TYLER: “My great-grandfather, Scottish missionary Tommy Thomson died in India at age 34 when his son, Alexander Thomson was just three years old. I wondered what thoughts Tommy Thomson might have about his beloved son on this, the day of my grandfather’s memorial service. So I put pen to paper and created a ‘heaven-sent’ letter, if you will, from Tommy Thomson to his son, Alexander.”
