| entry: | Wow, you would be 23 today! unbelievable, still remember that hopeful young man of 14 years, what would you be like now? we often wonder. Just chatting about when you were born, it was the happiest day of our lives and when you were taken from us, it was so painful, nobody should have to bury their child, the days are empty without you son. Happy heavenly birthday Tom, we miss you so much. Love Mum and Dad. |

| entry: | Just got back from New Milton. We were one of the first to stay at "Toms". What can I say, everything was perfect (even the weather). Such a relaxing time was had by all the family. Everything was there that you needed and hadn't thought of before we left. Thank you so much for all your hard work, that lets families just be families for a while and leave everything else behind for a little while.
Thanks again. |

| entry: | Hello
On a Sunday afternoon I was surfing the net with my dad, when he decided if he could find any other Thomas Ball's on the net, and we found this website. The strength and courage of your Thomas is a very sad story but very inspiring for other children around the world. Luckily, I have not been so sick, but the story of this Thomas Ball makes me realise how lucky I am, and I should live my life to the full and always do my best. Thankyou for telling us about your son. He must have been very special. Regards Thomas Ball (aged 8) Penrith, New South Wales, Australia |

It was a very touching story to read about his life and he will always be watching down on you and helping find a cure for this nasty illness. He is an inspiration to the world.
