Thank you 142. I have to learn how to do that some day.

Jerry and f8. so glad you liked it. The rope swing was a leap of faith. I find that nothing much scares me anymore.

Todd, Thank you for telling your story. You have overcome much, and your positive direction will inspire others to find meaning in their lives, and to never give up. Keep up your great work!

Great story Todd.

I watched a friend - Union Iron Worker - real tough guy - destroy himself with meth. It was pretty ugly.

Glad you're still with us to share your story.

Todd,

I am more than impressed, I am in awe of you. An amazing compilation of your story. I have heard it all before, in bits and pieces. But to read it all compiled, it utterly amazing in every way.

I had no idea what you looked like. Never saw a picture of you before. You don't look at all like I had ever imagined, and I mean that in a good way.

Your story is beyond inspiring, from start to present.

And your wife is absolutely beautiful and radiant looking. What an inspiration she must be to you.

Makes me proud to know you. I know we haven't always agreed on every point, but we don't have to, that's not the important part. We are still brothers in this savage war of prostate cancer, and that should always be enough to keep a bond going between brothers.

I will save this link. And I would like to share it with others, whom I think it would help. My best to you, in every sense of the word.

Todd,
That is a great story--grit and gratitude. Is there a better combination?
Posted 10/19/2012 3:18 PM (GMT 0)
You know Todd, it really is the stuff movies are made of. Be sure to get a good lawyer for the rights to your story. It is really unbelievable that the person you hit was on his way to a meeting and you went with him. Talk about fate.

I think that sometimes when you sink to the low point in your life, and climbed back up from it, only then can you have the credibility to help others that may be in a similar situation that you were in. Thanks for helping others and doing what you do. We all make choices in our lives every day. Seems like you are making some really good ones at this point in your life. It's a gift to be able to appreciate what you have.
