Dearest Sal and Tom, My dear friend, Nonto, died suddenly on Wednesday morning. She was in her early 40s. She was one of those people I loved, respected, trusted deeply, in a quiet, unpublic way. We didn’t see each other very often – perhaps 3 or 4 times a year – but that didn’t seem to matter to us. When we did meet we cut through the shit really quickly. Talked about our lives. Our loves. Our children. Our work. I”m going to miss her deeply. I already do. I wrote a letter to her this evening, and then went back to this website, as I often do, rereading a few entries. Connecting with the love and emotion and honesty of your experiences and other people’s feelings over the last few months. There is something so deeply of the heart going on here, on these ‘pages’. A sense of community that defies geographical distance or time. I know you’ve been through some horrendously hard times in the last 10 months, and I’m sure there have been some lonely moments too (even with the increase in the number of people now in your lives). But I also see the spirit of you both shining through, the love and courage and gratitude you feel so strongly. And, I have to tell you, it’s contagious! You have taught me -I suspect many of us- how to live life more fully. And for that we are eternally grateful.
So… Happy birthday, Sal. Wishing you and Tom much, much love.

Hi Tom,
My name is Chris Kimaru (I currently live in SA) and we were neighbours in Loresho when you guys lived in Nairobi and we used to play together in primary school. I was emailed the link to your site by our friend Chris Waweru (he is now in the UK). I am truly touched by your story and my family will keep thinking about you. Your tenacity will amaze you more than you think. God bless you Tom, Sal and your girls.

Hi Tom
I don’t know you personally but I have followed your journey on your website after a friend of mine posted a link to it via Facebook, telling of your inspuring story. Every now and then I pop back to look for an update and you’ve been very quiet. That’s normally a very good or very bad thing. In your case, I obviously sincerely hope its because you’re in a great space.
This weekend I read a book however called Ghost Boy (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ghost-Boy-Martin-Pistorius/dp/0857203312) by a South African called Martin Pistorius. His story made me think of yours, and wonder how you and your linguistically talented wife and family are?
From the suburbia of Sandton… sending love, and best wishes to you all.

hello Hayley. All good here! I have been meaning to update for a while, and will hopefully do so tonight. Thank you for your recommendation. I will check if there is an e-book version of this and if so shall buy it immediately.

Please be warned about the safety of your website. Quite a few times when it comes up there has been a warning about a virus threat – “Blackhole Exploit Kit….”
If you know already sorry for the unnecessary advice.
Still thinking of and praying for you all. Your site is my homepage!

It was heartwarming, fun and inspirational to spend time with you and the family on New Year’s Day Tom – and so wonderful to catch up with Brett and Robs and Lex after way too long. Love the spirited and honest stuff on your website – humanity and heroism in action on a daily basis. A reminder to us all to really feel, appreciate and nurture all the things we too often take for granted.
Thanks too for the Mindfulness info.
With love and admiration….Pam and Andy

Hello Tom,
It’s Angela (Rae’s friend) in Slough. I was so shocked to hear of your accident and injuries and my heart goes out to you, Sal and your girls.
I don’t know what to say really only that my thoughts and prayers will be with you all for always.
I was so touched by your writing about listening with attention, empathy and love. A reminder I need. Thank you.
Haven’t seen Rae much with her having to leave Slough but hopefully we’ll meet up next time she comes to the area!
I’ll email again some time.
Love and prayers

Good day! Recently I came across B2B lead generation services. Have you used it before?
Please help me to figure out about this company. Is it worth to use them?
