Humanity is a strength that most have, but few show for fear of ridicule. But we show it to ourselves when we are alone. Fear not Tom. There are hundreds of thousands who feel the same at night. You have that special quality to feel and to reassure others. Think of those who see their blood ebbing from horrific wounds and how they feel hope when they see you. Of the lives you have saved and the families who will be eternally grateful for your actions and will remember you to the end. You never know, there may be a child called after you. Please take solace that those who read your words go to bed and feel the same because of your eloquent portrayal of life as you feel it. And we all know one thing. If ever we need the help of a medic, we would be so pleased to have Tom Reynolds alongside us.
