"Good day, Mr. Finley." "Good day, Ms. Miller." "Well..." "Rooster!" "You out, boy?" "Got him, Mr. Finley." " Morning, Mrs. Baker." " Morning." "Hello, Mr. Perryfield." "I am sorry I'm a little late." "It's about time." "I was about to go inside." "There's a storm coming, and my hip's killing me." "I'm sorry to hear that, sir." "Now, you don't think I'm gonna sit around all day waiting for you when the cold comes, do you?" "No, sir." "Be careful with that top step there." "It gives a little." "Here goes." "Uhh." "Ah." "Yuck!" "Blech!" "And good morning to you!" "Good morning, Mr. Finley!" "Good morning, Sheila." "Beautiful day, isn't it?" " Sure is." " How's Jimmy?" " He's doing real good." " Good." "You take care now, huh?" "All right." "You, too." "Les?" "About this Brady McDaniels, he's already missed several days this month." "I can't keep covering." "Hey, Mr. Mullins, go look up the word "fragile"." "Uh, "Les"?" "When did I become "Les"?" "Sorry, uh, Lester..." "Mr. Stevens." "Boss, the guy's a screw-up." "It's like he's asking to get canned." "How many days this month?" "Hey, Cathy." "Congratulations, girl." "Thanks, Mr. S." " Four." " Four?" "That's not so bad." "It's only the 12th." "Look, Carl..." "I just think there's something there worth saving." "I thought you were gone already." "I need someone good, Lester." "This has been my route for ten years." "I've been voted Best Postal Carrier seven years and counting." "I know, Walter, but it's slim pickings right now." "What about that new kid Trevor?" "Oh, he's slow as mud through a straw." " Kay." " Kay's got a month left on maternity leave." "And before you ask, Pete just got his knee scoped." "Look, Walter, it's your time now." "You've always wanted an extended leave." "You've earned it." "Go, enjoy." "I'll find the right fit." "Promise." "Okay." "But there are a few things you should know. 237, the old man..." "Cornelius Perryfield... checks the box every day at the same time." "Good-bye, Walter." "It's one trip out, and if the mail's not there, he'll call and complain." "And the Bakers' dog, 231, he'll take a chunk out of you if you don't..." "Go now." "All right." "One more thing." "Oh, Lord have mercy." "Take a look at these." "244 Laurel Lane." "Can't just shred 'em, but they keep coming." "It's like... finding a kitten on your back porch." "You can't just walk away." "I'll take care of them, Walter." "Go on home." "I'm staying in town, so call me if you need anything." "Get a life, Finley!" "No." "Get a wife." "Oh." "Ah!" "Ooh!" "No, no, no, no." "Ah-huh." "Ohh, no." "No, no, no." "Oh, another gourmet dish?" "Yeah, something like that, Mom." "Ohh." "Ohh." "Honey, nobody expects you to be Supermom." "Yeah, well, lucky for that." "Gosh, I just wanted to make a nice meal for my kids before I went back to work, and I..." "Sweetheart, you've got enough on your plate." " Here, let me have these." "Come on." " Ohh." "Mom, listen, I really appreciate you dropping everything to come here, but it's not fair to put it all on you." "I..." "Yeah, my schedule was so busy!" "Tea with the Queen and all." "Honey, that's what moms are for." "Maddy, you need this job." "I'll tell you when it gets to be too much." "Hot!" "Hot, Mom!" "That's hot!" "I'm sorry!" "Sorry, sorry." "Ah!" "I gotta go." "Thank you!" "I love you!" "Right back at you." "Honey, was that meatloaf?" "I'm busy." "Come back later." "Busy, huh?" "Have you finished your homework?" "It's not due till Friday." "What's your excuse gonna be on Thursday?" "I don't know." "I'll think of something." "Nobody likes a smart aleck, Ben." "And your room is a wreck." "Clean it, please." "Oh, and stay home while I'm gone so Granna doesn't have to worry." "Sure thing, Mom." "Like I'm gonna ride my bicycle around town and just tear it up." "Bed before 11:00." "Help Granna and check in on your brother, all