What an outstanding article! I agree with Tom’s message (plea) to seize life and focus on what brings you joy and happiness. Prayers to his nephew, Gary and his family.

Great story, John. Thanks for sharing it. I really liked hearing about how the woman with cancer hiked the entire PCT!

Carol, I’m glad it touched you too. Tom’s a great writer, and we both live in the Mount Shasta vicinity.

Nice post. Makes me think about all the people I know who are financially wealthy, but physically poor.
