You gotta have friends

Just a brief post mid-week to say some heartfelt thank you's...

* to Esther, who brought a copy of the Transformer's DVD on the very 1st day it was released (Tom's favourite movie of the year), and a TV for Thomas' personal use (hopefully small enough to take to hospital when chemo resumes)
* to pals Sherry and Esther, for the thoughtful gift card from Panago (Tom's very favourite pizza place)
* to the Chris Knox Foundation, for the surprise tickets to the Howie Mandel show on Tuesday night. Laura had an exam and Nancy was working, so Wendy joined Tom, Mike and I (we're not saying we don't appreciate her jokes, just thought she could use some help) --- although if she starts to hum that song we may have to hurt her - if you've seen Howie's act you'll know what I'm talking about

Seriously though, as I mentioned in yesterday's post, gifts of your time, prayers and concern are truly more than enough... but we certainly do appreciate the many thoughtful gestures of both old friends and new. We continue to be overwhelmed on a regular basis - and we promise to try and 'pay it forward' every chance we can.

I can't help but feel we are so lucky,
Thomas' Mom