right?" "Okay." "Good." "Aw, dude, he lost it." "Okay, Jimmy's got it." "Jimmy's got it." "Oh, man, he lost it to them." "Okay, he's stolen it back." "Yes!" "Yes!" "Hey, Tybo." "Wait, wait." "I'm just about to... and score!" "Okay." "Sometimes I think that gorgeous smile of yours is about the only thing that keeps me going." "You tired?" "A little." " Stomach?" " Good to go." " That's my boy." "How about your..." " Mom." "I'm good." "Okay, okay." "I gotta go." "Mwah." "Listen, you can call me any time." "You know." " Yeah, I know." " Granna will help with the meds, okay?" " Okay." " Okay." "Uhh!" "Do you even know how much I love you?" "I love you... this much." " That isn't very much." " Oh, but it is." "Because my love for you starts here and goes all the way around the world, and it ends up right back here." "Ohh!" "Whoa?" "What's this?" "That's how much I love you." "Mmm!" "Anyway..." "Granna's doing something for dinner." "I sort of... messed it up." "Really?" "You?" "Yeah." "Stop it." "I'm not that hungry anyways." "Oh, sweetie." "Please try to eat something." "Okay." "I just don't like to get sick when you're not home." "I know." "I gotta go." "Mwah." "I love you." "I'll see you in the morning." " I'll be here." " Okay." "Computers." "That's the third time I've had to reboot this thing." "Heh-heh." "Mm-hm." "Hello, gals." "Well, looky here!" "Finally!" " Hey, girl." " Hi." "Glad to have you back." "Sure is an improvement over some folk." "That's funny." "Just what I was thinking." "Well, I can see things haven't changed around here." "How's Tyler?" "He's good." "Yeah." "You know, as good as a little boy can be after having brain surgery and 30 treatments of radiation." "But he's home." "For now." "So..." "So, what does the doctor say?" "The same. "Medulloblastoma is a rare and aggressive brain cancer." ""Don't get your hopes up."" "Yeah, like I can control that." "But you know what?" "The good news is, my mom is staying for a while until things settle down." " Oh, that's great." " Yeah." "Can you give me a report on my patients, please?" "Yeah, let me..." "Okay, so, Mrs. Riley is in 406." "That little boy Matthew is in 402." "And Mr. Samuels is back again in 410." "Great." " Uh, Granna?" " Mm-hm?" "You sure you're okay with doing this?" "Oh, piece of cake." "Your mom taught me how to do it." "Um, are you sure you know how to do this, Granna?" "Cool it." "You're making me nervous." "Tyler!" "Mom's on the phone!" "He's up here and he's busy!" "Now slow." "Make sure you don't get an air bubble in my heart." "Yes, sir." " Tyler?" "What's wrong?" " Tyler, Mom wants to talk to you." " Aaaaah!" " Tyler!" " Oh!" " Tyler!" "Aah!" "Tyler!" " Aaaah!" " Tyler!" "Oh, for heaven's sake!" "That's really not funny." "You're a jerk, man." "Ben!" " I'm sorry, Granna." " Silly." " Mom!" " Maddy?" "Mom, is Tyler okay?" "Everything's fine." "Everything's okay." " You don't have to come home." " Mom, everything's fine here." "Just stay at work." "Right." "Oh, fool me once." "Oh, Maddy, I've got to call you back." "Okay." "Call me back." "Hey." "Is he okay?" "Yeah, he's okay." "Are you okay?" "No." "This whole thing stinks." "Well, I get that." "When I'm struggling with something, it really helps me to pray about it." "Pray?" "Yeah." "What are we supposed to pray for, exactly?" "Dear God... don't take Tyler." "You have Dad." "Isn't that enough?" "Oh, Ben." "Prayer is just telling God what's in your heart and asking Him to help you with it." "Well, maybe I don't want to tell God what's in my heart." "I'm afraid to ask God to help Tyler." "I mean, what if He doesn't?" "No, I can't." "Come on." "Come on." "Dear Heavenly Father..." ""Dear God..." ""how many people are in heaven?" ""Must be a lot." ""I know two, and I'm only eight."" "We are struggling, Lord." "We're scared, and we need your guidance." ""I learned a new word