Tom has spent the last 6 weeks in hospital following his 3rd operation. He is now going through chemo and radiotherapy again. Tom is terribly week, but we will celebrate his 50th birthday this Sunday. And I have a birthday wish for him:
Life is beautiful and miracles do exist! So please send Tom all the energy and love you have for his birthday.
A big thank you to all of you.
Milena
Milena,
Please send warmest birthday greetings to Tom from Norma and me. More love and strength to him in his continued fight, because he is doing the only thing there is to do, which to try absolutely every possible cure and treatment.
Continued strength to you also in your support of Tom and to the girls. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Whishing the very best for Tom from the bottom of our hearts! Sending tons of energy and thoughts!
We are thinking of you and carry the deepest respect for your strength to manage.
Big hug from all of us!
Natalie, Kira, Marc & Thomas
Ich wuensche Euch beiden viel Kraft auf diesem langen Weg.
Von guten Maechten wunderbar geborgen,
erwarten wir getrost, was kommen mag.
Gott ist mit uns am Abend und am Morgen
und ganz gewiss an jedem neuen Tag.

Herzlichen Glueckwunsch zum Geburtstag!!!

I can tell you that 50 is great age and that real life starts right now and I & the other usual suspects( Mario, Alex, Marko, Fritz etc.)want to wish from the bottom of our heart that you will be able to experience some of these years with your family and friends.
I said it before and I repeat:
I admire your and Melenas@the girls strong fighting spirit!
Happy B-day, Dennis and hang in there.
Love Finn, Valerie, Milan & Siena
Happy 50th to Tom – I thought of you all often this weekend. I hope it was a good birthday celebration despite the surroundings. Keep up the good fight – sending hugs to you all –

Happy Birthday Tom!!! You are beating me to 50 (but not by much!) Wish I could be there to give you a big birthday hug! I guess Milena will have to take care of that for me. Thanks, Milena, for filling everyone in! Big hug to you and the girls, too!!! Kim
Happy Birthday Dear Dennis! Receive alot of kisses and a BIG BIG HUG, even if you are 50 and by the way probably me too you will be always 25 to me. You will always live in my mind and in my heart. And I do not care if Milena get jealous. Keep fighting tiger. Bisou Bisou and lots of love Carime.
Hi Tom!
You don’t know me, but I am a friend of Kim Banks and I was just dropping by to wish you Happy Birthday! Sounds like you have been going through some pretty tough times. I am so sorry. Life is hard enough on it’s own without throwing in chemo, radiation and surgery for a brain tumor. I hope that you are healing and on your way to feeling better. You sound like a very funny person and I know if you’re a friend of Kim’s you’re a great person.
I will pray for your healing and that each day you will continue to feel better and stronger. I hope that you will spend your birthday with the people you love doing the things that make you happy.
Take care and Happy 50th!

Hi Tom,
I am Kim’s stepmom. I’ve been following your blog since day one. and I remember Kim talking about you and Milena when she was living in Switzerland many moons ago. Anyway, I want to send birthday wishes to you..I’m not clear on whether it was last Sunday, or this coming Sunday. No matter..just a square on the calendar, right?
I have loved your spirit and your pleasure in food/wine/life!
Dig deep and keep that spirit! Know that so very many people are rooting for you!! my very best, Betsy
Belated birthday wishes to Tom. I was 50 this year and the only way a man can react to this milestone is to ignore it and ontinue acting like a teenager. I hope Tom regains the strength to do this.
Thinking of you.
