As I read some of the responses to your blogs, I am finding people who feel the same as me. Your blogs are like free counseling for me! Your music has truly given me the desire to “carry on”. I can escape, (or as you once said you can never really escape but perhaps be temporarily removed) from life and difficult times and your music is the light at the end of the tunnel. You once wrote “I wish I could wipe away the darkness some people live in”. I hope you know now that your music has done that for me and so many others! I also, like another “fan”, have loved other artists over the years but now listen to little of anything but your music. All of it. It is what I need now. It speaks to me, livens me, consoles me like no other. Thanks for sharing so much with us. Have a great time in Asia and keep enjoying the family time these next couple of months. Count your blessings. Oh…. and kiss Rock’s big toe for me, there is nothing like sweet baby toes! Peace, Teripatmonahan:

I’ve been very family lately so I have kind of been away but please except my deepest thank you for the wonderful life you’ve given me and my family. Train fans and friends are kind and thoughtful and so what I’m trying to be more of.
I hope that we get many more years of sharing life moments…