today." ""Medu..." "lloblastoma..." "or something." ""My mom says I'll be sick for a while," ""but it'll 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."" ""Can you see the stars from heaven?" ""My dad said You made them all." ""I'm really glad to be home from the hospital." ""But most of all," ""I really just wish my mom would laugh." ""I miss that the most."" "In Jesus' name we pray." "Amen." "Do I have to fill out a form or something?" "Spoken like a true government worker." "Yeah." "So, you're having trouble quieting those demons tonight?" "You having trouble remembering you're just the bartender?" "McDaniels, if you keep pushing people away..." "Save it." "You're not my C.O. Anymore." "Ohh." "Uhh." "All right." "Oh, and, Jack..." "Jimmy Buffett called." "He wants his shirt back." "Ha!" "♪ Haunted heart" "♪ Tortured soul" "♪ I don't know" "♪ What it means to be free" "♪ I don't know" "♪ What it means to be me" "♪ Wounded pride" "♪ Cuts so deep" "♪ I don't know" "♪ How to make it all right" "♪ I don't know" "♪ How to make it through the night" "♪ Somebody throw me a line" "♪ 'Cause I'm hanging by a thread" "♪ Hanging by a thread" "♪ And it's..." "it's just a matter of time" "♪ Till it comes undone ♪" "Oh!" "Yeah?" "McDaniels, have you lost your mind?" "I leave you a message to get your keister in here early, and not only are you not here early, you're not even here on time again." "If you're not in my office in 30 minutes..." "There's a line a mile long of people who want this job." "McDaniels, are you listening to me?" "McDaniels?" "Sam!" "It's about time." "I've been waiting for an hour." "My grandpa told me you were back." "My mom wouldn't let me come over till later." "I figured this was later." "Are you better?" "I'm working on it." "Let me look at you." "Hmm." "You don't look so bad." "I'm much better." "I think I'm going back to school even." "Oh!" "Thank goodness." "If I have to eat lunch one more day with Ashley Turner, I'll just die!" "I mean, it's horrible." "She smells like liverwurst." "Ugh!" "Well, here." "I got you this." "Sweet!" "Thanks." "Ben, get up!" "Quick!" "My mom's coming." "Hey, Tybo, you're awake." "Yep, I'm awake." "Just sitting here..." "being awake." "Oh." "Is that a new hat?" " You mean this thing?" " Mm-hm." "Mom." "So, uh..." "So, I'm going back to school today." "Right?" "You think you're up to it?" " I think so." " I don't know." "What do you think, Sam?" "I think he's ready." " Way to be stealth, Sam!" " Hi, Miss Maddy." " Hi, sweetheart." "How are you?" " I'm fine." " My grandpa told me Tyler was back." " How is your grandpa?" " He's good." " Good." "And grumpy." "Okay." "Good and grumpy, then." "If you're going to school, you ought to start getting ready." " Yes!" " Yes!" "Ah-ah-ah!" "Front door, please." "Sure, Miss Maddy." "Thank you, young lady." "See you on the bus, Ty." "Oh, no." "I've got to check him in, so he'll see you there later." "Scoot!" "Oh, come on." "A walking route?" "Yes." "You know, one foot in front of the other, point A to point B, deliver the mail in between." "If it's all the same to you, I'd rather just keep working the line." "I can't do a walking route." "Oh, you can and you will." "Uh, here's the keys." "The truck is in 27 outside, loaded and ready." "Here's your line of travel." "Heh." "Follow the mail, and you can't get lost." "Nancy's got your uniform out back." "You're already two hours behind, so I'd step on it." "Yeah." "You ready?" " Mom?" " Mm-hm?" "Do you think the kids at school will make fun of me?" "Some will." "Only because they don't know what else to say." "Hmm." "What should I do if they do?" "Wait." "I know." "I'll do what Jesus would do." "You don't have to go, you know." "No." "I have to go." "Sam needs me." "Ashley Turner smells like liverwurst." "Mmm." "I am so proud of you." "Mmm!" "You're gonna have a great