To some, this might seem a tall tale, suitable to hang in the hallways of legend, and fit for the realms of folklore and fantasy. Some have called it a ‘dream,’ while others a ‘wild story of imagination.’ Yet to me—it is very real. I’ll leave that for you to decide…

Quotes from The Ghost Deer:
“Dad and Mom taught me about character my whole life, but it wasn’t until now that I understood what it meant.”- Tater Thompson
*****
“Fear is a master you do not want.” – Rod Thompson (Tater’s Dad)
*****
“Just remember, the only part you have control over is whether you choose to quit or keep trying. You are the master of your thoughts and actions—not anyone else. What you choose to think will control what you choose to see, and what you choose to see will rule what you choose to do… When this is through, you may find you have won more than freedom from________. You may very well find you have gained freedom from the prisons within yourself.” – Silas Thompson (Tater’s Grandpa)
