		<description>Tom, Sal, Ciara and Erin,
You have been on my minds a lot.  I hope and pray that all is well. Please stay encouraged and know that you are loved very much.  Look forward to hearing from you.  I just want to encourage you with this verse:
 Isaiah 41:10 (The Message) 
Don&#039;t panic. I&#039;m with you. 
There&#039;s no need to fear for I&#039;m your God. 
I&#039;ll give you strength. I&#039;ll help you. 
I&#039;ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.</description>

Take care
Love

		<description>Hi Sally and Tom.
I still have not seen Tom since he has been back but hopefully will soon.
Sally - you remind us all that the roads we travel are so easy compared with yours and Toms.
Your updates are so beautifully written. Thank you for keeping us in the loop.
Thinking of you with love and the deepest respect.

		<description>Happy birthday Tom!  
Sal - thank you for the beautiful update.  It was so good to spend some time with you and Tom, at least now I can visualise your new life - and all that it brings - heartbreaking and heartwarming.  
Seeing the new year in together was perfect (apart from the disappointing Straker Ave fireworks, ha, ha - but the blue moon did compensate, thanks Schonkens!) 
Big hug from us, and rubbing those shoulders.</description>

		<description>Dear Tom, Sal and the girls: thank you for the very vivid description of the way your life is now. It is incredibly moving to read about you experiences and your feelings. Thanks for putting it all into words and photos. It is both terrifying, breathtaking, and at times also funny! 
Thinking of you, and we hope that the pressure sore heals up quickly. 
Offering you some butter lamps this Losar in Bhutan