day." "I'm in hell." "Good dog." "Right?" "Good dog." "Stay." "Stay!" "Stay!" "Uhh!" "Let go!" "Ohh!" "Whew!" "Whew." "Aah!" "Ohh!" "Okay." "Bad dog." "Bad dog!" "Alex?" "Can I catch his disease?" "You know, if he spits on me or something?" "No, you knucklehead." "He has cancer, not cooties." "Samantha, we don't call people names." "No, Alex, cancer is not contagious." "And Tyler's been through a lot." "He's missed over two months of school." "He's probably gonna be a little scared at first, so let's all welcome him back to class with big smiles and hugs... and kind words, Alex?" " If that's possible." " Whatever." "Okay." "While we're waiting for him to get all signed in, everybody put away your notebooks, and let's get ready for lunch." "Tyler, welcome back." "Hi, Tyler!" "Mrs. Doherty, we were just getting ready to go to lunch." "Okay, class, line up." "Line leaders?" "Everybody, line up behind Amy." " We are so glad to see Tyler." " Oh, thank you." " Is there anything I should look out for?" " Um, no." "He might get tired." "If he does, just call me." "I'll come right back and pick him up." " Okay." "I'll keep an eye on him." " Thank you." "Oh, oh, you know what?" "He still has a central medicine line, so just make sure he doesn't get submerged in water." "Sorry, that's silly." "You can stay if you'd like." "No, no." "No, I'm fine." "Thank you." "Okay." "Bye." "He'll be fine." "I'm going back so they can give me medicine from a bag" " for a few days every month." " How does that make you feel?" "Makes me feel sick." "They do that for a while." "Then I get my cells back, and then I'm done." "Did they call you "Baldy"?" "Heh." "Is that why you wear that funny hat?" "I'm warning you, Alex." "Whatever." "I bet that radiation stuff hurts, huh?" "Especially on a little wimp like you." "Nah." "But they made me lay real still, like, for five minutes a day, while this big machine points at my head and my back." "That's it?" "Is that it?" "Is that it?" "No." "There's a big laser beam, like in Star Wars, that shoots out and kills all the cancer cells." "Right, Ty?" "Well, yeah, I guess." "Huh." "Told you." " So... does that make you sick?" " Not as sick as your liverwurst makes me." "Well, not too sick." "But I heard my doctor tell my mom that I probably won't grow like I'm supposed to because of it." "Heh." "So, you're gonna stay looking like an alien?" "That's it!" ""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."" "How was..." "How was my day?" "Well, uh, let's see." "I almost got eaten by a horse, and some old man tried to chase me off his porch with a cane." "Oh, and then a kid barfed on my shoes." "That's what smells." "Boss, we've already had four complaints in one day, which is very good." " Might be a Post Office record." " Four is not so bad." "Oh, and one possible lawsuit." "Do you know a guy by the name of Cornelius Perryfield?" "God." "Letters to God." "These are from the kid who threw up on my shoes." " What am I supposed to do with these?" " It's your journey, Brady." "You decide." "If you'd been here on time, there'd have been a dead letter bin about right here." "But since it's well after 6:00, they've moved that bin over to the warehouse." "So, you might want to just gather your little letters and walk 'em over." "Thank you so much." "Ready!" "Ready, Jack." "Ready." "Isn't that what you say?" "Ready or steady?" "Well, I'm ready." "Ah, I think you've had enough." "All right." "I'll just take my business elsewhere." "You are a royal pain anyway." "Brady." "Brady." "Give me your keys, I'll pour you one more." "I don't see you taking anyone else's keys around here." "I don't see anybody else staggering around." "You can stay or you can go, but either way I'm gonna take your keys." "Hold these for a minute." "What are these?" "Uh... some kid on my route." "I don't know what to do." "How are you gonna deliver these, man?" "Doesn't seem right to shred 'em." "I don't know." "Letters to God?" "Maybe you should take 'em to church with you on Sunday." "Yeah." "Yeah, that's... that's what I'll do." "Can I help you?