Thank you so much for sharing your story. I...Tom, <br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have been following along as a fellow hiker for a few years. I never have much to say because you say it all - the White Mountains are a place of wonder, and simplicity is the key to happiness. Hope to be a neighbor in a nearby mountain town someday! And I agree - social media is SUCH a drag to keep up with. I am so happy to welcome the three amigos to my hometown tomorrow. Safe travels and happy unplugging afterward!Just for Laughs Teamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233793046997169816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-85883918894553013022014-03-25T19:01:55.626-04:002014-03-25T19:01:55.626-04:00Dearest Tom- Standing Once Again Before One Of The...Dearest Tom- Standing Once Again Before One Of The Most Feared Events In Life -Illness- Even More So When It Is Affecting A Loved One - Your Words Of Power Give Me Strength And Purpose To Carry On - Always With Compassion And Peace!Annie Criscitiellonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-62989422418201391222014-03-25T18:29:29.207-04:002014-03-25T18:29:29.207-04:00As your journey continues we are enjoying it all w...As your journey continues we are enjoying it all with you, Atticus and William ....

I am coming from Florida to see/hear you 3 and to introduce you 3 to my son who lives in Boston. I am bringing Gardenias from my garden for Will. I am thinking it might be a new scent adventure for him.( I love that he enjoys smells because 3 1/2 years ago I lost my sense of smell and taste from a traumatic brain injury.)<br />Leslie Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09729329095499127818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-76772236012213398812014-03-25T03:57:12.868-04:002014-03-25T03:57:12.868-04:00Tom what a great story.

I can feel the compassion when you rescued Will from his midnight accident, He thrives because of Your love and care. Like Carolyn Bonier said all those faces are there because they love the story of Tom & Atticus and the story teller. You could explain how to install a toilet or how to change a tire and everyone would love it. You have the gift of being a story teller and a very funny F*#king guy. I hope you have a safe trip there and back. I'm sure Laura & Marybeth are equally excited to be there for sweet William... WISH I could be there but I will be there in spirit. ONWARD by all means!

Loved this posting about Will and his mishap; you and Atticus using the opportunity to hike in the dark, you facing your fears in the dark and Wednesday night here in Norwood. You are an inspiration, as are your two dogs. I know you would probably remark that we all are in our own ways and I would probably mostly agree. But you have this talent for sharing your thoughts and feelings in such a lyrical manner that you give me and likely all of us following you "aha" moments whenever I read your posts. "Aha, someone out there feels just like I do about ____. I am not alone in this or that". :-) So thank you. And by the way, I will be in your audience Wednesday night and like everyone else there I am sure, willing you to not only do just fine but to enjoy it too. Those of us who want to be near you, hear your voice, be near Atticus & Will, buy your book so you can autograph it for us will be fully sated by just that. The wisdom and pe<br />tty you share with us is just icing on the cake.

I wonder if that is similar to your fear of public speaking. If you speak as well as you write you have nothing to fear. Also remember that probably most of those 1400 eyes looking at you will be looking with respect and love for you, Atticus and Will. My eyes will be among them silently cheering you on. I just hope that the predicted storm won't interfere with the event!carolyn bonierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04680694047870285905noreply@blogger.com
