A Wonderful Turnout for the Benefit!

Daddy was able to go to the Benefit on Tuesday night, mommy and I were sick with bad colds. It is moments like this that we realize how loved we are and how lucky we are, too!

The Benefit was held at Manuel's Tavern, with the organizing of Robert Drake and Tommy Futch with Laughing Matters. There were some really neat gifts donated for auction, too. In total, over $1100 was raised, about 49 people showed up! Daddy said that everyone laughed and had a great time. It is nice to know that everyone came out to have fun, to help me, and honored me in such a positive way.

Mommy and Daddy have the best friends in the world. Anytime they need something for me or my brothers and they can't provide it, their friends are always there. Funny friends, too! Mom was laughing when daddy told her some of the funny things they said on stage and mommy would laugh so hard she would start coughing again! I didn't understand most of what daddy was talking about, but I know it made my mommy smile.

Daddy is going to put up a list of all of the artists and people that donated items to the benefit. If you want to know more about the artists, you can find out that, too!

This is a big Thank You from me and mommy to all of you that participated and came to the event. We can't tell you enough how much it means to us and know that there are brighter days ahead. Just look at how much better I am getting and how happy all of you are making my parents!

Tommy, when can I start taking improv classes?
