Thank you for the ping, 'Dita.
At first, I choked up when I saw it, but then I could feel the joy as more people have gathered here to continue to prays for Mr. Tonk and surround him with love.
It alarms some people to see activity on this thread or be pinged, as "something may have happened," but I notice that the prayer postings continue as the Spirit so moves people.
He seemed so shy for the first year or so that I was here and posting on the Canteen. He started very gradually posting personal responses to some of us. Then, finally, one day he posted a picture of himself and CG buddies and signed his post, Brian. I thought that was sweet.
So, sometimes I refer to him as Brian and sometimes as Mr. Tonkin, which I think is very fitting. God knows his real name.
I like your thoughts about praying for happiness, Pinz. I think that's perfect.