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "A little warning next time." "Sir." "Mr. Reverend." "I mean..." "No." "Please, call me Andy." "Andy, sure." "And you are?" "Uh, Brady." "And I was just dropping those off." "I wasn't stealing anything, I swear." "I'm sorry." "That's a bad choice of words." "I just..." "I just came in... just because..." "it's just that I think... this sick kid on my route is writing these... these letters to..." "God." "And I thought you could at least read them, and send him, uh, a gift basket or something." "That's very kind of you, going out of your way to make sure that Tyler's letters are protected." "You know him?" "Oh, yes." "Yeah, we love that family." "They've been members here for... quite a while." "With all that's happened, it's been... difficult for them." "But we certainly keep them in our prayers and check on them often." "You know, it seems to me that God put these letters in your hands for a reason." "So, maybe you should hold on to them." "No, I wouldn't..." "I don't know what to do with them." "I, uh..." "Well, first thing you're gonna do is go home and sleep it off." "And then... listen to God." "Let God tell you what to do with them." "After all, they are written to Him." "And you know you're always welcome here." "This is a great place to find answers." "Hey, can I, uh..." " can I pray for you?" " No, no." "Really, I'm good." " That's not necessary." " It's, uh..." "It's what I do." "Thank You, Lord, for Brady." "Thank You for making him caretaker of these letters, and for his heart." "Your plans are always good." "Lord, I believe You have a plan and a purpose in this." "Help Brady discover that plan, because, Lord, I know you're about to do something... wonderful." "Something more wonderful than we can possibly imagine." "In Jesus' name I pray." " Amen." " Hmm." "Well, sir... how does it feel to be on a mission for God?" "Heh-heh." "Perfect." "Shouldn't you be in school?" "No." "My mom thought I should take it easy today." "Is your mom home?" " No." "At work." " Oh." "But my Granna's here." "Granna!" "I'm sorry about your shoes yesterday." "Ah, it's all right." "Cujo down the street pretty much ruined them before you got to them, so..." "You mean Rooster?" "Oh, he's a big teddy bear." "You just gotta know what he likes." " Rooster?" " Rooster, the dog." "What is it, honey?" "Oh, hello." "Brady McDaniels." " I'm filling in for Mr. Finley." " Oh, yes." "And, uh, this is from down the street." "Uh..." "That would be Linda Baker." "She's such a dear." "Eight months pregnant and her soldier husband's away and still she's thinking about other people." "Honey, it's time for you to come in now." "Can I wait for Sam?" "She's gonna be home from school any minute." "Well, all right, but just don't overdo it." " Nice to meet you, young man." " Likewise." "Uh..." " Here you go." " Oh." "Here you go." "Excuse me!" " Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Where's the fire?" " Tell me everything." "Okay." "So, Alex and I had to write 500 times," ""I will not fight."" "But Alex had to write another 500 times, "I will not make fun of people."" "People are always gonna make fun of me." "Come on." "I think I know something that could help." "Okay." "Every day?" "You've got to drink that stuff every day?" "Barf!" "Barf yourself, Mr. Doherty." "The doctor says drink it, I drink it." "Like it or not." " That explains it." " Explains what?" "I'd be grouchy, too... if I had to drink that." "Grandpa, we need your help." "Can't." "I'm busy." "Grandpa, please?" "It's big-time." "Hmm." "Okay." "Make it quick." "So, you say they're picking on