I just messaged Tom on FB. We haven't communicated much directly but whenever we have he has always been positive and supportive. I'm glad to hear he is now back at home and on the mend. I'm especially sensitve to stories like this right now because we are in the midst of a serious family medical emergency here ourselves. I'm sure once Tom gets wind of all the support and good feelings pouring into Toledo from all over the US and beyond it will do his heart good and hopefully speed his recovery.

I have no idea why i stopped getting MOPO posts perhaps because I was not at my computer so long..?Thanks forthe kind words.. since 2010 I had 3 hospital stays as a result of diabetes, my foot, my eyes andeven 4 heart stents as they said my heart was only 20% working.. all alongIkept saying I thinkim infected noone would listen. the March 26 they say you sepsis and pnomonia and was on IV antibiotics in a nurse home 36 days... now the foots healing after a open wound 8 months! I am hoping to geton my feet again butstill need to rest up.. I used allmy savings up asI had no assitance... Ijust got medicaid that will pay the hospitaland docs hopefully..Its been a spiritual journey.. My son and GOd gotme through this and also the DOCS. I am so Blessed and thankful. best,Tom" But since we haven't seen him here (yet) there is no telling if the computer where he is can connect here. I asked him for his Postal address and I will post it when he sends it. Meanwhile I told him lots of people posted here wishing him well.

Don't think I've ever seen a post from him containing an unkind or judgmental word about anyone. In his own strange, unique, child-like way, I think he's taught us all quite a bit over the years. I hope we hear from him again soon... Rick In a message dated 5/12/2012 6:57:43 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: We've had a connection for many years. Tom always knows what to say to me and he knows we all love him. Please let's do what Tom would want. He'd want us to pray for him. He has mine and I hope he's back soon. He's one of the most spiritual people I've even known. Such an amazing soul... the epitome of the word mensch.

Ive been in a hospitalthe last month since march 26th then a nurseing home... so ilost my mopo contact. please advise.. whats mopoadress to post?" Given the spelling and odd spacing, it is obviously really from Tom! Of course I sent him the info and hope he posts very soon. But I am so sad to know he is in a nursing home. I hope he is being well cared for. Maybe all of us at MoPo who are his friends can do something for him. Any ideas?
