A letter of thanks from the Booth Family
Where do I start. I don't know if I could ever find the words to express how I feel inside. I
know I do not cry very often (almost never) and every time I start to write a thank you
letter to someone I feel the tears welling inside. How do you ever give enough thanks
for people giving so unselfishly and so much. This is truly a miracle for my entire family.
Aside from saying thank you a thousand times over I want to try and let everyone know
how much this means to my whole family. I cry alone in my room, afraid for my whole
families future. So afraid to ask for help and even more afraid it will never come.
Fighting all your own inner demons of always being strong and able to get through
anything without ever needing to intrude on anyone. Feeling you should be grateful for
all you have even when it doesn't seem like much, after all Tiny Tim would be. Than
next thing you know your dearest friends are working tirelessly to give your family
everything you need and more. Strangers from around the world are sending their love,
money and prayers. You feel your spirits lift and you know everything is going to be
alright. You may be uneasy and exhausted but you can see through the clouds. The
kindest of strangers and the help from your friends has lifted you up out of the darkness
and the light, that was always there, can be seen more clearly. This is what all of you
who care so much have done for my family and me.
My husband who is proud and shy, who never wants to take any help from anyone for
anything is humbled by the generosity. My children are more at ease and less afraid.
They feel my struggles no matter how much I try to hide them and I know they feel that I
am less afraid. I know my children deserve to have so much, they are so special and
they have been through so much in their short lives. They deserve to have something
good happen to them and maybe this is their time. Like my husband and I, they try to be
strong no matter what. Alexis will endure so much poking and prodding and never say a
word, Charlie will always be walking in her shadow and he will hold no ill will or
complain and of coarse the babies are following in their big brother and sisters
footsteps. We are so grateful for everything and I know one thing for sure, we will all do
our best to always give to those in need the way everyone continues to give to us.
Forever we will pay it forward and be better people for all we endure. Thank you with
all our heart The Booth Family
