Thank you RR and back at ya:blowkiss:

I did my very best--hoping theres a recount or something and Tom comes through with the win but wont know till monday as it stands now there was only 3% difference with the "politics" guy ahead-
Tommy called me at 7 am yesterday morning to work his boards for him ( since he was running all day) between postng on his boards, bulletins ,sending messages, etc and going to my own, and calling Tom with updates it was an emotional roller coaster and really took it out of me -- I was so tired last night ---physically and emotionally drained.
Tom did make a point to be sure and let everyone know he truly appreciated your time , prayers and voting--- he's such a nice guy and a great friend to me.

This was written for Tom by a sweet lady name Felicia..it's very beautiful and meant so much to Tom.

"A Easter Impact Award Letter From the children in Heaven"


To our dearest Tom & family, some things we would like to say.... but first of all, to let you know, that we all arrived .. We are writing this from heaven. Here we dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.


Please do not be unhappy ..........
Remember that "we"are with you Tom, every mile,morning, noon and night. Until that day when you finish our race .
Each one of us is cheering you on and we picked you up and hugged you,waking and running, sleeping,every minute of every hour and we, joyfully whisper, "I welcome you.",i love you ,Your making a impact on Our old world.

There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."


God gave me a list of things, that he wished for us to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and all of us are closest to you...in the middle of the night.


When you think of all of our lives life on earth, and all those loving years, because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.



There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...that as you give unto the world, HEAVEN will give to you.


If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented...that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made these children smile.


So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.


And when it's time for you to go...from that body to be free, remember ....we will all be waiting to kiss and hug you for all your doing to make an impact for all our loved ones and those that will come before you here......We are at the Throne of God ,gleefully clapping and cheering you on....loving you every moment...we are here!

Walking or running may help you save on gas but when you're running for more than 3,000 miles in 90 days. It can be extremely painful to your body unless you're running for a very good cause. Tom Bassano says running for the innocent is well worth the effort.
Bassano says he was hurt and outraged when he heard the news about little Jessica Marie Lunsford being killed by a convicted sexual predator in Florida. How could he help prevent such a nightmare from happening to other children? He started running. On March 2, he left San Diego California. His goal is to reach Daytona Beach Florida in less than 90 days. He's trying to raise awareness and support for child advocacy centers across the country.
News 5 caught up with him in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.
Bassano says he put in about 50 miles today and he has another 54 miles to go in order to meet the Dauphin Island Ferry at 8:00 on Thursday morning for a free ride across Mobile Bay.

Wow, what Mr. Bassano is doing is so inspiring. The world needs more people like him! I was deeply saddened and angered by what happened to Jessica Lunsford and I applaud the people who are doing what they can to raise awareness.

Did he make it all the way to Florida? What a wonderful thing for this man to do....thanks for this Windchime.
