Welcome to Tales By Tom. This is the third installment of Life is an Attitude ---pick a good one

This series takes a look at people's attitudes and how that attitude effects the world around them.

The Real Story ---I mean the real one--- about Adam's and Eve's Pets: It's a story you may never have heard. God sent them three, but in the end they didn't work out. But two others might. Life even then was an attitude.

There Was This Obituary: It's not been in any newspapers, but its passing has been sadly and sorely noted.

Recently my father, Tom Cagley Sr published a new book titled, I Was Your Son: A Troubled Journey.  The book is a view into Tom Cagley Sr's soul.  When asked why should anyone read this book ?  He answered, "Because the end effect is restorative and invigorating and because everyone who’s ever had a father like this wants to believe there is a happy way out." 

A recent review stated it even more powerfully, "I love this book; it is a very telling, touching story of one man's troubled past with his father who obviously had problems of his own. He had no love for his son in his being beyond childhood. I feel so very much for Tom; he was disconnected from his Dad for no good reason; never able to see or talk to him again---not his problem, but scared him none the less.

This story is a lesson in how not to act as a father. His father did not apply the story of the prodigal son in the bible; that is the kind of love we should have for our children. I pray that in telling his story, this book will be help Tom heal and go forward and help those who read it never to make the same mistake, as his father."
