Tom McMahon's life lessons

Caring for a son who suffered a brain injury and who is unable to walk, talk or feed himself, Tom McMahon learned many things, a few of which are:

  • Some run away
  • Big companies don't help
  • Just muddle through can be the best advice
  • Everyone wants to help save the Earth, but nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes

Tom shows us what it is to be a man, to do his duty, to learn that everyone has a story and his is not the worst.

He reminds me of what Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote, "If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we would find in each man's life a sorrow and a suffering enough to disarm all hostility.

You don't want to miss What I have learned in 15 years by Tom McMahon, and once you look around, you'll want to bookmark his blog.

Very funny and sometimes profound, Tom doesn't rant and rage. He wears well that Tom.
