The history of the Thomas family mirrors the history, struggles,
and successes of America. Starting in the 1600s, my ancestors came
from Europe and helped settle and build the country; fought in the
battles that defined the nation; lost their jobs in the Great
Depression, and then enjoyed the prosperity of 20th century
America. Along the way was a soldier who fought with George
Washington in Braddock's Expedition; four veterans of the American
Revolution; a father and son who served on opposite sides during
the Civil War, and the engineer who kept the Washington Monument
running in it's early days. This book, a family history of my
parents and their ancestors, tells their stories and presents the
lineage of my family.

WE MUST CARRY ON is more than an autobiography of one man's triumph
over tragedy. It crosses over into the self-help genre to inspire
others to use their hardships as motivational tools. Profound and
vital messages abound for anyone battling depression or challenged
by personal loss. WE MUST CARRY ON follows the path of first time
author Bob Thomas, as he bares his soul regarding the tragedies he
has endured. His father committed suicide two years after being
exposed as an incestuous pedophile in a small town in Ontario. His
own downward spiral into depression and near suicide was not the
only major setback on his life-path. In 2003, fate dealt another
nearly lethal blow - the loss of his young daughter to cancer. Her
memory became the inspiration for a successful fundraiser for
Childhood Cancer. Now his battle with depression and dealing with
his own abuse have driven him to complete this cathartic memoir to
help others do battle with their own demons. WE MUST CARRY ON
explains how we can turn tragedy into fuel for positive change.
With determination and fortitude, we can climb up on top of the
boulders that suddenly drop and block our path. With the
perspective from that altitude, we can see where we are supposed to
go, and that boulder can provide the jumping off point to propel us
forward.
