    HI Tom and Ashley, Just read your post on the main page to MB and I LOVE YOUR post. I'm thrilled for Ashley and you both!! Michael is a WINNER in my eyes, especially when I read about stories like this.. MB adores his fans, and he isn't afraid to show that.. AWWWW
    Tell Ashley I am very very happy for her!!!!!
    Robin :)

    Hi Tom, I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your concert experience after DWTS with us! Aww, I'll bet Ashley is still on cloud 9, that was so very sweet of Michael! Take care and God bless! Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada
  • sylvie boisvert

    Hi Tom and thanks for your response. Aww, you’re very sweet yourself sir! I had read your story on the first comment you posted on Michael’s blog and I can’t imagine what yours and Ashley’s lives have been like since the bombing… It sounds like you’re doing your very best to make her life as normal as possible and Ashley is very fortunate to have such a caring dad! Oh I know Michael’s compassion is exemplary and Gail Atkinson is a saint: I love her to bits. She’s always gone the extra mile for my friend Robin and I because we’re blind. So obviously, your pictures would be lost on Robin and me, but it’s too bad someone can’t take pictures of you guys with Michael during concerts… I’m really glad for Ashley that she’s found somebody as special as Michael as a hero… Oh, it’s okay to cry Tom, especially when they’re happy tears! Well, keep up the good work Tom and I’m sending you a big virtual hug, take care. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

    Hi Tom, I know how difficult yout life is with your daughter. I have a brother who is 40 years old. He became brain damage when he was born. He was strangled by the umbelical cord and lost oxygen to the brain. He does not see in one eye, has epilepsy and is sweet as a young child. 2 years ago my dad died and last year my mother and I had to place my brother into a home. It was the hardest thing in my life. But the home is 20 minutes from my house and we spend time with him on the weekend, so that is a plus. We all have problems and make the best of it. I have added you as a friend and hope you accept. Take care, Helena
  • joan barnett

    hi tom ashley look in your message box i sent u another message love jo xxx
  • Helena

    Hi Tom,

    The home we found for my brother is run by YAI. There are 10 of them that live there both male and female. They have a nice staff of workers and the lady in charge is also nice. He also goes to a program during school hours that is run by Heartshare. Does Ashley go to a program? Gotta go, will write again...Helena

    Hi Tom, I recently read your post on the “2010 concert tour review” thread about “When I’m back on my feet again” and i’m with you about Michael singing it in concert again. This morning, I was listening to a CD and it reminded me of my second favorite version of it: my very favorite being the live version on the VHS tape “This is Michael Bolton”. So, here’s the link to the page you can find it:
    http://www.michaelboltonphotos.com/soundfiles.shtml
    You scroll down and find the version that says:”with piano accompaniment”. You can even download it from there. It’s really beautiful and I hope you love it as much as I do. Take care Tom and let me know what you think once you hear it. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada
  • sylvie boisvert

    Hi Tom, thanks for the friends invite, it’ll be an honor for me to be the friend of an awesome dad!  BTW, I’m really glad Ashley is enjoying the site but I’m not sure how long it will still be around, because my friend Jan who’s the webmaster is thinking of not renewing it so if there’s anything Ashley wants, she’d better save it A.S.A.P. I’m really glad for Ashley that she picked such a wonderful person as a hero. May I ask how her fascination for Michael started? Just curious. Well, you’re very welcome for the link Tom and thanks again for the friends invite. Take care. Hugs to both you and Ashley, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada P.S.: Wasn't the song just marvelous?
  • Gail

    Tom, I'm sorry I don't know her. Looking at facebook she must be a PR person. You can write to her through facebook. Hopefully, she can help you...let me know. Gail
  • Gail

    Oh Tom...I love this picture. I also love the one of the three of you...I'm so glad you were finally able to get them. Was it the person Elaine told you about? Thank you so much for sharing them!!! Love, Gail

    Hi Ashley and Tom, thanks for sharing this incredible picture of Ashley and Michael and for putting a huge smile on my face. Ashley, I think you are one of the luckiest girls in the world to be able to travel around, go see Michael in concert and actually meet him. Wow! It doesn’t get much better than that. Tom, helping to make your daughter’s dreams come true and bringing her such happiness – you know what love is all about...
    Take Care,
    Lorie
  • Lorie

    Tom, what a fun time it has been for you and Ashley this past week. I’m not familiar with the Neville brother’s music but you got my curiosity going. I’ll check it out along with my 16-year-old son. He’s a musician and a real music buff. Thanks for sharing…Love the picture! Lorie

    Hello Tom, I have just seen both photos with Michael and your daughter. There are wunderful, I love them very very much and wish you and Ashley merry Christmas. Michael seems to have a very big warm heart !!! Just look at the picture he kisses Ashley. It´s a real feeling !!

