Letters to God Page #5

Really?

Yeah, really.

Okay.

(Sighs)

Ohh.

(Police radio)

Roger. Unit 72 responding. D.U.I. Suspect.

We have a minor boy in the back seat.

D.U.I. Suspect being booked.

(Cell door closes)

(Jack) Your son was in the back seat?

This is different, Brady. I don't...

I don't think I can help you out of this one.

(Clang)

(Jack) Brady?

Brady?

Brady!

You coming in? The game's on.

Oh. Um...

No.

I'll... I'll see you later, Jack.

(Choir)

... with sweet satisfaction

And caused you to sing

Have you tried Jesus?

For life's deepest problem

The full redemption

From bondage to sin

You'll never regret that

You've opened your heart's door

In willing surrender

And let Him come in

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh

That was just beautiful.

That was beautiful, choir.

Gary, thank you.

Thank you, Pastor.

- I'll see you guys Sunday morning, all right?

- We'll be here.

(Overlapping chatter)

(Lester) Hey, Brady, wait up.

Why don't you and I, uh...

go walk and talk a little bit?

You mind if we sit a while?

My mailman's knee is flaring up on me.

Oh, sure. Sure.

You need some water or something?

Just sit for a while.

You know, you're in the right place

if you have something to work out.

I'm afraid it's too late for me.

Nah. Never too late

when you put it in His hands.

(Sighs)

It's just that lately...

No. What am I saying?

It's not lately.

It's been going on for a couple of years.

It feels like...

just about everything I touch...

turns to dust.

Everything feels like it's slipping

through my fingers.

I can't hold on to anything.

Hold out your hands.

Come on.

Now put them together.

Intertwine your fingers.

Now nothing can slip through.

I think you're right where

you're supposed to be.

I don't know where that is.

I'd say you're right in

the palm of God's hands.

(Sobs) I'm losing my son.

(Sobbing)

(Maddy sobs) I can't lose him, Mom.

I know, honey.

It's so hard.

Ohh.

I'll never make it through this.

Yes, you will.

We all will.

I mean, with Patrick, it was so sudden.

You know, I didn't...

I didn't even have time to react.

You know? I just...

kept moving forward because of the boys.

You know, I've always been the one

who tells everyone else to be strong, and...

have faith.

But look at me, I'm a mess.

Honey, you're the strongest person I know.

And you're a great mom.

You're not alone, dear.

God has never left you,

and he never will.

Yeah, I know.

"Stay strong, Maddy."

"Trust God, Maddy."

"Whatever His will, Maddy."

Well, you know what?

I don't agree with His will, Mom!

I have a little boy in there who's dying.

Do you think he cares about God's will?

Well, he seems to.

He writes letters to him every day.

I don't want to hear that, okay?

I don't think God cares about any of this.

Oh, Maddy, that's so far from the truth.

Remember about the mustard seed?

God said...

I just wish everyone would stop

quoting the Bible to me!

It's not curing my son!

(Sighs)

Um... C-4.

Miss. C-7? (Laughs)

Hey, Sam, your grandpa wants you home.

Okay.

See you, Ty.

See you.

Sorry you have to go back

to the hospital, Tyler.

Wait. I have something for you.

Okay.

Can you give this to Alex?

Alex?

You wrote a letter to Alex?

Yes. Just so he knows I'm not mad.

Okay. But if he makes fun of this,

I'm gonna punch him.

Samantha, you're the...

I know.

I'm the peacemaker.

See you.

(Machine beeping)

Okay, Ty. Here we go.

Mom, do you want to hold the line

so it warms the cells up?

Okay, baby.

(Gasps)

It's okay, sweetheart.

I'm right here.

- (Granna) What are you doing on this floor?

- Just helping out.

- He's my favorite patient, you know.

- He's awful cute, isn't he?

Well, your relief is here.

Hey, Mom.

(Sighs)

Are you sure?

Sure I'm sure.

Okay. Mmm.

- I'll keep an eye on him.

- Okay, thank you.

A few hours?

Take all the time you need.

Thank you.

Hey.

( Anne Marie:
Everything is Beautiful)

(Maddy) Ben?

You home?

I would not be here tonight

If I had to choose

It's always the bigger things in life

That seem to choose you

You can say what you want

Believe what you will believe

Yeah...

We miss you.

But tell God He can't have him.

... need to see

When I'm buried in the questions

I can't find the answers

I close my eyes and listen

Till I remember

Everything was beautiful

Nothing seemed to matter

Every day was just another day

To dream...

(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 Tylerjust 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?"

Everything is beautiful

Everything is beautiful...

What?

- Here

- Is it Tyler?

Nope.

We're going to get your license.

- What?!

- Yep.

Let's go, let's go.

I'm a busy woman.

(Teacher) I don't know when he'll be back,

but I do know he's back in the hospital.

But I think it would be nice

if we all did something special for Tyler,

to let him know that

we're thinking about him.

Any ideas?

John.

We could get him a soccer ball.

When I had my tonsils out, I got one.

That's a good one. Sally?

How about making him a card,

and everyone can sign it?

(Teacher) Okay.

- Miss Emily?

- Yes, Alex?

I have an idea.

(Knock on door)

Brady.

- Is this where they keep the soccer stars?

- Hi. Great surprise.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Kaboom. Huh?

Thanks.

And... I've got two more surprises for you.

What?

Ohh! Sweetie!

You look so pretty!

Thank you.

Hi, Tyler.

(Alex) "Dear Mr. God,

it's me... Alex Wheaten.

"I'm writing You because

"I made fun of a kid at my school.

"He has cancer.

"His name is Tyler.

Do You know him?

"Well, he says You do."

Mom, can I show them the play area?

Yeah, of course.

(Alex) "I'm feeling bad,

"and I thought if You told him I was sorry,

"then that would be really cool.

"He told me he was going to heaven

to be with You if he died.

"And it got me thinking...

what if I died?

"Will I go to heaven?"

Here's the thing.

I know you have to love God

and be sorry for your sins.

Pray and open your heart to Jesus.

Come on, let's try it.

You know, we can all hold hands.

Try it, come on.

I'll pray, and...

you pray in your heart.

Got it.

Dear God...

help Alex find the door in his heart

and let You in.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Amen.

(Granna) Okay, kids, time to go.

(Alex)

"I'm not sure about the holding hands part,

"but the rest of it was pretty cool.

"Love, Alex."

Is everything all right?

Well...

young man...

you are out of here.

(All cheering)

- (Nurses, clapping)

- No more chemo!

No more chemo!

(All cheering)

All right!

(Overlapping chatter and cheers)

- Maddy.

- Yeah?

I have to be frank with you.

This tumor was very...
