mind when you climb these mountains. Together, you climb to find the strength, courage, and support needed to find cancer and chemo therapy. Fighting these dreadful diseases takes great courage and support from your loved ones. Together -- you climb, to stand tall in support of one another. Continue. Never allow others to influence your decisions where Atticus and Will are concerned. Onward!!!
