Tyler
Dear God, how many people are in heaven? Must be a lot. I know two, and I'm only eight. Can you see the stars from heaven? My dad said You made them all. I'm really glad to be home from the hospital.
I learned a new word today. Medu...lloblastoma...or something. My mom says I'll be sick for a while, but it will be okay.
Why am I sick, God? The medicine stinks. But I don't have to take my spelling test this week, so that's good...
...But most of all, I really just wish my mom would laugh. I miss that the most.
Dear God, my first day back at school was very exciting. I forgot to tell Sam to do what Jesus would do. We all ended up in the principal's office to sort things out. My mom came for me and Sam. I'm not sure who she was more worried about. On the way home, Mom tried to be very firm. But when Sam told her how mashed potatoes were stuck up Alex's nose, she laughed and laughed. Now I know You're getting my letters. Because only You could figure out a way to make her laugh. We got home just when the mailman was at her house. I guess all the excitement got to me, because I threw up on his shoes. My mom couldn't believe it. All she could do was laugh. All in all, God, it was a very good day.
Dear God, I feel yucky today, but Sam really wants to climb trees. I already threw up three times this morning though. Sam's going to need another friend you know. Someone who likes to climb trees. Her grandfather is a lot of fun but I don't think he can climb trees.
...And, God...please help me to tell Ben that I broke his guitar string. I didn't want to tell him but I think he knows. Help Ben forgive me . He's the best brother in the whole world.
God, do You think You can find somebody for Mom? She's been so lonely since Dad went to heaven. Could You send someone that could make her happy?
I know it must be hard on Mrs . Baker, because babies cry a lot. She misses her husband, too. But she still finds time to make us stuff. Don't tell Mom, but Mrs. Baker's fried chicken is way better.
I think I will be seeing You soon. I'm not feeling better like I used to. Before I die, can You help my friend Mr.Brady? He's so cool, and he has a boy. But I don't think they see each other. Could You tell Mr. Brady's heart 'it's going to be okay.'
Ben
Dear God, I'm writing this only because my brother asked me to. I've lost everything, all the big stuff, like my dad . And now with Ty being sick...I mean, all the normal stuff like going to concerts and having cookouts. Can't Tyler just get better? I don't think he deserves this. I know Mom loves me, but sometimes she just doesn't have the time. I think she wishes it was me sick and not Tyler. Who can blame her?
Granna
Dear Heavenly Father, You sure knew what You were doing when You picked my daughter to be Tyler's mother. Thank You for giving us all a glimpse of eternity through his life.
Brady
Dear God, it took Tyler's faith and his letters to convince me to believe in You. Thank You for giving Your Son, and for giving me back mine.
Samantha
Dear God, Tyler was the best friend ever. I didn't get to tell him, but when we prayed with Alex, I asked You to come into my heart, too. I know now that I have forever-lasting life.
