I'm just grateful that while things were still in motion and moving around that we had our leadership teams provide for you: counselors, pastors, I heard there were therapy dogs -- I'm slightly jealous that I didn't get to have any a moment with a therapy dog -- Um, breakfast. I was I was really adamant about making sure that we paid for your flights for your spouses to be there. That was something on my heart.

Um you don't want to grieve alone. No one's supposed to grieve alone. It's not healthy. Um but I just think it's a beautiful honor that all all of these benefits were made for the community to grieve and remember Charlie. Um, and I really hope you took advantage of those in a healthy way when they were provided because it's meant to be for everyone for healing.

Grief comes in waves. Um, you know, some days are going to be tougher than others, but you know, take it as it comes. And that's why you have your Turning Point family and just lean on them and lean on other people in your life that you know will help you and pour into you and pray with you to get you through it.

Um, I say that though that if you do need more time to grieve, um, please continue to use um, Turning Point USA's network of counselors. Um, we have pastors. I mean, there are so many resources for you. If you do need additional time off, um, please talk to your director um, about using paid time off uh, for that. Um and again it's not not easy but again grief is hard.

Um otherwise honestly uh Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action will steam ahead you guys. We have -- Charlie would want us to get back to work and that's what we're doing and that's what we did with the memorial and I'm so honored and proud of each and every one of you because that's what we're going to do in his honor and in his name.

We have so much to do which is exciting. Um, Charlie in heaven is like you guys thought you had a busy schedule then just you wait and he's doing some awesome things with Jesus in heaven right now but there's so much work to be done.

I mean, since his assassination, uh, we have 100,000 chapter 100,000 chapter requests. Uh, we have 300,000 new donors. That is a blessing in itself. Um, again, not normal. Oh, God.

Um, I think we have 50,000 plus hat orders to fulfill. I mean, I'm saying these numbers because it puts into perspective that we're not just sitting and thinking and looking at the wall being like, what do we do like that?

There is so much to do. You have over 20,000 AmFest registrations.

The prophetic mind of my husband was that he always planned for the future. You guys are obviously aware of like vision 2025, but Charlie was also working on vision 2030 in the weeks leading up to September 10th.

And that's and he was working really closely with Justin. And that's why Justin had been appointed the role of COO because he was -- literally -- I remember phone calls when Charlie and I would take our night walks and it would be 10:00 at night and him and Justin would just be talking about the plans.

I was aware of the plans. I have his journals that are aware of the plans. Like there is no confusion of what's to come.

And I want to give you guys that reassurance that it's full seam ahead and the board and I are working with Justin and the executive leadership teams to make sure that all of those plans come into effect 2030 and beyond.

Um, but I again am so grateful for all of you. I'm so proud of all of you. Um, you honor my husband so well. All of you do. And it's weird to say I'm excited.

I really hesitate saying that. It's really hard for me to say that. It's a really weird thing to say, but I think it comes from a space of peace, knowing that God's using this and we're humbly witnessing the gospel in real time.