you at school." "Well, one kid, really." "Alex." "Oh." "Don't let it bother you." "They're jealous, that's all." "Jealous?" "Because all my hair fell out?" "And my eyebrows are almost gone?" "No." "They're jealous because you've been chosen for the role of your lifetime." "You've been handpicked by God." "You don't believe me?" "Well, maybe we'd better ask Baron Dedushka." "Dedushka?" "Are you in there?" "Dedushka?" "Dedushka!" "Good news, Dedushka... he's here!" "Ooh-la-la!" "Ooh-la-la!" "Ooh-la-la-la!" "Ooh-la-la!" "Ooh-la-la!" "Ooh-la..." "You're him!" "You must be the famous Tyler." "Why am I the famous one?" "Because God has chosen you... the strongest, the wisest, the smartest... to receive the honor." "Honor?" "Like a gold star at school, Mr. Perryfield?" "No, not Perryfield." "Dedushka." "And Dedushka mean not that kind of honor." "The honor of being chosen as one of God's warriors." "Wow!" "I want to be a warrior." "Oh, well..." "Samantha, I talked to the principal." "He said you need a little less warrior and a little more... peacemaker." "Samantha the peacemaker." "It doesn't sound as good as warrior, but I'll give it a try." "Okay, good." "Now, where was I?" "I'm a warrior." "Ah, yes, you are God's warrior, which means you can ride forth victoriously in truth, humility, and righteousness." "Dedushka is honored to know you." "Now, come here, Tyler." "Tyler, come here." "Even though you're sick, when people see how strong and brave you are, why, it makes them take a look at their own lives." "And so, maybe that's why they make fun of you like Alex." "But, Tyler, there is a glorious truth." "God is truth." "And it's your job, Tyler, to point them toward Him." "And if they turn to Him, they find the truth." "Wouldn't that be a wonderful victory?" "Tyler, do you understand?" "I think so." "Grandpa..." "I don't." "Ah." "I don't feel so brave because of..." "Ah." "I have an idea." "Grandpa, can I see?" "Samantha, be still." "Now, you hold still." "We're almost done." "All right." "Grandpa, can I see?" "Samantha, be patient." " How do you feel?" " They feel great." " Good." "Now raise them up." " Right." "Now your right one." "Your left one." "Finished!" "We're done." " Yes!" " All right!" "Just a moment." "Fantastic!" "How are they?" "They're awesome!" "They're fantastic!" "They're awesomely fantastic." " I want to see!" "I want to see!" " Here you go." "Cool." "Awesome." "All right." "Now, will you get out of here?" "Dedushka is tired." "Thanks, Grandpa." "All right." "Ohh." " Oh, you're home early." " Yep." "Made your favorite." "That's Ty's favorite." "Oh." "Well, now, don't tell me." "Don't tell me." "Let me guess." "Yours is... carrot cake." "Mm-mm." " Uh, marble?" " Nope." " Black Forest." " No." "Oh, gosh." "Premature senility." "I've always been afraid of it." "It's okay." "Forget it." "It's all good." "Ah-ah-ah-ah." "Come here." "Sit down." "Stir." "Why don't you tell me what's on your mind?" "Nothing." "Everything." "Well, that about covers it." "I just feel weird, you know?" "About Ty and what he's going through." "All the attention he gets." "I mean, I know that sounds totally stupid and selfish." "I just hate that he's sick." "Oh, sweetheart, we all hate that he's sick." "Sometimes I think it's worse for us than it is for him." "So go easy on yourself." "I just want normal, Granna." "Do you know how many times I've asked Mom just to take me to get my license?" " No." " Well, you can't count that high." "Oh, Ben." "We can't do anything because we don't have any money and Tyler's always sick or he's in the hospital." "Well, shall we accept good from God and not trouble?" "It just seems like all we're getting is trouble." "Hey." "Ben, did you take the trash to the curb?" " Honey, we were talking." " That's not gonna get the trash to the curb." "Talking doesn't even matter to her anymore." "All