Thank you Tam, Alece , and Kass, for the comfort you give the Frankl family by being present at Sara's memorial service.

Sara's spirit reaches out to all of us no matter the distance between us.

Have a safe trip. Will you let Kass will be doing any of the driving. :)

I am sorry for you loss Tam. My condolences to your cousin's family.

I also share your anger at the great waste of lives lost to drugs, and all the other vices, that devalue life.

Finding faith is the difference between ending our lives with a needle in our arm, or being able to choose joy in how we live, as Sara taught us.

We have been blessed to have felt the joy that springs from Sara's heart, and is found in every action she has taken in her life.

I hope we can learn this lesson and face all of life's challenges with a joyous heart as Sara has.

I hope you are fully healed. At least that is one less organ you have to worry about.

I do hang with a slightly older crowd, where any operation is an excuse to show off yet another scar. I don't really find any of these trophies particularly inspiring.

I am a loner by nature, my guess is that's the result of a childhood spent mostly by myself.. My perceived neglect lead to an attitude of "If no cares about me, than I won't care about anyone else." Fear and low self-esteem are a part of this as well.

When I was around 10 I started having stomach pains. I told no one. It wasn't until I fainted in the bathroom that I was rushed to the Hospital with an appendix that almost burst.

I think pride and fear are the biggest reasons we go it alone.

Congratulations on getting your book published. Your blog has helped many and I am sure your book will do the same.

Any time spent in beautiful San Francisco is food for the soul, as long as we look past the traffic and fog :).

The beach and park are my favorites, but really anywhere I take the time to stop and breath in life.

If you don't mind everyone in the blog, twitter, facebook(?) world to know your name than the simplest thing is to go by it. The only reason to use something other than your real name is if it is already being used, or you want to maintain some degree of anoymity.

If you want to make it easy for any one who reads your book to find you on twitter than it is better to use your real name.

I am looking forward to seeing your name on the best sellers list. Then Brent will be know as Tam Hodge's husband.

It is great to read that Brent is recovering. It was awful to read what you guys went through. Nothing like a trip to the ER to wake us up to the reality of how fragile life can be. I hope Kass and Kota are coping well with what must be a very freighting experience for you all.

None of us has a clue what each day will bring, which is why it is so important to cherish each moment.

Brent is healthier today then he was yesterday, he just didn't know it. I am sure he also knows how lucky he is to have someone with your strength by his side. The doctors will take care of his physical health. You, his children, his church, his faith, will ensure his spirit stays strong.

I was going to wish you a great new year, I think I'll just wish a great new day, for each and every day in 2011.

I got the best present of all, I was filled with the spirit of Christmas watching my neighbors kids playing with their shiny new toys.

I have no family left so Christmas shopping at the mall is one joy of the season I don't need to experience anymore, thankfully.
