What a lovely tribute to Tom and to your family and friends, Bonnie. Your love is a gift that transcends time, whatever "space" there is between heaven and earth, as well as the earthly miles touching your family and friends everywhere.
Dear Bonnie, your family members are rock stars, in my book. I'm glad some are local and very supportive. You and Tom had a love story that was clear to see. I'm thankful to know you both. Love and prayers, Cindy C
Happy Thanksgiving Bonnie! I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on what you are thankful for... God truly is amazing, even in the darkest of times. I am inspired by your steadfast faith in Him. My heart and prayers go out to you... I can't imagine your pain, loneliness, and despair. I just hope and pray that overall the days get a little easier as you take each step forward. With love, Sarah (Staggers) Mills
Dear Bonnie, What a beautiful entry of giving words to this continuing journey of love with Tom and with your family and those beyond that circle as well. It feels like this writing is a public pause and allows us to pray with you as you enter Thanksgiving and Christmas in a different way and in a same way. A quote by Gwyn Thomas…”The beauty is in the walking; we are betrayed by destinations” feels like some of what you have written. I look forward to when you can come and we walk the paths at The Springs. Grace and love to you, Sibyl
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, Bonnie! When I told my children that Tom had died, Jared now 23, responded very somberly, "Oh. He was my prayer pal." That was over a decade ago! We are thankful for Tom's example of faith in our son's life.
God bless you, Bonnie! Your faith is a shining example to all. We'll continue to pray for you, especially as you navigate this holiday season. Your family and friends will always be here for you.