she does is bark orders." " Ben, don't talk to me like that." " Fine, I'll just stop talking altogether." " I'm practically invisible anyways." " Benjamin!" "I'm sick of all this." "I just wish..." "It's all about Tyler." "Benjamin, I am warning you..." "All of our time, all of our money, everything." "I just..." "I just hate him!" "Tyler, wait!" "Maddy, let Ben handle this, honey." "Come over here and sit down." " Ohh." " Come on, sweetheart." "I can't do this." "Oh, sweetie." "Yes, you can." "He didn't mean it." "Were those eyebrows?" "Yes!" "They were." "Go away, or I'll jump." "No, you won't." "How do you know?" "Well, because it took me a week to get you out here in the first place." "Come on, sit." "Look..." "I just wanted to say that I'm sorry and that I didn't mean any of those things that I said back there." "What do you see when you look at me?" "Ty, don't be like that." "I'm serious." "I know you're mad at me because I'm sick." "Ty, I'm not mad at you because you're sick." "And I don't hate you." "I guess I just miss you." "I miss all the fun times we had, and I guess I'm just afraid that... that we might not have any of those ever again." "You're such a dweeb." "You're such a toad." "I want you to write a letter to God." "I want you to tell Him how you feel." "I'm sure that He can help you and Mom." "Not to sound mean, but..." "Ty, that's really lame." "It's not lame." "It's my favorite way to talk to God." "It's like texting your best friend." "You're right." " Okay." " All right." "Okay." "Here's your pad." "All right." "I'm a warrior, you know." "Heh." "A warrior, huh?" "I think you're gonna have to be with those eyebrows." "So, uh... is Sam your girlfriend?" "Yuck!" "No way!" "Okay." "Sorry I asked." "Well, she's my best..." "like a boy... kind of friend." "Hmm, right." "Enough said." "You have any kids?" "I have a boy." "Uh... a little bit younger than you." "He lives with his mom, though, so I don't..." "I don't see him much." "Oh." "That's too bad." "Yeah." "Well..." "Aw, cool." " Like that?" " Yeah." "Nice." "Heh." "Hey, maybe you can show me that move." "Okay, come on." "Nice!" "Not bad." "So... are you on a team?" "Yeah." "I haven't played since I got sick." "I want to, though." "Yeah." "Hey." "Buddy, go wash up for dinner." " Okay." " Hi." "Thanks for the game." "You got it, tiger." "Hey!" "Be quick!" "Heh." "Uh, Brady." "I'm Madelyn Doherty." "But everyone calls me Maddy." "Anyway, it's, uh... it's not serious, is it?" "I mean, he's gonna be okay, right?" "We hope so." " Good." " Yeah." " He's a good kid." " Thank you." "Um, Brady?" "Your... bag." "Oh." "Heh!" "Okay." " Gonna need that." " Yeah." "Whoops." "Um, my... my mail?" "Oh." "Right." "Yes." "Uh..." "Here." "Sorry." "It's mostly bills anyway." "Yeah. "Urgent"." "Oh." "More bills." "Um, hey, listen, thank you for taking some time with Tyler." "I really appreciate that." "Mom!" "Phone!" "I'm coming!" "Okay." "We'll see you." " Bye-bye." " Bye." "Whew!" " Hey, buddy." " Hi, Mom." "Whatcha doin'?" "I'm writing a letter to Alex." "Alex?" "From school?" "Yeah." "Hmm." "You see, I just want him to know that I'm not mad at him, and that I can understand why he makes fun of me." "Mr. Perryfield said that I'm God's warrior, and that I can make him feel things that... he doesn't want to feel." "But that's good." "Because maybe... he'll turn to God for the answers." "Well, Mr. Perryfield is a very smart man." "So... what's up?" "Well, sweetheart... um, it's time to go back and finish your medicine." "Really?" "Yeah, really." "Okay." "Ohh." "Roger." "Unit 72 responding." "D.U.I. Suspect." "We have a minor boy in the back seat." "D.U.I. Suspect being booked." "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." "Brady?" "Brady?" "Brady!" "You coming in?" "The game's on." "Oh." "Um..." "No." "I'll..." "I'll see you later, Jack."