    Many regards from Prague, Czech Republic

    Ivana

  • Ivana

    Dear Ashley!

    thank you for your message.

    I have to look at your pictures again and again !! You are the only one woman of this forum Michael kissed !!! Oh God, what would I give for this moment ?? One million dollars? (I do not have them :-)), or 1 month of my life? Do I understand well, Michael was at your home? Michael´s car stopped in front of your home and he came in and sat by you on the sofa? Incredible !! I am so happy for you !! But also sad he has never come around by my home :-))

    No, Ashley, I haven´t any childern. I am 45 years old woman living in Europe in the Czech Republik. The capital Prague is a beautiful city. Michael gave his very first concert on here 2 years ago and made me cry singing "Nesun Dorma". Do you know this song? From this moment forth, I have been following him in Europe and love him very very much.

    What happened to you that you cannot walk? I can only see your photo darling. Did you have any automobile accident? 

    I wish you and your dad merry Christmas and am looking forward to hearing from you and your dad again.

    Your friend from a far snowy Europe

  • Gail

    Oh my goodness Tom, please tell Ashley I'm thinking about her and I hope she gets well soon and hopefully the sickness she had will not get you!  So glad you have the tickets for the 3 shows and such great seats.  I would love to meet you guys too but I'm on the East Coast and don't get out to the west coast.  I did for Michael's event last year but not sure about this year...maybe one day we will meet.  Please both of you take care! Gail

    Hi Tom, I was just going over the upcoming tour dates Michael has and I remembered you and Ashley go to California concerts a lot. I was coming here just to ask you if you guys were going and read that you're going to 4, wow! Well, hope you guys enjoy the shows and comment on them on the "new 2011 tour  review" thread and that you're able to meet a few Bolton buddies there! Take care and hope both you and Ashley are doing well. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada
  • Gail

    Tom, I hope you and Ashley are having a great time.  I wanted to give you this link because you can see Michael give Ashley a kiss as he goes back to the stage...a keepsake!  Love, Gail

    Hi tom,

     

    I heard you&Ashlie saw Michael Saturday and are going Thursday. Awesome. I'm glad for you both especially Ashlie. Due to lack of public transportation, though I live in L. A., I'm unable to attend but another place another time. Did yawl get to speak with Michael? I heard Michael kissed Ashlie on the cheek. Awesome&that it is seen on youtube. Now. How awesome is that? Cool.

    HI Ashley,

    You don't know me but I've seen pictures of you...and I heard how much you love Michael Bolton!

    So do I! Your new friend Kathy told Us All about your wonderful time together! I loved the story, and I just

    wanted you to know how much I liked knowing you had a great time! And BTW how many kisses have

    you gave away to Michael? I know he always gives you a Kiss on the cheek from what I hear!

    You Lucky girl, you:)!  I'm so happy for you to have a great time with Michael!

  • Gail

    Hey Tom, I'm afraid I'm not going this year. I went last year but I had other family commentments and couldn't go this time.  You guys have a wonderful time. I've heard from a number of people going this time.  Hope Ashley is feeling ok!  Gail
  • robin rehder

    Hi Tom, I got your message. Hope I'm doing this right. Gosh. I'm sorry Ashley had to have surgery on her right arm? I'm curious. What kind of surgery did she have to have? I had my left hand operated on 4/28/10. I had carpel tunnel syndrome&my doctor had to remove bones from the base of my thumb dur to bones fusing due to arthritis eatingthe cartilage. Hope yawl can go to the shows 8/28,30,&9/10/11. I'm going to the one in Vegas. How many backstage passes did yawl have this year? Cool. I've never had one in all the 18 years but that's ok. Robin
