It is 12-13-08. We are home. For the first time, Molly was not here to greet us. It took some of the luster off our return. Linda and I are home bodies. Two weeks is too long to be away. The information we recieved will improve the health of both of us for years to come, as long as we are strong enough to follow their rules. Yesterday I got invites from two great old friends to meet for breakfast. Believe me, No typical American breakfast falls within our rules! I thought, if this is what it takes to live to 80+ I don't think it will be worth it.e It was just a fleeting thought though. Yesterday at our graduation banquet we were each allowed a few words. For the first time in my life, I publicly credited God for something good that has happened to me. I acknowledged that I was cured of cancer thanks to his intervention. We have begun asking St. Earl for help too. St. Earl is my dad. He helped me and my family every day while he was here I'km sure he doesn't mind carrying the load now.
Linda and I can teach you to save your lives by eating properly. If you ask we'll teach you, but we won't try to force our ideas on you.
Life is good. We are home. I am cancer free,but not certified,medically. We are very happy, peaceful and very strong. Thank you again for your prayers. How do you thank people that saved your life? You are all wonderful, generous friends. We love God, love you and love ourselves. Something Father Fred up in TC taught us to do.
Thanks again,
Tom and Linda

Tom,
you are one inspirational dude! And you know you don't have to always be medically certified to be cancer free, it's just believing in what the body has to offer you with time.
Congrats on your healthy graduation!
Nick, AMy and Avarie
I also think of the few I know "up there" and believe they are watching down upon us, helping us and caring for us. I'm so glad you guys are home! The girls have been asking about NANA and PAPA every, more like every minute. We all love you both more then I can express.
Hi Tom, Hi Linda. My body is begging for some insight on treating it right with the foods I eat! Can't wait to have a chance for you to teach me some good things. I will be coming for a visit, ready to learn! :0)
Love, Hugs, and more love, Niki
(Don't laugh, I'll wait till after Christmas...mmmm, yummy, goodies...UGH!)
Hey Dad,
I just got caught up on some posts today. I'm so glad you're taking the time to write to everyone. I hear from people again and again how much they appreciate having the update. I can tell it's a source of strength for you, too. The girls pray for you every night. They're so serious about it, it's like they're taking care of you all on their own. Little do they know the network you have going!