"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." "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." "I'm losing my son." "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!" "Um..." "C-4." "Miss." "C-7?" "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." "Okay, Ty." "Here we go." "Mom, do you want to hold the line so it warms the cells up?" "Okay, baby." "It's okay, sweetheart." "I'm right here." " 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." "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." "Ben?" "You home?"

"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?" "Okay." " Miss Emily?" " Yes, Alex?" "I have an idea." "Brady."

"Do You know him?" ""Well, he says You do."" "Mom, can I show them the play area?" "Yeah, of course." ""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..."

"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." "Okay, kids, time to go." ""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." "No more chemo!" "No more chemo!" "All right!" " Maddy." " Yeah?" "I have to be frank with you." "This tumor was very..." "Aggressive." "Yeah, I know." "But he's finished with chemo." "That means he's in remission, right?" "Loosely." "Loosely." "What does that mean exactly?" "Well, the MRI still shows spots on his brain." "And?" "And I'm not sure if these cells are dead or alive or merely scar tissue." "We'll just have to keep a close eye." "For now, let's focus on the good news." " All right." " There we go." " Hi, Mr. Perryfield." " Hi, Sam." " Hi." " Who's winning?" "I am, obviously." "So, is Tyler home and well?" "Tyler?" "Home?" "I think everyone out here is getting stir crazy, Tyler keeps getting stronger." "We should do something fun, like..." "like a welcome home party for Tyler." "Oh, how about a costume party?"

"Does he bite?" "No, he's a good horsey." "I've actually had this for a couple of years." "My son just turned three when I came back from Iraq, and my wife..." "now my ex-wife... she told me that his favorite barnyard animal was a..." "So, I go out and I buy this outfit, thinking I'd be this big hero in his eyes." "And you freaked him out." "Oh, yeah."

"I'm pretty good at making things worse myself." "So, what turned it around?" "It took Ben's letter to God to show me what I wasn't seeing." "Is that what I think it is?" "I think that's what you think it is." "Okay." "Uh, now, you know how to deliver babies, right?" "Because me..." "I only deliver mail." "And, um, I'm just getting the hang of it."

"I love you." "Go to sleep, okay?" " Mom?" " Hmm?" "Do you think that Mrs. Baker's baby was born to replace me?" "Sweetie... why in the world would you think something like that?" "Well, Alex told me that Ashley Turner's sister told her that when somebody dies, somebody's born to replace them." "Tyler..." "I don't really think it works that way." "But Ashley Turner's sister is 13." "Oh." "She's 13." "Well..." "Heh." "Well, with all due respect to Ashley Turner's sister, only God knows for sure how these things work." "Well, if Ashley Turner's sister is right," "I would want Mrs. Baker's baby to replace me." "He's very cute." "Nobody could replace you." "I love you." " Mom?" " Hmm?" "You know that God picked you." "What?" "Yeah." "He picked you to be my mom." "Oh, and McDaniels gets the save!" "Amazing!" "How are you doing, guys?" "Hey, Tyler?" "Phone." "It's Coach Dave." "Hi." "Hello?" "Uh-huh?" "Yeah." "Really?" "Okay, just hold on a second, okay?" " Mom." " Hmm?" "Hmm?" "Coach Dave wants to know... he called to see if I can play in the game next week." "Oh, Tyler, honey, I don't think you're strong enough, sweetie." " But I am." "I am." "I am!" " Yeah, I mean, I think he's strong enough." " See?" " Right." "What's the worst that can happen?" "He gets tired and has to sit down." "See?" "See?" "See?" "Oh, honey, I just don't..." "I really just don't think it's a good idea." "Please?" " Please?" "Please?" " Please?" "Okay, we'll compromise." "Tyler will dress up, and only if he's feeling really up to it, then he'll play a little, and if he's not feeling so hot, then he'll help coach." "Come on, Maddy." "You gotta let him play." "He's a natural." "Hmm?" "Hmmmmm?" "Okay!" " Oh, yeah!" " Yeah!" "Ohhh!" "Let's go, defense!" "Come on, defense!" "Come on, y'all!" "Come on, get that ball!" "Ohh!" "Coach."
